I know the argument - we've all had relatives who smoked like chimneys into their 90's and got away with it (although not in my family) - but that was before we had all of this other stuff mixed in with it, diesel soot, global pollution, radioactive fallout from above ground nuclear testing, pesticides, drugs, Aqua Velva ;-), Al Gore and God knows what else.
