Smoking

You got to die from something right? Do you care about your family, loved ones, children, parents? Don't you know they will also suffer if you become terminally ill from smoking. We always assume that we are not the ones who will contract lung disease, or cancer or any other serious illness but the truth is, tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States...more than HIV, suicide, murder, alcohol and drug deaths and vehicle deaths combined!

1 out of 5 deaths each year are from cigarettes.

443,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke)
49,400 deaths per year from secondhand smoke exposure
269,655 deaths annually among men
173,940 deaths annually among women
