I don’t have the exact numbers on hand, but only like 1% of smokers die of smoking-induced cancer. Most die of heart attacks, followed by strokes and nasty infections with COPD.
And you always know you’re talking to not particularly bright specimens, when they’re sincerely talking about “the cure for cancer”. It will never exist, because cancer is not a singular thing. Cancer is a category for hundreds of diseases.

Not to mention tar lung, coughing, lower lung capacity. Add in smelling like shit to everyone around you and losing your sense of smell and taste.
Cancer isnt even near the top of those reasons for me not to smoke.
Esophageal cancer is also a big killer. But coating you alveoli in tar is not something AI will fix.
