    You know you have won the debate when the opposition makes up things that you said or implied for a basis to argue against your point.

    You just failed, Hydrocarbons do not cause cancer or everyone with a natural gas stove or propane stove would also get cancer, cellular mutation is caused by a number of carcinogens that are related to Nicotine, that is why people that chew tobacco, with zero Hydrocarbons or combustion are 1000 times more likely to develop cancer than by smoking cigarettes.

    Tobacco related deaths far outstrip any other cause of death Worldwide according to W.H.O. it is common to see young people of age 30 die from smoking related cardio vascular events.

    Again the pot calls the kettle black, that is your tactic.
    You serve up Baloney and tell folks its Turkey, and Everyone knows better than to believe you.

    You constantly and consistently use false facts and statistics to bolster your sagging eggs on a nail Anti-Gun Agenda, and you make phoney baloney claims that moar Gun control will actually prevent crime, a made up fiction.

    You cannot be serious. Smoking kills way more people than shootings. Derp.

    Drugs too. Drugs are a scourge on society. I suppose you support the "war on drugs."

    443,000 people
    Smoking deaths are one of the most preventable causes of premature death. Still, each year more than 443,000 people die from this deadly habit. Cigarette smoking accounts for more deaths each year than deaths from murder, car accidents, alcohol or drug use, suicides, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

    ^^^

    Why do I have to tell this to you people? Are you not adults?

    Drugs are almost a self correcting problem, Darwin in action, Heroin sadly kills many young people, if not for Naloxone or Narcan, more Heroin addicts would die.

    To clarify, Tobacco use in all of it's many forms is a well known health risk / issue, Tobacco is also a major source of revenue for the Government, hence why there is no rush to restrict its use, the Tobacco Lobby, and yes, it is a Lobby, because they have Zero members of the smoking public, only large Tobacco concerns, the Tobacco lobby is a major Political Campaign fund raising entity.

    The family lost a cousin who was both a heavy smoker and drank beer so much she got fat from the beer.

    I last saw her alive 2 weeks prior to her dying.
    I had visited her at Boise, ID with my dad and my daughter with me around 1984. I last saw her about 1989.

    Point being in 1984, she was clearly heavy. She was drinking beer as we chatted with her. 5 years later here in CA, witrh her virtually on her death bed, she did not seem to weigh 90 pounds. She appeared to be a skeleton with skin.

    I asked her as she tried to talk, if her doctor told her it was from smoking. She admitted the doctor told her that.

    So sad to see Cigarettes take a life. Her cancer migrated from her lungs into her skeleton and I believe that more than in the lungs killed her.

    Mind you, i know very little about cancer other than other people get it.

    Well yes, cigarettes cause cancer, however it is nicotine and added chemicals to preserve and flavor the Tobacco and that newer safety chemical that extinguishes the cigarette when a smoker lays it down, in order to prevent fires, My Mom died of cancer in 1987, at a young age and she had only smoked one cigarette, My Uncle that smoked for over 30 years had a CVA and other smoking related health issues died at age 90 from smoking related cardio vascular issues.

    Smokers also cause fires and are many times a risk to others as they light up without thinking, I was once having a large propane tank filled on a propane dock with many tanks being filled, the air was charged with propane, a man put a cigarette in his mouth and went to light up, I snatched away his cigarette and lighter before he blew us all to smithereens !!!!

    Smoking kills in many ways !!!

    Slow burning complex hydrocarbons produces a soup of partially combusted free radicals. You don't have the same risk burning small molecules (like propane), because they combust more completely and don't create as persistent a radical even if you do accomplish partial combustion. You should ventilate your stove top anyway.

    Tobacco smoking is a bad habit. When people smoke they suck that soup deep into their lungs to maximize their nicotine absorption, increasing their exposure and risk. But smoke from any plant material (marijuana, corn husk, wood) produces PAH radicals (the most damaging poisons in that soup). Approximately 17% of annual premature lung cancer deaths in adults are caused by breathing smoke from solid fuel cooking fires—like wood, charcoal or coal. (link)

    And yea, there is more than one kind of cancer. There is more than one way to damage cells.

    Bump your LP record needle, like most Lay People, you are stuck in one track over and over, chewing tobacco is 1000 times more likely to cause Cancer of all the related organs and systems of the mouth, nose and throat etc, so the effects of Hydrocarbons and other chemicals related to combustion are not the key factor in cancer.

    You keep parroting the same tripe over and over again, did you know that many people still believe as you do, that only smoking tobacco is dangerous, and chewing tobacco is somehow safer when it is not ???
    Do you chew tobacco ?
    Because chewing tobacco sans any byproducts of combustion, is 1000 times more dangerous than smoking, how hard is that to understand ?
    No Tobacco use is safe, and cause a grocery list of health issues, however, like most Lay People, you parrot quote partial information.

    You are not responding to what I am saying and instead responding to what you want to hear. I have not said that only smoking tobacco is dangerous. I have said there is more than one way to damage cells.

    If you choose to debate with what you imagine I believe, rather than consider what I say... you are talking to yourself. I'm getting bored watching it.

    That does seem to be the case. You seem to prefer to imagine what others believe and argued against your imaginings. You don't need anyone else to indulge in that.

    I suppose it is easier than actually holding up your side of a real discussion.
