son64 - you are right, but for cervical cancer is etiologically related to infection with the human papillomavirus, not smoking at all.
what do you think?

Its D. Smoking is NOT related to Breast or Cervical Ca.
There are two types of bladder Ca. Transitional Cell Ca which has strong association to smoking, and Sq. cell Ca, which is associated with Schistosoma.

Smoking is a risk factor for cervical ca.look at the kaplan notes,preventive medicine part.

The answer is D
Since smoking is not a risk factor for breast cancer, it makes the whole answer false. But smoking is involved in cervical cancer and the rest.
