(excerpt)

New research from Norway has revealed that diabetic lung cancer
patients usually live longer than those patients without diabetes.
After risk factors were taken into account, the survival rates for
patients with lung cancer and diabetes mellitus in the study showed
that almost twice as many lung cancer patients without diabetes died
compared to those with diabetes.

Thanks a lot.
I'm now - for the first time in 13 years - going out to buy a pack of
cigarettes :-)

Be careful you don't have a heart attack from the sticker shock.

I don't even want to *think* about how much more they cost now than in 1972, when I bought my last pack.
