tobacco use well that's going down cancer prevalence about the same 1990 to 2015 tobacco use has plummeted fewer and fewer people smoke there are still some cancers continuing to grow despite the fact less people are smoking

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

the 30 percent or 27 decline in mortality we are seeing in the last 30 years is following a 30 years increase in mortality from in cancer you see what happened was that with all the smoking anyone who watches mad men is shocked to see it like my daughter saw it and she was mommy is that what people used to be like everywhere they were just smoking everybody was smoking this led to such an increase in the incidence of cancer so that the decline in mortality basically parallels the decline in smoking that is all that has happened otherwise we are really at square one
