I am always very sceptical of this type of 'research'.
I think my liver will give out before the Big C kicks in, so I'll take my poison and enjoy it whilst I can

I love these reports, what some don't realise is that living is terminal do it for long enough and it will kill you in the end so i go with the idea of i might as well enjoy it while i can.

Having spent my first 40 years believing I was invincible (and quite possibly immortal 
), but then receiving pneumonia as a 40th birthday present, followed by my diagnosis of leukemia, I am now quite philosophical about these things.
I have not lived a clean and blemish-free life thus far: I smoked heavily for 27 of my 40 years; I have been known to drink alcohol excessively in fits and starts, with long periods in between of not drinking at all (which, IMHO, is probably worse than consistently drinking lots); I have usually eaten a relatively healthy diet; I have not exercised often, but ironically had almost reached a black belt in karate in the year before my diagnosis....
On balance, I'm not convinced it matters WHAT we do! If we're going to get cancer, we're going to get cancer; if we're not, we're not.
I reckon it's purely luck of the draw. (And I DO feel lucky, btw! My own situation could have been a billion times worse, and my chances of complete remission are excellent, so I am feeling very blessed. Plus, I have the loveliest family and friends who are looking after me beautifully. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, so what's to be miserable about?
)
Chin up, folks - it's not all bad!
(And this so-called 'research' was debunked a few years back, wasn't it?)
Cheers,
Katherine

Don't worry about it, Russell. It seems the British Medical Journal also believes that smoking is probably no worse than using electronic cigarettes
