Has been or “has been for a long time”
As far as I know, ‘(for) a long time” is preffered to ‘long’ in affirmative sentences unless ‘long’ is matched up with too, enough, as, so, before, after, and etc.
I understand his omen the following sentence is quoted on Wikipedia. Smoking have been
linked to a lung cancer.

smoking at all have been linked with lung cancer?
What are your thoughts about this issue? Thank you in advance.
I think you’re overanalyzing, but that’s partly because the linked article is a little confusing at the end. This really is a technical point. In your example sentence (as linked article explained), it’s being used as an adverb. How much relevance do you give to the type of sentence given?
Why does the article mention negatives at the end of the article? If long
is not used in a negative then it means ‘a long period of time’.
That only applies to its usage as a noun, and even then it’s usually used in negatives – this isn’t a rule so much as an observation on the part of the author.
Does smoking cause lung cancer in women or men? I would not say it’s better without asking my friend. How did you get the original story for a professional audience? What others do you do in the world?
I need help if I need something. Please help. What, exactly, will you do? Please share.
