I know I know! :) And I have plenty of friends who are smokers. I didn't mean to offend any of them, but facts are facts - the #1 contributor to lung cancer is (suprise) smoking.

What I was trying to say (in my smart-assed way) is that if people didn't smoke, the instances of lung cancer cases would drop so sharply that it would almost be like another "cure".

The intention was not to start World War V, but I guess I should have known how sensitive some people are about this topic.

So with all due respect to my hacking (pun intended) friends, I simply could not resist the temptation to bite at the stupidest, most misinformed retort EVER that said (among other things) get rid of lung cancer and smoking will be safe.
