I'll try not to be dumb. Smoking is not the only cause of cancer, but it is one of the big risk factors. Medical science is coming closer to a cure for cancer. Today many people survive cancer thanks to modern medicine, in previous years it was literally a miracle if a person survived. There is a long way to go before we could say cancer has been cured but it is amazing the strides medicine has already made to a number of diseases. People don't hate smokers they hate smoking (hate is too strong a word) or sometimes the lack of manners by some smokers as regards their habit. Posted by pelican, Saturday, 9 April 2011 11:00:08 PM

Are you also Leap? So your argument is that the relationship between smoking and cancer is all one big conspiracy to extract money from the smokers in the form of taxes. That is one big claim. The conspiracy was on the other foot when tobacco companies were hiding the evidence of their own findings as regards the links with cancer. Many other things cause cancer as well, science has yet to determine all the risk factors. However smoking is one that is well known and the evidence is strongly in support of that claim. Why do smokers have a much higher incidence of lung cancer? Even if you are not a scientist, that fact must raise some antennae. Fact is you are free to do what you want with your own body just so long as it does not interfere with another's right to a smoke free lunch. :) Posted by pelican, Monday, 11 April 2011 10:43:30 AM

so let me ask you..
do you recall EVER hearing
we have a cure for cancer
or a cancer cure is only a few years away..etc etc
[they have been saying it for decades]
thing is curing cancer has never been closer
think why
now
a cure is more in-sight than ever
now they CHOSE to ban it..
[or rather chose to attack it]
or rather tax it
thing is ONLY one quater of the most 'obvious'
smoking realated..cancers..ie lung cancers are smoking related
3/4 ARNT smoking related
yet all are accredited as smoking deaths
[ie ITS A LIE}..a profitable taxable lie
see all the spin
i have been exposing
why the spin?
to get a new tax
and vilify harmless smokers HURTING NO-one
drunks do more damage
auto's do more damage
why is prostitution and gambling just fine and dandy
but smokers are vile and evil
must be taxed into quiting
but lets face facts..many hate smokers
here is a chance to hate others
and to be in the in crowd
its al built on fear and lies
ya really think they can proove
that little sick girl...was a smoker
or that her sickness WAS from someone smoking?
ya think that eye with the hooks
went blind from smoking?
ya really believe those black toes is from smoking[not frostbite]
ya really believe that those teth went crooked and rotted from smoke
or from softdrink or fruitose acids...and them tb blisters on their lips..was that smoking related
or to generate fear
why would libs and govt buy shares in something they want to tax
to shut up complaint..have a say on the boardroom..to kill us without ANY representation by govt or 'big tobacco'
please think
is smoke the worst thing
or just the easiest to generate hate or fear
what next plain lable booze?
generic scotch..passive booze intoxication
taxing breathing!
