My remark about wasted funds was in response to post number 3: "Man this would be some good news if this progresses....the money should flow for this research...." by Earnest at the Beach.
It's about the funding.
The screen name is a nickname that goes back over 30 years. You do not have a clue to its origin.
All I have advocated in this thread is spending the money, some of that money taken from smokers (ironically under the auspices of offsetting smoker's health care costs) on research to find a cure for cancer, by which everyone would benefit.
I take it you are at odds with that goal, otherwise you would not continue to distort my statements or completely fabricate arguments which were not stated.
The rest is the product of your desire to debate tobacco, which was definitely not my point.
My point is, and was, cancer is only one of the consequences of smoking. And if it was cured, it would still be stupid to smoke. And selfish. And unfortunately some people would start smoking if they heard that they got a pass in that regard on the cancer part.
Then they could die of emphysema or heart disease. They could suffer more illnesses of other kinds as well.
