That is an inaccurate statement. We do know. Research has shown that one is at an increased risk for various forms of cancer everytime one puts a cigarette up to ones mouth.

That one has not succumbed to some form of cancer at 70, after a lifetime of smoking like a chimney, isn't admirable, it is luck.
