The article did not even mention radiation levels at Fukushima, yet you quoted it as radiation being not worse than cigarettes.

- tptacek 16y agoThe radiation levels at the plant gate at Fukushima are quite probably much less carcinogenic than a cigarette habit.
- Tichy 16y agoSo why don't they evacuate 50km radius around everybody who lights up a cigarette? Don't get me wrong, I want to believe you, and I am actually hopeful that no lasting damage has been done at Fukushima. But somehow all the optimism does not seem to add up 100%.
- tptacek 16y agoBecause standing 50km away from someone who lights up a cigarette produces no measurable elevation in cancer risk. Next question?
