Scary Statistic

Here's a scary quote from a recent issue of The Economist. If this doesn't make you want to give up smoking after reading it, you are a crazy fool indeed!!!!

"The single most shattering statistic about life in America in the late 1990's was that tobacco killed more people than the combined total of those who died from AIDS, car accidents, alcohol, murder, suicide, illegal drugs and fire. The deaths of 400,000 Americans a year, 160,000 of them from lung cancer, make a strong case for the prohibition of tobacco, and particularly of cigarettes."

I agree!!
