○ 1.2 million people in China die because of smoking each year. That's 2,000 people a day.

Bunch of fucking idiots.
Actually the thing wrong with statistics is they can be manipulated or rather the experiments themselves actually are now manipulated to get the exact results you want. the pharmasuetical companies do it to get products past the FDA now.

I'm not saying those stats are 100% accurate; I'm just saying you could get them even if they weren't if that was your goal. I have no doubt lots of people are catching all kinds of things from cigarettes.

Also from the way our food is processed, the pollution in the atmosphere, living too close to power plants and other types of factories and such, etc., etc. etc.
