SMOKING is the prob - not HRT

Someone needs to point out that the perceived increased lung cancer risk here is for women who SMOKE or HAVE SMOKED substantially in the past. The other risks (stroke, etc) are LIKEWISE concentrated in the SMOKING populations.

The rest of us who haven't smoked, and taken care of ourselves, deserve to have the option of HRT, and not have it barred from using it.
