re: Is smoking really to blame for lung cancer?

Think about those red wine heart disease studies. Do people order a Big Mac, Large Fry, and a Merlot? Do people order mahi mahi, arugula salad, and an orange drink?

Heart disease and smoking or heart disease and waffle house smothered cheese fries?

I understand your point. I smoked for about 15 years and dipped 3-4 years prior to smoking. I had very thick blood count on some test once and dr never rode me hard about smoking but that day he did. There were some other fricked up shite with my blood work I don’t remember also. I quit smoking and my blood went back to normal thickness, hematocrit and hemoglobin went back down to normal, also BP went down over time quite a bit, my diet never changed.

ETA: I have read a study about dipping where they are saying there is no cardiac concern with dipping, and the rate of oral cancer with dippers is the same as non dippers.
