There has been studies into the link between stress and cancer. We have already been through this.
I suppose its a coincidence that these guys get cancer in their lungs - where they breath in all the smoke then?
No it must be the stress.
Your reasoning is completely illogical.
There is pathological proof that smoking contributes to lung cancer.
You chose to write off that with far fetched illogical reasoning aswell.
Don't call me baby.
Peer pressure is also known as stress? Since when?
Btw, smoking wasn't even about peer pressure when early smokers picked it up. There was no reason for them to not want to smoke.
The stats stay the same with and without peer pressure, adding evidence non-stress case.
Basic summary of my point.
Despite what you may believe, you are not the first to come up with this 'stress' idea.
It has already been studied. The Cancer Council New South Wales :: Stress and Cancer Fact Sheet
There is a 'mabe' over the link between stress and breast cancer. This is logical because breat cancer is caused by hormones, and stress effects hormones.
Stress has nothing to do with your lungs.
But smoking does. Coincidence?
Smoking is the logical, reasonable, explanation. |
If breast cancer is directly linked to stress then it would be logical to comprehend that stress is a source factor for other kinds of cancer.
Speaking in particular about emotional & mental stress and not physical stress.
Emotionally generated energy is simular to radeoactive energy or energy from the sun, when we respond improperly to our environment and other people we generate emotions that become negative energy in the body, that energy is called fear or anger. Often people surpress that energy rather then acting it out, because it is unlawful to kill someone, and so that energy builds up and seeks a form of expressing anger by attacking something (etc.). Because we keep more then we express that energy then attacks the cells, or organs in the body, resulting sometimes as a disease called cancer, as well as causing norrmal functons to miss-behave and then our body is out of balance and things go haywire in a non-logical manner. aka - cancer and other diseases.
You cannot really discover that with epidemology because they deal mainly in statistics and the average person really is unaware that they are responding to situations in the wrong way, because they are brainwashed into thinking that getting mad or being afraid is perfectly normal behaviorism. If you do not express it outwardly then it is expressed inwardly via attacking our own body in a distructive way.
Distroying cells and the normalities of how we produce harmones and so forth.
I know this. Now those who read this know it also. Anyone who wishes to be in denial of this logical truism will not find a cure for that problem.

I never said that it was just a coincidence. I said that smoking is due to stress and that disease is due to stress - they both share the same orgin of motivation. Which is why more people with stress related illnesses also smoke, and in turn, why the stats showed that smoking and disease have something in common, the common denominator is the kinds of stress that upsets people emotionally and mentally, which then also upsets the activities of the physical body.
I conducted a poll here at Volconvo which demonstrated that smoking is related to how people deal with stress in order to relax. I got my own stats to back up my explanation.
