years and thousands of subjects have demonstrated that regular tobacco use, excessive

consumption of alcohol, and excessive exposure to UV are all linked to the increased

occurrence of certain types of cancers, and that the increase is statistically significant

to a degree that these factors may realistically be called 'causes'.
