"Then there is the simple clinical evidence that ANY doctor sees. The vast majority lung cancer patients are smokers. Ditto emphysema patients. Much higher risk of heart disease in same. WE SEE IT EVERY DAY."
If the vast majority of those patients roller skated, would you blame that as well? The majority of the WWII generation smoked. It's hard to find one who didn't. As long as the anti-smokers continue to lay the misconceptions on the younger generations, kids will start smoking and IMO these are the people we should be targeting to never start.

Funny thing. Of those who get lung cancer the correlation with smoking is enourmous. Of those who DIDN'T same thing! Another amazing cooincidence, women, who used to smoke in far fewer numbers got lots less lung cancer, again with correlation for smoker, and as the rate of smoking in women increased to male like numbers guess what? Ditto heart disease and emphysema.
Look smoke if you want, but don't delude yourself that it's harmless, grow up.
