Default WHO: Smoking Kills 5 Million Every Year
Stub it out and spend less time debating abt healthcare bill, reforms etc. Damn bloody secondhand smoke.

(LONDON) — Tobacco use kills at least 5 million people every year, a figure that could rise if countries don't take stronger measures to combat smoking, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
In a new report on tobacco use and control, the U.N. agency said nearly 95 percent of the global population is unprotected by laws banning smoking. WHO said secondhand smoking kills about 600,000 people every year.

The world of the demolition Man is coming. All the rebels will be living in the sewers and subway tunnels of the world while everyone with a stick shoved up their ass will follow blindly.

Wow and man lands on the moon too. Maybe these do gooders should be asking how we can afford the NHS seeing that tax on tobacco and alcohol pays the entire cost of it 6 times over.

Banning smoking I would find something very unliberating. Banning in public places is fine, and I agree with. But no free country should ever ban smoking altogether or it's lost the plot.
