[QUOTE="BenO1, post: 2598052, member: 244637"] When anti tobacco researchers are competing with each other for funding, then scientific accuracy has to take a lower priority. It doesn't matter if statistics show that smoking takes 4-5 years off life expectancy, because if some researcher gets a grant to show that smoking takes 11 years off your life, the next researchers have to aim for 12. If you through enough money at the research, they will tell you smoking takes 100 years off your life, by which time they would have obviously crossed the line into alarmism. [/QUOTE]
