lol.... ummmm not even close but that usually makes smokers feel better by saying that tho. there is no direct link between big mac's, whoppers and cancer. there is tho a direct link to cancer thru cigarettes. that is a fact not an opinion.
1 out of 5 deaths in our country is due to smoking. that's quite staggering! in fact, more people die each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from (HIV) yes, the AIDS virus, illegal drug use, drownings, falls, fires, alcohol use (liver disease) ,motor vehicle injuries, lightening, poisonings, snake bites, accidental gun discharges, suicides, and murders combined. yes COMBINED!
your chances of dying from smoking are roughly 50 times greater than being killed in a vehicle collision. if that doesnt make you want to quit today then nothing will.
smoking is just another way of committing a slow suicide because in most cases its a completely preventable death. discovering which cigarette in which pack you smoke every day that contains the toxin that gives birth to that first cancerous diseased cell, or that pulls death's trigger in producing that massive heart attack or stroke is a roll of the dice that many play every day of their life.
with an estimated $100 Billion spent on smokers and their health care costs you would think the government would simply BAN smoking all together. they make motorcycle riders wear helmets and operators of cars to wear seat belts in most states to cut down on money spent of health care costs as a result of injuries sustained in accidents. money spent on motorcycle and car accident victims doesnt even scratch the surface of the money smokers inflict on our health care system and economy.
