To play devils advocate.. we will never prove if smoking truly cause cancer, unless we go back in time and look at the same person in the same circumstances only that he/she never smoked.

And in all seriousness, my grandmother smoked all her life, from age of 16 all the way till she died at 103 due to Alzheimer. Her lungs were as gold as it gets!

Did they autopsy her lungs? Also gold lung sounds like a pretty bad condition. You sure that didn't kill her?

She lived to be 103 and has Alzheimer's. Does it matter? Plus, at that age and frailty, lots of things could have killed her that a younger person would survive.

I'm not trying to be insensitive to your grand mothers death but you're claiming she smoked forever and had great lungs, sans evidence except that she died late. That's evidence but it's anecdotal as hell.
