Where is the scientific proof that smoking causes cancer? From what I’ve read, there is just quite a bit of correlation.

And I also read that most studies of cigar smoking have shown that it doesn’t contribute to increased cancer rates, at least up to ~3 cigars per day.


You may want to check your sources. Here are a couple of reliable sources, Note that Rush wasn't one. Obviously.:
