> YOU, a non-smoker, are being killed by MY smoking? And we've never > met. Amazing. Indeed it would be amazing, were it the case as stated. It is instead the case that we are, both of us (along with everyone else) paying with our money, health, and lives, for the tobacco industry's profits. Some of us pay more in some ways than others. > possible .000001% increase in premature death Over 400,000 Americans die every year from smoking related illness. None of them calls himself a "possible". Nor is the term used by their survivors, their doctors, or the folks who pay their soaring medical bills (you and me). Meanwhile, every day 3000 more kids become addicted to tobacco. 1000 of them will die of it. Recent discoveries from the tobacco industry include their plans to capture the "youth market".
