Tobacco May Kill 1 Billion This Century

Tobacco kills.

Tobacco alone is predicted to kill a billion people this century, 10 times the toll it took in the 20th century, if current trends hold.

If that is so, why isn't more done to curb tobacco usage. Why isn't steps taken to eliminate some of the most common risk factors for cancer that could save millions of lives over the next few decades?

Is it because the benefits outweigh the risks?

Or is it because the much hated smokers are being exterminated?

Heck, I don't intend to be part of the 1B statistics.

I QUIT. I QUIT. I QUIT. Effective NOW!
