I saw an ad on tv last night from truth.com and it said that very 8 seconds someone dies from smoking related diseases.
so in 1 minute = 7.5 people die in 1 hour = 450 people die in 1 day = 10,800 people die in 1 week = 75,600 people die in 1 month = 302,400 people die in 1 year = 3,628,800 people die.
does that seem far-fetched to you do? (like a a football field of rainforest lost a day.) How do we call them on this?

Go up to the Maritimes in Canukistan, they eat tons of salt, smoke and chew, drink, there is better Shine in PEI than the ridge runners make down here, had both. Don't tell me about grease, mandatory, bacon fat for breakfast poured over everything, that was my mothers family diet before they went south, most lived to their 80's, 90's, and an occasional 100.
Now that the Canukistanian side started voting Liberal they mostly make 80 if they are lucky.

I read that China has low lung cancer rates because they air-dry tobacco, rather than "sugar-cure." It stated further that UK lung cancer rates are higher than the US because of a higher amount of sugar used.
I intend to smoke 'til I croak.

. . . due to smoking.

The one way you can challange these numbers is by remembering that they usually only represent the tiniest fraction of the population. When you first see these numbers they probably appear to be overwelming. However, on closer examination, being compared to overall population, they barely register. In other words; these numbers mean absoultely nothing. They are usually junk.

Noticed the same thing a years back about children being abducted. Don't recall the claimed stats, but it worked out to be that the entire population of the United States would have been abducted in about 10 years...

they need to do some truth commercials about abortion. The real numbers, not even falsely inflated, would really open some eyes.
To: Big Guy and Rusty 99
I think they said that was all over the world.
They are still sanctimonious twits though.
In their world, if your 87 year old granny takes up smoking and has a heart attack the next day, that's a smoking related death.

my grandmother smoker from the 1940's thru to the early 1980's. Eventully liver failure got her two years ago. I wonder if they'd consider that a 'smoking related death.'

Maybe they count the people who die as the result of being hit by a drunk driver who was smoking at the time of the accident.How about counting those also that kill while they are driving and smoking with one hand and eating a big-Mac with the other....

I saw an ad on tv last night from truth.com and it said that very 8 seconds someone dies from smoking related diseases. One of their recent ads are telling people that that same amount of people are dying from SECOND HAND SMOKE! Now, if we are losing all these people every day, how many people do we have left? 60?
They are a bunch of idiots! Teens on Estacy!
