President Trump Has Shown the Way

[Bar Sinister]

Smoking by itself does not cause lung cancer. There were many societies that used tobacco without the high incidence of cancer we have mostly because all they smoked was a leaf. No chemicals added.

I suspect that the reason those societies did not suffer from lung cancer is because smoking was not linked to cancer until about the 1950s. In other words they got cancer, but they simply did not know what it was or what caused it. Lung disease was very common among so-called primitive societies due to the number of open fires that they used for heating and cooking.
