The sun causes cancer, reusing water bottles causes cancer, tanning beds cause cancer, everthing causes cancer. So the way I see it, I'm going to get cancer. So what's the point in avoiding cigarettes?

Because all of that is like a dirt road to cancer. But cigarettes are like a freeway to cancer.

You need to look at relative risks. While all these things have some measurable risk, the risk from smoking is from hundreds to millions of times worse than most of them. What you are saying is the equivalent of "I wouldn't care if I dropped ten cents and lost it, so why should I worry about someone clearing out my account". Everything in life is a risk. You take a risk going out your door, but the home is one of the most dangerous places in the world. If you don't work out how to compare risks, and take those risks which give you good returns while avoiding those which don't, you either going to have a miserable or a short life.

Everyone has cancer in them. There are certain triggers that 'release' the disease. So there are probalby more triggers, and it is different for all. Stress is one of those triggers. q:)

because there is much more risk with cigarettes. the factors you listed are NOT all equal. if the risk of cancer is not enough for you, how about: emphysema poor circulation burning your cilia off with smoke losing your sense of smell difficulty breathing yellow fingertips wasting money on cigarettes being addicted to something at all, needing to take smoke breaks social stigma
