Ill join in here for the discussion on smoking since i know a bit here. Are u guys talking about nicotine versus lung cancer or the tar products from the smoke. Its a fact that smoking (tar products) causes lung cancer e.g. 13000 out of 63000 deaths in Denmark and 500000 in US each year. So quit the tobacco its stupid. Nicotine is not related to lung cancer but is the addictive agent. More addictive (hold on kids) than morphine and heroine...Smoking also causes cardiovascular diseases, other cancers and lung diseases. Kids let the scientists take over here...thank u...muahaOriginally posted by theCRO
just to add something, there exists a strong correlation between heavy smoking and cases of lung cancer. Research can only prove a correlation, but 'cause' is something different altogether. Lung cancer can also develop on its own, just like most other cancers, smoking isn't a prerequisite.
PS nicotine is believed as a substance to influence the cardiovascular system...
