I do not agree that tobacco is the primary cause of cancer. The reason is: Cancer was pretty much unheard of until the invention of nulear technology. And Radiation WILL CAUSE CANCER! And that is a fact! So also will certain chemical irritants. But I think the government wants to put all of their mistakes on the tobacco and alchohol industry. I mean people smoked alot more back in the 40's 50's and 60's than they do today. Yet the percentage of cancer back then was soooo low, that it was nearly unheard of! And thats not because they didn't know what it was. Cause they did! There are countless chemicals which can cause cancer. And most of them are found in your shampoo, soap, cosmetics and some sources of drinking water. I don't know for sure if tobacco causes cancer or not. And neither does our government!! They have yet to prove that it does. Just like they have yet to prove that some chemicals they are feeding us don't! Chlorine in drinking water is linked to cancer as well.

Point Is: I think that pollution, contaminants in person hygene items, Jet fuel, car exhausts, radiation, chlorine, just to name a few, could probably be a much greater risk to your health than any cigarette or beer!
