But tobacco alone has caused a cancer cluster, huh? Exactly.
What is failed to be commented upon is that cancer (most types) is a malady of aging and there has been a huge influx of retirees to the state.
Another item failed to be mentioned when it comes to cancer deaths is that Delaware has several of the more prominent cancer hospitals in the area. When someone with lung cancer dies in one of those hospitals, even if they are a PA, NJ, MD or where ever resident - it gets put to the Delaware cancer death statistics.
Then of coure we have the garbage air OUTSIDE that everyone in Delaware has lived with for so many years.
But, they're right - it's only the smoking that keeps the cancer rates so high in Delaware (/sarcasm)

"But tobacco alone has caused a cancer cluster, huh? "
huh? when I go into Delaware from NJ, and the Delaware Memorial Bridge, I have to come off the NJ Turnpike. To get there, I get on at exit 16, and pass EWR (Newark Liberty Int. Airport), pass the Linden refineries, and at the bottom end of the turnpike, pass the Oil refineries lining the Delaware river as the river flows into the bay.
This is a joke. Smoking causes cancer? What about those damn airports and oil refineries?
Isn't Delaware the home of Dupont? (Better living through Chemistry?).
Keep electing the liberal Democrats. You who live there are getting what you asked for.
Take it from me, I live in NJ.
