I work in a cancer center and see death literally everyday...still about 25% of the people working here smoke.  There is an absolute denial that it will not happen to them until that fateful diagnosis day comes!  I love the comments, I know a guy who lived to be hundred and smoked everyday, but you never hear, I knew an eight year old that died of second hand smoke with colon cancer.   :-[

How do you prove your colon cancer has been caused by second hand smoke anyway.

Pretty simple really.   How did they find out small cell lung cancer was caused by cigarette smoke?  The type of mutated cell that started growing abnormally will have the same origin, just as a metastatic disease in the body will contain that same type of tissue in the mutated DNA stands.

This is quiet simplified of course but is it in a nut shell.

Make them $20 a pack and tax the shit out of them like Australia does and that will get people to quit real quick.

Do things like this enough = more black market sales. People are still going to do drugs if they don't like the packaging they might just go elsewhere.

There are many kinds of cancer you can get by 2nd hand smoke, but colon cancer isn't one of them.
Actually, it's the only kind of cancer you see less in smokers.....Weird but true.

As anyone of us, we all have abnormal cells, and what triggers them to start multiplying is truly up to that person's vulnerability. Coffee, certain chemicals that we are exposed to, etc., but to say never I would never say.  Too many anomalies and unexplained cases out there to say never.  To say the little girl was misdiagnosed, I do not work at that particular center and only read about her case.  As rare as it seems, it seemed more rare to me that an 8 year actually had colon cancer, would you not agree, that this would be an extremely rare case and the cause I would imagine could also be rare?  This was this center's assessment and with the reputation of this particular institution that it was researched at, it would be hard for anyone to disagree, but this is Get Big, so nothing should be surprising.   :-\

Yup. I know some that go to local Indian reserves for the 200 smokes in a bread-bag-sized zip-lock for $15-$20. Apparently, they taste like shit, but they're cheap smokes.   :-\
