Welllllll...I'm not so sure that I agree.
Oh sure, no one really goes out (I hope) saying to themselves; "I'm gonna do my level best to contract this deadly disease."
However...I feel that if the precautions are not taken, especially given all the information that's available, then it may very well be considered self inflicted.
Russian roulette doesn't "just happen". There are steps that are taken. The gun may be lying on the table, but one has to pick it up. aim it, and pull the trigger. Every pull on that trigger lessons your odds.
As far as blaming someone for getting cancer? Oh, you bet your cute little bottom that we do. We hound, harrass, and look down our societal noses everyday at these people. We call them...
smokers.
