That's when I > heard that statistic. Probably cigarette company propaganda. "After Reeve's diagnosis, the American Cancer Society issued a news release with these facts: - Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 80 percent of women's lung cancers and 90 percent of men's lung cancers. - Environmental risk factors may include secondhand smoke, radon (a radioactive gas), asbestos, and certain chemicals and metals. - Genes could also play a role. - Fewer than 3 percent of lung cancers occur in people younger than 45." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/07/health/webmd/main1378734.shtml > "After Reeve's diagnosis, the American Cancer Society issued a news > release with these facts: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > - Fewer than 3 percent of lung cancers occur in people younger than > 45." I've known various folks over the years who have died from smoking related illnesses... Smoking is not guaranteed to kill you, but it does increase the probability of getting certain diseases... Kind of like walking blindfolded across an intersection... You might get away with it for awhile, but sooner or later the law of averages is going to catch up with you... Some people manage to get themselves killed in other manners before the smoking has a chance to kill them... Oh well, good health is just the slowest way of dying...

Look up "mutualism". It is a form of parasitism where the parasite benefits the host. Hence the Bar. Do you ever listen to Tom Waits?

That's when I > heard that statistic. My wife's grandmother died from lung cancer many years ago. She never smoked a day in her life. As a matter of fact, she didn't allow people to smoke in her house. The family had to fight tooth and nail to get the doctor to take the smoking link off of her death certificate (i.e. cause of death = lung cancer caused by smoking). He "just assumed". I bet that the actual numbers are way over 53%. >>> 53% of all lung cancer patients never smoked. >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >and she never smoked nor did anyone in her household. That's when I >heard that statistic. Yeah, I heard something similar at the cancer center last year. They also call it the taboo cancer, since it seems that everybody thinks "you had it coming".  Signaturedillon Broadway Photo sucks. Ask me why. > >>> 53% of all lung cancer patients never smoked. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > also call it the taboo cancer, since it seems that everybody thinks > "you had it coming". Obviously there's a lot of misinformation around. "Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths and is responsible for most cancers of the larynx, oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, and bladder." http://www.cancer.gov/templates/doc.aspx?viewid=2927BE53-725B-4135-A901-730912DA3343 |
