...It doesn't "cause cancer" or anything else. To substantiate that claim you'd have to demonstrate how every smoker develops those conditions. Obviously not every smoker does. Instead smoking elevates your CHANCE of developing those conditions.
"On average, smokers increase their risk of lung cancer between 5 and 10-fold and in developed countries, smoking is responsible for upwards of 80% of all lung cancers. Using American data, 24% of men who smoke can expect to developing cancer during their expected life time."

24%...Hardly "it causes cancer." What's going on I think is everyone likes having justification to express their animal aggression. Some bash gays, other bash smokers, but it's all out of the same animal nature that needs to occasionally get expressed. Expressing such emotions is healthier for us than suppressing them. But pushing junk science and bogus claims is also bad for us and wrong information gets circulated and as seen with religion, can come to be accepted truth.
