Re: Why Smoke when Lung Cancer is a leading cause of death?

Quote:
Tobacco smoke contains 19 known carcinogens, and it is radioactive!
Does this mean I'll eventually have a healthy green glow!

I do have to admit I like the idea of being radioactive!

But seriously there is a long list of known carcinogens that the average bloke is exposed to everyday diesel emitions, exhaust fumes from most burning processes, various chemicals such as chlorine which are found in every municipal water source. Just got a water report from North East as usual they were fined again for high levels of several harmful substances, the wells around here have measurable amounts of DDT and assorted other herbesides and pesticides, in spring they aren't just in the water but heavy in the air.

This is only a fraction of the substances out there trying to get you.
Heck not to far back there was a study that concluded that the grill marks on you're steak could give you stomache cancer!!! kinda high price for good taste... But I'll continue to grill... Nobody lives forever and I intend to enjoy the time I have...Besides the funs pretty much over after 70.
