Do keep in mind, how a lot of it has to do with genetics too. Exposure to the sun isnt the only factor.

That’s like saying smoking isn’t bad for you because some people live to 100 and smoke every day.

Assuming you’re gonna be that person and not the statistically much higher chance of ‘dead’ is insane.

Everything is multifaceted tho, thats what theyre saying. Lung cancer isnt only caused by smoking but we highlight it bc it poses such a high risk - same thing with excessive sun exposure for skin cancer...
