Interesting and informative article. At the very least, this is important information for people who are anyway smoking to know, so as to decrease their health risks.
Would just point out that with covid, I think it was a similar thing, in that among people who were super fanatical about masks and the like, even if slightly less people got covid, the tradeoff was more stress, isolation, and depression, which are all very bad for the immune system, as well as higher risks of suicide etc. And all these factors were not taken into account by the "experts".
Also, with Gaza, the far-right may say they're doing it in the name of pikuach nefesh. But even לשיטתם, it's not actually true. The right being in power during the war in Gaza, caused around 500 soldiers to be killed in the name of "total victory", for example. Had the left been in power, there would have been a hostage deal earlier, and this would have saved the lives of hundreds of Dati Leumi soldiers! Furthermore, the geopolitical consequences of genociding or ethnically cleansing the Palestinians would likely ultimately endanger all the Jewish lives in israel, as well as Jews all across the world. And not just in the long run, even in the short-term. Were we to go forcibly expelling all the 7 million Arabs between the river and the sea, as R. Kahane would have it, this could lead to a major civil war between the Jews and the Arabs, which could potentially lead to the loss of many more Jewish lives, than would have been lost otherwise.
Huh, I learned something today. Thank you!
Thoughts on the health effects of vaping?
My solution was to find a wife who hates smoking. Problem solved

Curious how this holds up against vapes, which are generally inhaled
