There is also some support for an oral fixation that results in people substituting eating pleasurable tasting but fattening junk/snack foods to replace the mechanics of smoking, ie, constant putting a cigarette in one's mouth for a real or perceived pleasure. That's what happened to me when I quit smoking; in 3 yrs I gained 90 lbs.

What's this called? "If I can introduce enough variables, nobody can ever possibly conduct a study to ahndle them all?" I bet you could prove mosquitoes are not responsible for malaria this way to. Number and depth of inhalations per cigarette (or cigar). So what do you do? Pass a law requiring that ever cigarette be outfitted with a tlelmetry unit with a unique ID so you can keep track of this? This is like requiring that every soldier and artillery shell be outfitted with GPS before concluding that shelling kills people.
