500,000 americans die every year from smoking

430,000 americans die every year from 2nd hand smoke!

and only 19 percent of the population smokes!

while at least 90 percent of the population drinks some form of alcohol, alcohol only kills 75,000 Americans!

Smoking kills more people than alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs and obesity COMBINED!!

Screw this totallitarian horseshit! Many of the same studies that these pricks quote also show that regular cardiovascular exercise reduces the dangers of smoking to an almost nonexistent level. Even without the exercise you're still much more likely to suffer health problems from eating Big Macs regularly than smoking. It's time to tell these busybody twits to bugger off. Vote against any busybody that supports or doesn't oppose legislation of this sort, every chance you get.
