Not only our ancestors. Have these people never watched "Going Tribal" on the travel channel. We watch it all the time and these folks live in smoke filled huts and grandpa sitting there smoking unfiltered cigarettes which I'm pretty sure are "lights".
I just have to keep thinking back to my own grandfather. He started smoking (non-filter cigarettes/cigars) when he was 13-14. He managed to live through WWII, 55 years of marriage, and made it to the ripe old age of 86.
I don't advocate youngin's start smoking, but geez I'm getting so sick of these people that pray to the "health god"
Have you ever heard of anyone dieing of good health?

We do not understand how/why some individuals seem to have an immunity to smoke born carcinogens etc. But they do.
HOWEVER, SUCH INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO VALIDITY IN PREDICTING DEATH RATES AND SHORTENED LIVES OF THOSE WITHOUT SUCH GENETIC IMMUNITY.
This is not rocket science, folks.
Denial is not a route to enlightenment.
