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.

Only an attorney would quibble over her choice of words.
No one said the 70 yr old woman was immune from cancer,
just that she appeared healthy. The cancer risks are printed on
every pack of cigs.
