    Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

    But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

    If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.
