The two act in concert.  Cigarettes destroy the cillia that
constantly move the dust and dirt out of the lung so that 
smokers, are stuck with waiting for enough build up to "cough"
it out.  Of course, any radioactive dust in the mixture has 
that much longer to harm the body, or even be absorbed.  

Of course smokers have an alternative life style that might lower
their cancer risk if this theory is correct.  They can sleep like 
bats - hanging upside down from the ceiling of a cave so their 
sputum can be contantly eliminated through gravitational forces.

:-)     Don't  choke.  

Physicists outside of the Eastern Block do NOT smoke, in general.

The Eastern block physicists do smoke tobacco, to a much greater 
extent; with the Chernobyl Nuclear melt down, such a vice will 
cause even greater difficulties for them in particular.
