-The article was written by Jonathan Foulds, MA, MAppSci, PhD.

-He has three different degrees, a Masters, a Masters in Applied Science, and a PhD.

-Credible enough for me to believe him.

-He agrees with the fact, saying that smoking does, in fact, cause lung cancer.

-Yes I do believe the him.

-Mainly because 2 of my, mostly, well-known relatives are smokers and they both have lung problems.

-The source is 5 different doctors..Baldassarre Stea, MD, PhD, Deirdre Cohen, MD, Linda Garland, MD, S. Jack Wei, MD, Scot William Ebbinghaus, MD.

-They all are MDs.

-Considering the fact that they are all MDs, they are quite credible.

-They don't put the entire blame on smoking, but yes they do agree.

-I do believe them.

-Well, they are all medical doctors and more likely than not, one, if not all, of them have probably done a study or two about it.

-The source is the National Cancer Institute.

-Well, they are an entire society of doctors and physicians specializing in all different types of cancers.

-Very credible, they are a national association, so they obviously mean business.

-The sources tells me that smoking is one of the leading causes, among other things, for lung cancer, and gives statistics linking smokers and people who have lung cancer.

-Again, I do believe the source.

-Because I've seen it happen.

I do believe that this fact is true, because it happens in 50% of smokers and the sources have all confirmed that it is true, by explaining in medical term and giving statistics.
