15% of all smokers will develop lung cancer, which is 95%fatal.

92% of all lung cancers are smoking related.

Would you get in your car and drive if you had a 15% chance of dying?

The warnings on cigarette packs are pathetic.

Taxes are pathetic as well, the state governments taking blood money.

People should be free to smoke, but they should all of the facts.

People are aware of the risks when they smoke. But in a free country, people should have choice to decide if they want to light up a cigar or a cigarette. Its gotten to the point where the tobacco nazis want to just run people's lives period, instead of making them aware of all the facts. And anyway, what I do with my life is none of their damned business.

We know the facts! We also know that "they" are telling us that french fries cause cancer.

Also, the sun, just like smoking, is a class A carcinogen. But I don't see them calling for a ban on IT.

People should be free to smoke, but they should all of the facts.

HEY EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP!

Rome2000 is on to the fact that smoking also makes us deaf and blind, and that we've never heard these "facts" before.

WOW, THAT WAS CLOSE!

Living is 100% fatal.

Are you aware that when any smoker dies at any age, that the death is automatically listed as smoking-related?

So much for statistics, more statistics and lies.

Give me your lifestyle and I will identify a half-dozen life threatening bad habits you have that are also none of my business.

You forgot to add that a very large percentage of male cigarette smokers get impotent at a young age (although judging from commentary on another thread, many blame the impotence on being circumcised).

[Great Dane]

#52....... 15% is not factual, it's more like 3%.
