Cancer and Cigarettes
Another 23% of Americans die of cancer. Medical science suspects and most people believe that much cancer, too, is caused by unhealthy living, especially by cigarette smoking. Americans by the millions tremble in fear of diseases like AIDS, or of murder (which kills less than 1% of the population) all the while eating, drinking and smoking themselves to death. Smoking, in fact--through lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema--kills more Americans than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, auto accidents, fires and AIDS combined. One-third of the American public continues to smoke.
