Cancer is preventable now?
Literally yes, it is, in plenty of scenarios. Smoking, for example, causes cancer. So if you get cancer as a result of smoking... that was preventable.
And deaths from cancer even more so. A lot of cancers can be extremely survivable if caught early.
Although the article talks about much more than just cancer.
Oh. Good to know lung cancer is only caused by smoking. I'll let the doctors know, thanks.
Again you're trying to sound clever but instead sounding... well... I'll let you work that one out on your own.
I didn't say lung cancer was only caused by smoking. I said smoking causes cancer (and not just in the lungs, btw).
They didn't say cancer was only a result of smoking, but that smoking could cause cancer. You beat down a scarecrow of their argument, well done /s
Thank you /d
Maybe RTFA?
