Why do you think that everybody seems to believe these studies?

For the same reason so many people seem to think George W. Bush is
the best thing since Abe Lincoln.

No, all THAT proves is that the ignorant can, for a time, outnumber the
educated.

Also, do you smoke? Is it possible that you are attempting to
rationalize your habit?

Of course not.

The blamers miss one very important fact:

If smoking _caused_ cancer, not only would there be no smoker
who ever escaped, but there would be no non-smoker who ever
got cancer.
-------------------------------

You clearly do not understand statistical causation and have a
defective mathematical background. Anyone who understands Theory
of Science knows you flunked the course.

And that simply is not true.
-----------------------------

Nor does it have to be for smoking to cause disease.

But they've never let the truth get in the way of their agenda.

Good Luck!

If it were not true, praytell, what in the world would this imaginary
"Agenda" of yours be?? Sounds politically paranoid to me.
