Interesting well written BUT Nicotine addiction kills….and it’s an ugly painful way to go - very very very difficult circular habit to stop
It's radioactive polonium in rock phosphate fertilizer taken up by the tobacco plant and deposited in the leaves that causes cancer in smokers.
You know, I've always wondered how that's the case for tobacco and literally no other foodstuff given it's not going to be tobacco farmers purposely ordering the cancer fertilizer.
Well cigarette smoking is down and cancer is way up…. So ya.
Tobacco absorbs polonium easily. Rock phosphate is considered organic. The presence of polonium in tobacco leaves has been swept under the rug.
I am interested to hear the downvoter's information. I already knew it when I heard it from a cardiovascular specialist speaking to a group of >70 other specialists at a cardiovascular center of a major hospital. He said the latest research shows lung cancer in smokers is from radioactive isotopes in the leaf. None of them batted an eye. I thought this information needs to be made public and the doctors who know are responsible for making an effort to do that.
