Laz, do those studies take the following into consideration: Genetic predisposition. Personal stress management with regard to cardiovascular disease and perhaps to cancers. Other environmental exposures. Brand of cigarette (or cigar) smoked. Filter, nonfilter, menthol. Number and depth of inhalations per cigarette (or cigar). I'll try to think of some more. With regard to metabolism, assuming we are thinking of metabolism in the same context, one of the reasons that quitting smoking causes most people to gain weight is they metabolize their food differently than do smokers. But, for the record, I have never said smoking is a healthful indulgence or that it is not a contributing or aggravating factor in some diseases. I have merely said that it is not the ultimate cause of every disease known to humanity, which is what the medical community seems to be saying. The medical community also seems to be trying to create the illusion that by not smoking we can be assured of never being afflicted with disease and death. Not unlike a cult, really. - Holly
