Gotta watch that dihydrogen oxide, also. It can be lethal if you breathe in too much.

No. Smoking very rarely kills. Emphasema, cancer, stroke, ect... those can kill you. While smoking may be a contributing factor, it is hardly the root cause of death.

Are you libs worried about too many people dying from secondhand smoke, SUVs, and Global warming; or are you worried about overpopulation and food shortages? Make up your damn minds.

The way they compile these statistics, I wouldn't be surprised if they classified George Burns' death as smoking-related. If a smoker dies at age 90 of a heart attack, the death is often classified as smoking-related.

Yes dihydrogen oxide is far more deadly and dangerous than smoking. It even rusts metal.

Didn't Warren just die of lung cancer from heavy smoking? Now, that's ironic!

How about plain O2? Once you're hooked, the withdrawal symptoms are always fatal.

Funny how that works.

I guess the libs only want us to die of 'approved' causes.

Agency Clerk: "Can I help you?"

Man: "Yes. I'd like to apply for a death, preferably a quick one."

Agency Clerk: "You have the wrong form and the wrong line. Next"
