Can you go ahead and name those diseases? Hmmmm?
And because smokers MAY have higher rates of those diseases (do you really trust statistics?) that proves smoking caused it?
That's the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. I'm assuming you're familiar with fallacies, but of course, I could be mistaken.
I was referring to those you noted as not being smoking related.
Absolutely correct. People who get heart disease, lung disorders and lung cancer are more likely to take up smoking. Tough luck for them. They not only have to suffer from all those diesases they have to live addicted to smokes.
