nope almost 1 outa 3, thats why weve got text on cig packs like youre gonna die 10 yrs earlier when smoking

tha relative risk to get cancer is 22

so that means that when you somek you have 2200 times more chance to get lung cancer

if you are male and you smoke you have a bout 40% chance to develop lungcancer (understand well: not 40% dies of lung cancer but post mortem they find in 40% lung cancer!)

I think it's more than 28%. coz there is no such thing as smoke moderately.

don't smoke because it's the biggest mistake you can do in life.

**Spunky** · 02-08-2005, 05:27 AM

Bah...we all die sometime...lights smoke

**Wizzo** · 02-08-2005, 05:56 AM

It's hard to say because Anti-smoking groups have done much to skew the numbers for example if you die of lung cancer it's classified as smoking related death, even if you don't smoke and work in coal mine...
