This is a serious post, believe it or not...
I was wondering how people feel about smoking, really. Putting scientific mumbo-jumbo aside - since it's probably biased lies - what do you really think of tobacco, do you believe it is as harmful as people say or that those who smoke and get ill would have got ill anyway and the fact they smoked was incidental?
Think about it... if I ate peas everyday and got cancer when older, it could be said that the peas caused it. This is the kind of evidence that smoking dangers are built upon. Apparently it proved impossible to cause lung cancer in laboratory rats by keeping them full of fresh cigarette smoke constantly over a very long time. Interesting.
Ask yourself, are there people who have something to gain by misleading evidence and claims... hmmmm.
Anyways, what does everyone think?
See ya later,
