I have found it difficult to find statistics on lung cancer rates in Google searches but I may try your medpub suggestion sometime. Neither gov sites (NDHS??? NHSD???) or American Cancer Society seem to have them. That makes me suspect an agenda not a genuine regard for disseminating truth. The same lack of info is apparent when one tries to find out how many women die from legal abortions. I know they collect the numbers.

Are you talking about the CDC? I am unfamiliar with the NDHS. And as for not trusting numbers completely, I will agree, especially in the example you reference. It has always puzzled me that some of the strongest anti-smokers (anti-big tobacco crusaders) were all for pot smoking. I suspect that inhaling heated chemicals from tobacco or marijuana increases one's risk. Seems illogical to me.
