Of course not. Because we can't predict who will actually develop lung cancer, we assume that everyone will, and then discourage smoking as much as possible. If you convince 100 people who would have smoked not to smoke, you don't save 100 lives, but you save 10 or 15
Everyone knows that cigarettes are bad for you and cause lung cancer. But did you know that the vast majority of cigarette smokers will never develop lung cancer? 80%+ of current cigarette smokers will not develop lung cancer

#CovidIsNotOver This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
