Yet more political bullshit, they`ve been showing it here on packets etc for years.
I`m not saying smoking doesn`t cause serious diseases but let`s weigh it all up, for those who want to end it all - Drive your car into a closed place (a garage is good here) attach a garden hose to the exhaust pipe and place the other end through the window nearest to you in the drivers seat, start engine and see how long you live, i`ll give you two-three minutes max, now do some rough maths and calculate how much carbon monoxide is spewed into the air each day from the billions of engines worldwide using petroleum based fuels, causing acid rain and bucketfuls of respiratory related diseases.
If you want to see the damage acid rain does, find yourself a block of high-rise flats in a very busy town centre, these must have wooden windows, get as high as you possibly can and open the window, get some tissue paper and take a swab whilst running the tissue over it and smell it, it will smell just like neat petrol, older windows you will be able to poke your finger right into the wood.
A few baffling facts regarding smoking and cancers....
1). Man has been smoking for hundreds of years.
2). How many noted smokers from old died of lung cancer?
3). Walter Rayleigh is a good pointer here.
4). How come none smokers die of lung cancer etc?, if this is down to passive smoking then surely it means that if breathing in second hand smoke is deadly enough to kill, then those taking in every single toxic in the far more deadlier 1st inhale are damn lucky if they survive the 1st packet.
5). Why is it that hardcore smokers for huge parts of their lives go on to live to ripe old ages?.
6). How many passive smoking family pets with respiratory systems nigh on identical to ours die due to "Smoking related" diseases.
At the present time their is a bastard great hole in our ozone layer due to greenhouse gases eating it away, asthma and other breathing related diseases are at an all time high, government maths incoming - Ozone layer + Acid Rain + Respiratory Diseases = Blame the smokers
