Who beleaves smoking is being unfairly blamed for medical conditions?

Question

Pictures of people with conditions such as mouth cancer, gangrene feet with missing toes and fat filled arteries etc...are now seen on cigarette packets as a warning of the reprocussions of what smoking will do to you.Basically most any serious/life threatening medical condition will be traced back to the effects of smoking. Even if you have never smoked, passive smoking could be blamed. I am over 40 and know a lot of people who smoke including my father who is going on 70 and began smoking at a pre-teen age. He is more fit and healthy than a lot of men his age. Also my great-aunt who is close to 90. She is a healthy, happy bundle of energy, in fact amazing for her age and has no intention of giving up smoking! I personally dont know anyone who smokes with any of the conditions being blamed for smoking. I think this is some sort of government conspiracy. I think chemicals in our everyday life is causing us to die early and the government knows this.Who agrees with me? or knows im right

Answer 1

Genetics, a good diet & supplements would help protect you against the effects of smoking.
A bad diet is probably worse than smoking.
Trans fats & hydrogenated oil basically turn to plastic in your body.
With hundreds of millions of gas burning cars & coal burning elec. plants, tobacco smoke isn't the biggest problem, just one of many.

Answer 2

I agree with you, somewhat. I personally believe that people are born with the genes of whether they get diseases or not. I do believe, though, that smoking can be a contributing factor in these diseases that people are born with and when in their lives it comes out.
