Update: An earlier version of this article incorrectly claimed that smoking might help protect lungs from cancer.
There is no scientific study to back up these claims and we have therefore decided to retract the original story.
As Health Feedback point out, “large-scale human studies from the 1950s to recent times have consistently shown a causal link between smoking and lung cancer.”
