Mainliner can correct me if I am wrong...So are you saying that no one has ever had cancer because of smoking, or any other harmful habits ?.
i get the impression that he is saying, abeit not very well, that cancer is not something you catch, like a cold or the flu, but that it resides in everyone and that unless it is "triggered" (for lack of a better term), it remains dormant.
For some people cancer is triggered by something in cigarette smoke, for others in sugars, for others, teflon off their cookware, for others artificial sweetners, etc.
