For those who are wondering... Yes, this means eating 20 million bananas at one time might kill you due to radiation exposure. But let's face it, if you're eating 20 million bananas, the radiation is the least of your worries.

IF there were testable evidence supporting the claim, perhaps we would lend some credibility to the claim. As of today, we only have statements made by a human, nothing more. Not to mention, Cali simply LOVES to add warnings to anything for almost any reason imaginable. According to them, life itself is toxic. If there were radiation as claimed, there would be a warning stating that very word on each and every pack, and Cali would never rest until it was printed. There are a LOT of actual proven risks with smoking. Radiation claims simply lack the proof. This is literally the entire gist of the claim as it stands at this second "Tobacco contains radiation". Well.. "I can fly by merely thinking it". See? Just because it was stated does not mean evidence supports nor even suggests the same. I'm not saying it is not possible. Just saying that science has yet to prove/disprove the claim. The use of the term trichomes does not lend credibility to any claim by the way. And that is all of the further information the site listed in the description offered. I would be more concerned about the pills gladly handed out by doctors, for they have a MUCH MORE MASSIVE body count than smoking ever will. In fact, one will find some pretty nasty toxins in so many man made drugs that I am constantly surprised at how many will choke the pills down, never once questioning any of it. And here we are, someone says tobacco and radiation in the same sentence and the masses go running full bore with it, yet again never questioning. You know, I have some magic rocks for sale. Rub them together 4 minutes past 1am and money shall come your way. Hey now, I said it so it must be true right? No? Then what's with the blind jump onto the radiation wagon?

When I was 15 years of age, 17 years ago, something happened in my life and made me pick up smoking. Soon after anxiety problems occurred and I was subject to stress more than I could handle on my own, turned into a depression, so the smoking got worse, I mean I needed something to calm my nerves.. I became a chainsmoker at this point, I guess. I just didn't care anymore. Jumping to last few years I slowly learned again about joys in life and somehow felt like I was starting to crawl back up. Smoking was still something I would do by habit. A few months back I discovered this channel and ever since I've been watching the content you put out whenever I have the time. Learning is something I've always appreciated. Then just this morning I saw this video, and just by the end of it... wondering who on God's earth would experience more radiation than astronauts... For the first time in my life I threw away my cigarettes and somehow I finally feel good about myself, those cigarettes were such a burden and a shame to bear. You have no idea how proud I actually feel having thrown away the tabacco I had. Thank you so much for all the content you make.

@Mikael Frederer brain washed

[@HideFromIt]

@Mikael Frederer no, according to the Bible which I suppose you are following it was God that made humans. Jesus helped make multiple other animals but psychology and other factors were made when God sent his divine breathe into a mud sack and created helpless idiots like me. Plus science is purely based on facts that can be confirmed. Sometimes we get the facts wrong. (Ex. People long ago didn’t use soup to wash their hands). However, I do not want to say this but I believe that the facts out on the Bible are fake. There are many reasons for this, but if everything in the Bible was true it would mean that God has kills millions more than the devil. The Israelites that God saved are just a bunch of hypocrites. Also before the Ten Commandments it would mean that God finds forced marriage and other things I do not want to say acceptable. Ex God found David to go after his own heart (bunch of things wrong with this but let’s just say he abused his power as king). Plus biblical angles scare me. This might be weird coming from a guy names HOLYbots. Ofc I’m not telling you to change your POV, just try not to make other people believe what you believe in. I haven’t been studying the Bible for a while, only like 3 years seriously @lso (I am referring to Israel Old Testament god). Also some people might say that God changed from the Israel god or it’s all in Gods plan 1. If God can change that means that he can be effected by SOMETHING meaning he isn’t omniscient 2. If it’s all in gods plan, than he planned me to say this Some people say that something must have caused the Big Bang and stuff 1. Dark matter 2. We still no nothing about the universe, and putting the blame on god for all the smack that has happened is unfair to god and yourself 3. Theories / like God there are many theories predicting why there was a Big Bang But god could never hurt a soul ;-; “Oh you poor hopeless soul, how ou have wandered so far away from our lord and savior-“ Hisses like a snake
