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!

Tobacco is the number one drug in the U.S. they won't ban it now because the U.S. makes too much money off the taxes. Pretty sad, huh? F u c k in U.S. all we are to the government are numbers. Social Security numbers and that's it!!

yes I think that our environment has attributed to our bad health. Older people said the air was much cleaner way back when. I am 35 and when I was in my 20's I didnt have as bad alergies as I have now. My alergy test showed an astounding number of things im alergic to. My bosses say to blow my nose or sneeze in the back room, but then that'd mean I'd spend my work day in back. I cant controll when my sinuses burn and I have a sneeze attack and post nasal drip starts. It's a pain in the rear, tylenol alergy sinus use to work fine, now it doesnt, nothing does. Ohh heck yes our world has attributed to this crap.

People are living 30 years longer now. Cancer is most likely to show up in the last years of one's life because it is more likely to occur the more subsequent times a cell reproduces. They did not live long enough to get it as often.

I know it is hard to stop smoking but it could be even harder to stop lieing to yourself. don't let your habit wreck your self integrity.

So what is your point?
Generally, the place where you live in difnitely affect your health.... like many in Asia are suffering from Malaria because their environment is malaria breeding ground!!
but the way you state your question i difinitely agree with you!!!!
no scientific evidence that can prove that......

Not so much as we've had on it, collectively speaking.
