An interesting couple of studies

In the paper today, there was a "shocking" study which found that when teens engage in oral sex, they're far more likely to engage in full intercourse.  As if anyone is surprised at what happens when teenagers are alone and naked.

Also, doctors have found the shocking result that when smokers submit to annual CAT scans, their risk of death due to lung cancer declines by 20%.  Fair enough, but given a relative risk of lung cancer vis a vis smoking of 40, it would seem that smokers could reduce their risk of developing this brutal disease by up to 97% simply by laying off the cancer sticks.  You want to cut, in the long term, deaths due to lung cancer?   Tell smokers that, from this day forward, Medicare and Medicaid will not be covering lung cancer treatments, and let them make their decisions.
