Jay: No one can point a finger and say Smoking caused your cancer or eating too much sugar caused your cancer. We know that tobacco is a potential carcinogen. But, we are subjected to thousands of potential carcinogens daily. I was a smoker and always said I would never quit, I enjoyed it too much. But, while in treatment, I got up one day and just did not have a taste for cigarettes. Economically it is a blessing, I never realized how much money was going up in smoke.
Doctors and second opinions,,, It is you right to get as many opinions as you require to feel satisfied. If a doctor has a problem with that then you were definately right to seek another opinion
