See how they lie? This guy said "56,000" deaths, and the AMA admits they LIED about the 53,000. The anti's sure are disgusting.

Why should a little thing like the truth stop them? Please. Don't confuse them with the facts. They wouldn't know what to do with them!

Yes, they do.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the top causes of death in the United States in 1999 were:

• Diseases of heart 710,760
• Malignant neoplasms 553,091
• Cerebrovascular diseases 167,661
• Chronic lower respiratory diseases 122,009
• Accidents (all unintentional injuries) 97,900
• Diabetes mellitus 69,301
• Influenza and pneumonia 65,313
• Alzheimer's diseaes 49,558

To suggest that second hand cigarette smoke kills more people than Alzheimer's Disease is worse than incorrect, it is manipulatively deceptive.
