"But do me a favor and don't pretend like you don't understand what the argument I'm making is."

Honestly, I assumed you were thinking of something less trivial.

One of the claims presented was that smoking triples the risk of a heart attack, which is the leading cause of death in the world, and by far the leading cause of death in the United States.

Calling that finding "propagandized" and "sensationalism" because it's given as a ratio instead of an absolute risk is a little ridiculous. It's not like they're talking about the risk of being eaten by sharks or something.
