Both my parents smoked, my wife has always been healthy, never smoked, has cancer. She was exposed to a ton of cigar smoke from her father, but that's not my point.

You assume all the money spent in campaigns against smoking would go to a cure for cancer. Maybe but I doubt it. As for smoking, just my humble opinion but it is a dirty foolish addictive and unhealthy habity. It always made me laugh that there was a scientific debate over whether constantly inhaling smoke into your lungs was unhealthy. Duh.

You enjoy it, that's ok with me, but in my opinion it will be a good thing if smoking becomes a thing of the past.

But it does actually reduce lung cancer and breast cancer and MS and Lou Gehrigs disease in moderation.

Nope. People are not that focused. But even half would be a tremendous improvement, don't you think?
