We absolutely KNOW that cigarette smoking causes (or greatly increases the risk of) lung cancer, heart disease, and many many other lethal and/or serious medical disease.

You simply don't understand a thing I wrote. Smoking does damage to your lungs. Asbestos is a carcinogenic just as much as the interiors of chimneys that caused testicular cancer in the boys who swept them in Charles Dickens's day.
But when it comes to nuclear reactors or the crap that Monsanto sells, there is much more difficulty in establishing an open-and-shut case as there is with tobacco. And even with the case of tobacco, it took decades to finally nail the tobacco companies.
