listing the diseases I do know that are human-caused would create a letter far longer than should ever be posted here. And to what purpose? Just to satisfy your curiosity? My time is much too valuable to me.

Some easy ones: lung cancer and heart disease caused by smoking,

But not all of those cancers are caused by smoking or even second hand smoke.


cirrhosis of the liver caused by excessive alcohol consumption,

Again, not everyone who gets cirrhosis of the liver embibes.

melanoma caused by sun exposure, crushing caused by driving badly.

Despite one's best precautions, one can get melanoma (people sunburn even through clothing, and there were millions of us exposed before the days of sunscreen). Likewise, one's own driving habits does not insure safety. On the news tonight, they reported a woman died while sitting at a traffic light (in traffic) when a car that had been racing another car slammed into her car, injuring her children and killing the mother. How was that her fault?
