Funny, I've been waiting for something like this to surface. About two years ago I was listening to a Swedish podcast. One of the hosts talked about his super model friend who, along with a bunch other super models, had been invited to a dinner with the world's leading cancer scientists. She was seated at the table right next to one of these men and during their chat she eventually pleaded guilty and told him that she was a periodic smoker. His answer was:

— As long as you don't eat fish, you're probably fine, and explained to her that these cancer findings would the next big pile of shit to hit the cancer fan.

The two hosts joked about the irony that supermodels were the first to hear about these findings.



One of the world's leading cancer specialists said someone smoking was probably fine?

I suspect something has been lost in translation there.


"periodic" smoker probably means not daily, which means she's probably fine.
