This is really cool. If the research pans out, I’d be *very* tempted to start smoking again, despite all the other very valid reasons not to. Besides, if they can prevent lung cancer now, then by the time I’d be seeing the other negative effects (other than decreased lung capacity and dependency on nicotine), they’ll have solutions for those, too.
I think the stat at the bottom is especially interesting — only 10% of heavy smokers get lung cancer. The way the media spins it, you’d think it was much higher.
