Abstract
Andy Egan's Smoking Lesion and Psycho Button cases are supposed to be counterexamples to Causal Decision Theory (CDT). I argue that if well-known Newcomb type cases don't already refute CDT then neither do Egan's cases. In any event Egan's cases add nothing new to whatever case already exists against CDT.
