Strange how some people can smoke for 75 years and not die but others can get lung cancer after only 10 years.

City vs rural living has a lot to do with it, besides genetic predispositions.

I'm sure modern cigs with 1001 additives (for everyone's safety) aren't to be overlooked either, compared to lets say all natural & untaxed injun cigs.

Yeah. They say it’s from combustion of the tobacco, but people used to smoke like chimneys and be fine. Then they poisoned the cigarettes as another one of their population control methods. It backfired on them when everyone found out that smoking was killing people.

It couldn’t be the fiberglass/asbestos filters, flame retardant, chemicals to make it keep burning and burning evenly, bleached paper, and who knows what.

Yeah weird, almost like there is no single cause of cancer- almost like cancer (and most other diseases) are caused by a combination of practically countless variables.

That 100 year-old chain smoker might have lungs that are "fine" for their age. But the other 100 year-old chain smoker has all kinds of cancers. Only one of them worked in a building filled with asbestos- can you guess which one it probably was?

Yeah George Burns lived to be 100 years old born in 1896 he probably smoke for 90 years and meanwhile a 12 year old kid who's healthy gets cancer
