Cigarettes killed HALF A MILLION PEOPLE in the U.S. last year but only 30,000 deaths were due to guns with 20,000 of those being SUICIDE! most of the other deaths were CRIMINALS SHOT WHILE COMMITTING A HEINOUS CRIME! with a VERY SMALL percentage being outright murder.
Worldwide 4.6 million people are killed by smoking and smoking related conditions. 50,000 people who have never smoked die from secondhand smoke each year in the U.S.
Cigarettes need to be banned!
570 people die every hour from smoking and/or tobacco use, second hand smoke is the leading cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), last year 300,000 children younger than 18 months had severe respiratory illnesses due to secondhand smoke!
Mr. President you and Congress need to ban smoking!
