For those all up in your face about lung cancer:

Odd that the incidence of lung cancer began to skyrocket right after the above ground nuclear tests...

If tobacco use was a leading cause of lung cancer, it would closely parallel the decline in smoking that occurred. It does not - at all. Emphysema, COPD, I'll grant. Lung cancer is mostly caused by radioactive particles lodged in the lungs, remnants of the plutonium vaporized in atomic bomb tests.

This is why lung cancer rates have been declining for a couple decades now, rather then when smoking began to decline, and despite smoking rates leveling off lately. The plutonium dust in the air has mostly settled out, and we aren't breathing it in anymore.

Bleached paper clad tobacco is far more dangerous than leaf wrapped tobacco, because of the dioxin in the paper, left over from the bleaching process. Cigars have none.

I smoke cigars.
