Cuba developed a lung cancer vaccine way back in 2015. The US began clinical trials in 2016, which are now in Phase II development as of 2023. I don't think it's crazy to say that we will make lung cancer a treatable condition in our lifetimes.

But that's not going to save you from the rapid onset aging, the yellow fingers, the foul breath, the ridiculous expense of modern cigarettes, or the fact that they taste like shit.

Take up Russian Roulette.

There's still a five-in-six chance nothing happens. Cigarettes make you disgusting to be around 100% of the time, guaranteed.

    Malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, etc. already can be cured with high recovery rate. And yet, I'm not going to willingly get those either.
