minus-square@TheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish15•4 months agoLiterally yes, it is, in plenty of scenarios. Smoking, for example, causes cancer. So if you get cancer as a result of smoking… that was preventable. And deaths from cancer even more so. A lot of cancers can be extremely survivable if caught early. Although the article talks about much more than just cancer.
minus-square@TachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilink-25•4 months agoOh. Good to know lung cancer is only caused by smoking. I’ll let the doctors know, thanks.
minus-square@TheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish19•4 months agoAgain you’re trying to sound clever but instead sounding… well… I’ll let you work that one out on your own. I didn’t say lung cancer was only caused by smoking. I said smoking causes cancer (and not just in the lungs, btw).
