Oh, I don't have any doubt that truth.org is full of lies, and that certain factions have every financial motivation to put an end to tobacco production in developing nations, for it has such a high turn around it risks them coming out of debt...

I don't even doubt that cancer is probably the least of the worries.

But I, and every smoker, former or otherwise, knows the shit is toxic as fuck. You're basically replicating the process that kills most people in fires on a smaller scale on a regular and more direct basis, and it causes all sorts of problems, and nearly every smoker will report as such. It's simple enough to measure the reduced lung capacity alone, and that has all sorts of implications up and down the health chain.

All that's ignoring how damned easy it is to kill someone with nicotine, but I suspect the nicotine is among the least of the worries - were it not for the fact that it kept you coming back.
