See what liars they are? And the general public believes this stuff. They sure hate to admit that SMOKERS are paying their wages, don't they!

"About 21 percent of adult women in Maine smoke, compared to the national average of 20.7 percent, leading to a high incidence of tobacco-related illnesses in the state. For example, the prevalence of lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer of women, was 48.3 deaths per 100,000 women, the 47th worst in the country."

Isn't 20.7 percent about 21 percent. In addition, I would be curious to see the overall number of deaths of women. It is hard to understand the impact of the 48.3 deaths per 100,000 women (living or dead, who knows?) As it stands, that statement is saying .0483 (less than one half percent) of all women in maine die from lung cancer......I don't know what that means.
