If smoking gave you lung cancer, then everyone who smoked would be dying of lung cancer. Arguments?

I strongly feel that it's not the "carcinogens" that enter the body that CAUSE cancer, it's the body's inability or inhibited ability to rid of them that causes the cancer.... and what causes inhibited/reduced body function/immune system? Stress. The very thing many people who smoke are attempting to ease.

There's nothing "wrong" with smoking; its the body's inability to deal with the chemicals that smoking introduces us to that is the killer. Let's use common sense people; for christ sake. Else, why are there people who are 90 years old with no sign of cancer at all, yet people who are 30 who are cancer riddled? Look at their lifestyles.

I'd care to wager that a great deal of 90 year old cancerless smokers don't lead stressful lifestyles.

I'm not a smoker (of cigarettes) ....I don't like the taste... but I certainly don't disapprove of it because of that.

...and I certainly am not led blindly by hype to feel that smoking is "bad" or "immoral"... which to a smoker, would only cause more guilt and stress! Jesus...
