X, Based on which data? From the data I personally have collected in the course of my profession, I see a very unscientific and frightening skewing of the statistics used to compile data. From my experience as an extraordinarily healthy heavy smoker and from what I have observed, my thinking leans toward genetic predisposition rather than to any one thing people might take into their bodies. Tobaccco has been here since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh. Somehow, we have survived, despite the evil weed he brought us. If we live long enough, we shall surely die of something. I subscribe to Dr. Jonathan Miller, the British physician and playwright, who said something to the effect that too many people are far too concerned with preserving their lives rather than living them.
