So a nucler reactor is just a kettle with an extra spicy heating element?

Not spicy. Everyone knows nuclear power is lemon-lime flavored.

NICO is your friend https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NICO_Clean_Tobacco_Card

Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.
