Just goes to show that nomatter how perfectly balanced the body is in its homeostasis, that a single simple thing to go wrong, like a single frikken cell forgetting when to stop and die, can have such massive consequences.
Remember that when you're toking on a bong or doing a few lines or even opening up another pack of Marlboros. (general comment not aimed at anyone at all)

not that I'm condoning smoking or anything, but there are so many things that are approved for public consumption that are known carcinogens that it's almost a certainty that most of our generation will eventually get some form of cancer. Fast food burgers have been proven to increase cancer risks, leaded paint and leaded gasoline were still being used in the US some fifty years after they were banned in Europe (there are still enough lead particles floating around in US cities from decades past that it is still affecting us), and then you get asbestos, radioactive particles from coal-burning power plants (naturally occurring isotopes, but total they still pump out more cancer-causing substances than nuclear power plants.)
Hell, given long enough, background radiation from the Big Bang will eventually give you cancer=(
