"Do you really and truly believe that inhaling cigarette smoke DOESN'T cause cancer? Do you REALLY?"

Yes, but I understand the difference between causation and increasing a risk factor. If smoking caused cancer, then every smoker would get cancer and no non-smokers would get cancer. However, one must be genetically at risk for cancer prior to any outside influence causing cancer.

To sum it up for you, yes an increased risk factor is a result of smoking, but smoking does not cause cancer.

If you think that smoking is so harmful, then answer one very simple question. Why is the highest per capita smoking population in the world also the lowest per capita lung and heart disease contracting population in the world? (Hint: Diet and genetics play a much bigger role than tobacco.)
