Sorry, I haven't swallowed the antismokerists' cult dogma.
Please note that a "carcinogen" is NOT an agent which "causes"
cancer!!! It is only an agent that makes cancer more likely. Hence
smoking does NOT "cause" cancer. Smoking only makes it more likely
that you may get it.
I know some are laughing, but truth is that mental attitude is a HUGE
factor in curing cancer (and contracting it, I presume) There are so
many cases of "spontaneous remission" that are clearly related to
mental attitude (like the Placebo effect) that mental attitude clearly
qualifies as both a "carcinogen" as well as a "cure" for cancer.
