Having lately hailed Lord Nimmo
Smiths verdict stating that it is not proven that smoking tobacco causes cancer
of lung, I note that Norman Kjono has sniffed out the truth in the National
Cancer Institute’s discovery that environmental tobacco smoke is not the major
cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers. Let me just reiterate:
...These
results also "suggest that exposure to carcinogens in environmental tobacco
smoke may not be the major pathogenic factor involved in the origin of lung
cancers in never smokers but that an as_yet_unidentified carcinogen(s) plays
an important role.”
So there you
have it.
NCI speculates
that tobacco smoke does not cause lung cancer in never smokers. Perhaps, then,
it does not cause cancer of lung among smokers either? Major, major,
MAJOR bummer! We’ll see.
The
‘unidentified carcinogen(s)’ that play(s) an important role among never smokers,
is perhaps the same carcinogen that plays an ‘important role’ among smokers too.
Major, major, MAJOR bummer! We’ll see.
In the
meantime, the train of smoking bans will steam on. We will be left in the dark
as to what is the true cause of lung cancer, while anti-tobacco continues
it’s zealous attempts to wipe out harmless clouds of tobacco smoke from the
atmosphere of the earth.
Perhaps the
mystery substance is environmental tobacco snuff....
