Rockter will become famous soon enough
Start a new threrad on it then. It was not I that first spoke of it.
But this humbug that something like 3000 carcinogens... here are some....

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) class to induce DNA damage in the p53 gene in human lung epithelial cells. PAH diol epoxides of benzo[a]pyrene (BPDE), chrysene (CDE), 5-methylchrysene (5MCDE), 6-methylchrysene (6MCDE), benzo[c]phenanthrene (B[c]PDE), and benzo[g]chrysene

... cease to be carcinogenic the moment you breathe them out is the sort of proof spouted by global warmists. Just imagine... the smoker breathes them in, and they kill, given time. The smoker breathes them out, and they are harmless. That fug we used to see in the bar is toxic to those that first breathed it in, but not thereafter. Of course! Otherwise smokers will have to go outside, and less cigarettes will be sold.

Apparently re-breathing harms no-one, damage is done on first pass only!!!!. Cue trumpets, fanfare, National Anthem and talk of Goverment control.

In the 1960s, the cigarette manufacturers told us that it never even harmed those that first breathed it in. Then as the tumours grew, they went quiet on that one. Now, the re-breathed stuff does no harm either.

Apparently it's safe until proven otherwise, unlike the 1960s argument. Back then it was just safe.

Was it?
