>y-yeah not with 100% accuracy [???]
>it-it's genetic resistance
How peculiar that the documented oldest people who ever lived, some 75%+ of them were tobacco smokers. For something that was cited earlier as killing 50% of all it's users, then, why on earth would 75% of the most extreme aged population be smokers? It makes little sense. Even if they had some "genetic resistance", then why wouldn't we see more non-smoker's among the ranks at the very least.

If you study the pharmacological properties of tobacco smoke, you can see actions associated with it that would increase longevity. KLOTO expression upregulation, IGF1 decreases, etc.

>I can get decades worth of research that says cigarettes cause cancer
All epidemiological studies with flawed methodology with non-randomized sampling from an ever increasingly non-health conscious population (many health conscious people bought into the lie, acting on this information stopped smoking, and most health conscious people never pick it up because "SMOKE=BAD" is so drilled into most people's heads.).

>I'll make up things about the study design because the abstract doesn't say it!
>here is this absurdly high figure from the prestigious Turkish journal of Tuberk Toraks, which I take at face value!
>there is no selection bias in retrospective cohort studies guise!
What an astounding levels of scientific illiteracy and stupidity.
