Filthy habit, but I enjoy the dividends. Filthy habits are drinking to excess and endangering innocent lives. I'd be willing to bet that drinking alcohol kills a hell of a lot more people than cigars do. -- I'll bet you're wrong. By the way, you can't partition off just cigars, unless you do the same with alcohol, like compare cigar related deaths to, say, gin related deaths. http://tiki.oneworld.net/pollution/smoking.html says that 434,000 people die each year from smoking in the U.S and 60,000 die each year from second hand smoke. Then this site puts alcohol deaths at 100,000: http://www.bookmark-manager.com/permalink-41 And I think they are full of it, to claim 60k deaths from second hand smoke. If that was true, you would have a heck of a lot more than 434k dead from direct injection. I one of those numbers that activitists can throw out and feel good, and hard to prove otherwise. No those figures are pretty accurate. They don't just dream them up, as you think. Statistics is an interesting field, and if you think that they just come up with numbers off the top of their head, you are sadly mistaken. There is so much controversy on 2nd hand illnesses. My buddy smoked, he is healthy but his wife got breast cancer. Is that a 2nd hand effect? Could be. Could be or may not be. But that is the problem with the statistics. Only fools and idiots prefer to make up their own minds regardless of data showing otherwise. And where is the data? |
