Sin tax

[Raccoon1010]

I checked up on this thing about sin tax. People think it there are certain sins, like drinking alcohol and using tobacco. And governments are calling it immoral and therefore a sin. Like they are making up there own ideas about what is right and wrong and therefore good and evil, and that is outside the direction as established by God in the bible.

When I was looking into the issue I found this little nugget:

"According to the American Cancer Society, as many as 20 percent of people in the United States who died from lung cancer in 2018—a total of roughly 30,000 people—never smoked." Lung Cancer in Nonsmokers

And what I found is a number game deception and strong delusion the USA has put on the less intelligent public. At first look this seems to suggest that more people die from lung cancer when they were smokers then non smokers. But the truth is much different. Allow me to explain:

First when I did more research I found that the percentage of non-smokers that died from lung cancer was about 25%. That means of the total number that died from lung cancer 25% of the non-smokers died from lung cancer, and then we must conclude that 25% of the total number that were smokers we could not tell if the smoking killed them at all. So in conclusion, 50% died from something other than smoking, while the USA would like you to conclude that the other 50% died from smoking. But the truth is that we clearly cannot tell if smoking was in fact at all a factor in the deaths of the lung cancer patients at all. And that is the number game that the USA has been beguiling the population with.

Let's examine why: There are some possible reasons for this deception, the first is the "Sin tax". Lets face it the government makes a large amount of money off of the "sin taxed" items.

The bible prescribes alcohol for various reasons:

Proverbs 31:6​

​

​

New King James Version​

​

​

​

6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

Again a crazy and beguiled world we live in.

I should say that cigarettes are addictive and the reason physically that they are addictive I can't legally say. But I don't like the idea of people going to their death for lung cancer and having some crack pot doctor saying it was their fault that they died. And I don't like people telling other people something is going to kill them when they can't even figure out the math and number game that the smart people put on them.

A new Study from the American Cancer Society...

The bizarre words I found on the News regarding issues related to the cause and prevention of cancer, 30 types apparently that can happen within the population:

"That’s according to a new study from the American Cancer Society (ACS), which measured the impact of modifiable risk factors for 30 types of cancers among adults over age 30."

"Some of those factors were cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, excess body weight, dietary choices, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and certain viral infections."

Half of cancer deaths could have been prevented through lifestyle changes, says American Cancer Society report

First lets look at the word "risk factor": are there any risk factors for cancer? It is caused from damage to the Genetic core cell structure and reproduces abnormally which may become cancerous or not as some form of cancer which may be a tumor growth. Cancer is caused from exposure to radiation or (and this I wondered about actually) chemicals that are strong enough to knock out or replace a DNA sequence member which is a molecule. Molecules are the atomic sized pieces of information that the DNA uses to reproduce into healthy cells or mutated cancer and non-cancerous growths. How many strands of molecules in a DNA chain within one cell of the body?

"One copy of the human genome consists of approximately 3 billion base pairs of DNA" Base Pair

And that is in the nucleus of one cell. So how many cells does the body use for it's form as a human? How Much Does a Cell Weigh?
Well I ran the calculation myself and found that my body which is somewhat average was about 3.7E+15 cells. So how many base pairs in the DNA within the body? It was about 1.0E+25 base pairs.

Now I'm no genius but that is a lot of base pairs in the body, each cell contain a DNA containing nucleus.

Cancer causes are only those types of radiation that are strong enough to knock out DNA material in such a way that it changes the DNA and the duplicating process of cell production. How much Planck energy is required for that to happen given the physics process known as the "Photo-electric" effect. Photoelectric effect - Wikipedia

A standard atom is held into a molecular structure like that of DNA base pairs with an energy approximately:

A C–C bond has an approximate bond energy of 80 kcal/mol, while a C=C has a bond energy of about 145 kcal/mol. Which is about 7.6E-19 Joules per molecule bond. For the radiation photon to knock that out roughly thru the Photoelectric effect that corresponds to a wavelength of 1.0E+15 Hertz. And that is in the ultra-violet range.

So part of their statement is correct apparently. But with standard UV radiation from the sun which is a fusion reactor made of hydrogen, I'm just not seeing that many cases of skin cancer happening in normal human life. UV is not that penetrating in the first place. So I must suspect that all other cancers are caused by strong chemical compounds. Unless there is a more penetrating radiation. And a fusion reactor like the sun, certainly generates gamma radiation, x-ray, UV and visible light along with other wavelengths of light.

So they say strong chemicals might be responsible for other causes of cancer. I will possibly look into the chemical physics of that at some time. And whether that is true. But I did find the possible source of "ALL" cancers as solar radiaton, x-ray and gamma will penetrate the body. And they said "ultraviolet (UV) radiation and certain viral infections.", and I believe they are saying that viral infections work thru a chemical reaction that happens when the virus consumes food in the cell. It would have to enter the nucleus and interact with the DNA at the molecular level to accomplish that.

They also said: "cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, excess body weight, dietary choices" affect cancer prevention, and I already addressed some of those lies. To state a simple example of what they are lying about whether intentional or not, lets look at the percentage. And I covered that in the previous post which is the OP of this thread.

And the possibility that the sun's radiation is the cause of all cancers throughout the body, means they cannot assess that chemical damage is in the fact the cause. And unless I check the validity of the chemical process I cannot say chemicals don't cause it also as a factor in the cases observed in the population. But as stated in the previous post they certainly cannot say cigarettes cause cancer.

So why does the government put warning labels on cigarettes to begin with? To say they may or do cause cancer and other problems. Is it for fear? How effective is fear as a teaching tool? How and what do we learn when we are scared?

@JohnDB take a look at post #1 if you would like to learn the truth about cancer in smokers of tobacco.

I had lung cancer. As a result in November of 2022 they removed the lower third of my right lung.
I never smoked.
