What cancers is cigarette smoking NOT a risk factor for?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hm, thanks. made a poor inference from a recent NBME question that asked for the greatest risk factor in stomach cancer - and the answer wasn't smoking.

If it's the question I'm thinking of, was it a japanese dude? "smoke" was still involved in the answer even if it wasn't smoking...
 
This might not be related to a cancer, but what is the pathology that improves with smoking? I'm totally drawing a blank, and I think it's only one thing that actually improves with smoking.

Was it age or H. pylori?

NVM: just saw above post. But now I'm wondering about the greatest overall risk of stomach cancer. It should be H. pylori.

Schizophrenia is also improved with smoking.
