Interesting remark by John Lennox, that although there is concrete evidence of smoking causing cancer, people continue to smoke.
I am, unfortunately, a smoker my self, and although I am totally aware of the consequences, I keep on doing it for the simple reason that I am deeply biologically and psychologically addicted to it.
Deep psychological addiction (caused by family and social brainwashing) is the main reason for continuing religious belief, although concrete evidence points to the opposite direction.
I found out that my childhood religious addiction was easier to overcome than my adult smoking addiction, thanks to the people that pointed out the evidence.

So thank you
