Quote by: Marilyn Monroe  I looked up the how's on medical research because smoking leads to medical problems for a lot of people.
Well what I saw is if they had a controlled study of 10 smokers, and 9 died before age 60 you might presume that the smoking had something to do with it, if 10 non-smokers were also tested and they lived past age 60, then not smoking probably led to the longer life span. Sure there might be one or two who had fantastic genes and they lived even after smoking, but still if 8 of them died before age 60 you'd assume most people will die early from smoking. But it's not like they did a couple studies here and there, they've done literally thousands of studies on this health issue. The conclusions are always the same. Smoking tobacco shortens the lifespan. |
"Fantastic Genes" - that was on some scientific report?
I have debated that opinion already.
Can you show us the notes on that study so we can see if it was conducted properly? Or is this another "have faith" claim. Anyway I am over the age of 60 and so that study does not apply to me. Hmm? why don't they study my fantastic genes so they can find out how to fix everyone else up so they won't die before the age of 50. Here I am, what made me so fantanstic, my body must hold the key for the cure. I will let them test me for one million bucks.
