I understand the desire to blame something.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of enough evidence in the universe to be come to that conclusion.
Statistically speaking the odds are very high that it was something else because so many things cause cancer.
It's safe to assume that roundup causes less than 50% of cancer deaths (it's probably much lower), which means that most likely it wasn't roundup. Even if it was shown to be worse than tobacco, it's still a long way from being the likely culprit. Tobacco is the single worst thing, so we are very aware of it. It 'only' causes 30% of deaths, but that has mobilized governments around the world to curb its use.
