I think you also need to allow for the fact that most smokers are also heavy coffee drinkers (often combining the two). Otherwise any positive correlation may be a result of the smokers who also drank coffee. For this study to be valid you need to isolate the coffee drinking smokers from the coffee drinking non smokers. Heavy coffee drinking may also correlate with other cancer inducing variables such as general lifestyle (stress is an example). Andy Marshall Excellent study.

While several lines of evidence suggest a direct effect, it has not yet been shown. @Jay The study identifies an association between coffee consumption and risk of liver cancer.

A study involving analysing the data on 126,000 people for a period of as long as 18 years was conducted by Harvard researchers.It compared non drinkers to people drinking 1-3 cups and people drinking 6 cups or more each day. And it was found that drinking 1-3 cups of coffee reduced the risk by single digits but 6 cups of more of coffee reduced the risk by 54% in men and 30% in women.
