Probably. But some might have been just ignorance. People in the media are not very bright & I doubt they do much quality research. Which is stupid because there is a wealth of reliable medical information on the web.
No one survives stage 4 esophageal cancer.
A lot smokers think lung cancer is the (only) biggie. As I understand it, esophageal / throat cancer is a nasty one for spreading. George Harrison died of brain cancer that emerged after treatment for throat cancer.
While I don't believe in legally restricting an adult's right to smoke, I would sure like to see the habit peter out.
