Better than selling cancer. There's bound to be another, better way.

Everything causes cancer.

Everything.

I mean if we are talking about a long enough span of time yes. You could go a step further and include that everything will turn to dust, everything. I have a feeling that smoking causes one of the more dangerous types of cancer, and far quicker than say, getting it due to chance or genetics, microplastics etc. One of the things that always bugged me about smokers is that it genuinely feels like a zero sum habit. Especially now. I could understand up to the 2010s the social aspect, but that's mostly gone now too. There's no upside to smoking.
