I feel like you are omitting the fact that smoking causes cancer.

One smokes flower on a much lower magnitude. If you were to compare it to smoking cigarettes it would be 1 cigarette a day vs one pack a day.

Second, stress causes cancer. If one is using just a little bit to wean off the stress that'd work out. Also pollution causes cancer. I don't see anyone banning cars, not even having some regulations for large diesel trucks which leave a humongous trail of smoke...

That is quite a statement.

> The best quality studies have followed up many people for several years. They have found no evidence that those who are more stressed are more likely to get cancer.

> Some people wonder whether stress causes breast cancer. But overall, the evidence for this has been poor. And a large study of over 100,000 women in the UK in 2016 showed no consistent evidence between stress and breast cancer.

There are plenty of other articles around summarizing studies like this.
