"Bloomberg also compares the number of deaths caused by secondhand smoke to the number of people killed in the World Trade Center collapse.
Doubling his previous estimates, the mayor says that 2,000 New Yorkers die each year from secondhand smoke."
Name one, you blooming idiot. Just one name!

Not only is it not true, but even if you assume it is true the 2000 U.S. Census lists the population of NYC as
8,008,278.
What are 2000 deaths compared to the total population? What is the leading cause of death in NYC? What are the total number of annual deaths in NYC?
The point is that even if these phonied up death statistics are true, they're a mere drop in the bucket and engaging in massive social engineering over a drop in the bucket should give us a clue as to where this jerk is headed.
