Getting an infraction on these forums classified as a retard retort? Classy.
"There is absolutely no proof that smoking causes cancer.
That being said, there is an extremely high correlation between smoking and cancer. What does that mean? We can't 'prove' that smoking causes lung cancer, but we can observe that you are much more likely to get lung cancer if you are a smoker.
Your statistics are off. Far more than 10% of lung cancer patients are smokers or former smokers. I think the number is more like 60% or higher."
Cancer can certainly lead to it and give a higher percentage, but there is no concrete proof between the two. I knew somebody would bite that and rage. Think before you post please.
And it never expires, bonus. Please review your moderators. :)
