He admitted it in interviews after chemo, but that was not my point. My point is that companies that sell booze and smokes have no problem selling to the poor too. My point is you can't scream about a free market then condemn the poor for partaking in it.

The exact cause of many cancers typically goes undiagnosed. His heavy smoking and alcohol consumption certainly didn't help and undoubtedly raised his risk, but I keep in mind that his father died of esophageal cancer. Also, 30% of esophageal cancers are reported to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. There are other known causes. Declaring that smoking and drinking killed Hitchens is a bit presumptuous.
