Especially if smoking had nothing to do with his death. If it did and they can honestly say it caused it, that would be the FIRST ever death certificate that the Antis could show off in public.

http://emphysemafoundation.org/ Emphysema is the fourth largest cause of mortality in the U.S., yet it is not a highly publicized disease, consequently, little is known about it by the average citizen. Almost 16-30 million U.S. citizens are afflicted with emphysema... and every year approximately 100,000 sufferers die of the disease. Smoking is the major cause, but with ever increasing air pollution and other environmental factors that negatively affect pulmonary patients, those numbers are on the rise.

The passionately addicted are not likely to be influenced by facts.

But they will be happy to rant, whine and rail at the providers of facts.
