#1601, "Its not just heart disease either."
Edited on Thu 06-Dec-07 09:12 AM

CDC statistics reported 6000 pancreatic cancer incidents that were "smoking related". There were a total of 31,000 deaths that year to pancreatic cancer. It just happens to work out be 1 in 5, or 20%, roughly similiar to the distribution of smokers to the population.
Etc, if you go through the numbers, almost all of them have eerily similiar results.
I'm not saying the studies that show a link are wrong or "cheating" at all. I'm saying the statistics used in the propaganda put out are well, propagandized.
I wasn't disputing that there is a causal link between smoking and lung cancer or smoking and heart attack, the analogy I was drawing is that when people seek to prove something they inevitably do. When there's an agenda on the table, it mucks up the impartiality of the results.
In terms of smoking, its just like I said - they overstate the statistics for propaganda reasons.
