Over 1500 above ground nuclear tests never ignited the atmosphere, but the radioactive particles they left blowing about in the atmosphere have given (and are still giving) millions of people lung cancer. Thankfully cigarette smoking was available to catch all the blame.
John Wayne's death (blamed on smoking) actually came from his making a movie in New Mexico at a testing ground. Him and half the cast died in ensuing years, all because they were "smokers."
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5461667 You are correct about the cancer, but we need to differentiate between above ground tests and high-altitude tests. At ground level the air is thick and rich with oxygen, at high altitudes it is very thin and O2 is scarce. Logically the chance of ignition would probably be more likely at low altitudes. Just guessing here, but then again some new, hotter weapon may set it off. I like to remind people that lung cancer rates jumped AFTER nuclear weapons were developed and tested. People smoked tobacco leaves for centuries without all the deaths we see today. Smokers develop a mucus layer in the lungs that they cough up regularly. Maybe those radioactive particles can't stick inside their lungs like they do the pretty pink lungs of non-smokers (who rarely cough).
