I'd like to point out that I don't have any of them ailments, my gran who smoked never died from any of them (or anything even remotely smoking related) my other gran who is still alive and over 80 (and smokes) has none of them, in fact, I can safely say as far as I know, not a single person I know or have known has had or has died from anything that could be construed as smoking related. I increase my risk (apparently) through smoking of contracting lung cancer, so? Eating meat that's slightly charcoaled is apparently supposed to increase your risk of cancer, are you do-gooders going to give up barbecues?
