Smoke cigs, get cancer. Drink cofffee, fight cancer. I had a good thing going a few years ago!
Now we just need a study that shows that sex can reverse the negative effects of liquor, and we’ll be all set.
Heres a link to a great website with a great chart (GO THERE!)
-Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 440,000 deaths, or about 1 of every 5 deaths, each year. This estimate includes 35,000 deaths from secondhand smoke exposure.
-Cigarette smoking kills an estimated 264,000 men and 178,000 women in the United States each year.
-More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.
-On average, adults who smoke cigarettes die 13–14 years earlier than nonsmokers.
-Based on current cigarette smoking patterns, an estimated 25 million Americans who are alive today will die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses, including 5 million people younger than 18.
-Smoking causes approximately $157 billion in annual health-related economic losses.
