Well, it has been shown that if you run the smoke of 1000 cigarettes through
a liquid nitrogen cold trap, collect the tar, dissolve it in acetone, and
paint it onto the skin of a hairless lab mouse that has a genetic
predisposition to cancer, that by golly, the mouse gets skin cancer!

Thanks,

Life causes cancer. If you don't die of cancer it was simply because
something else got your first.
