I can either quote stats all day with you or show you the facts of medical pathology.
I am a scientist, I have studies heart disease and cancer. I have seen these things in animals and I have necropsied the huge sarcomas in mice. These are NOT a joke. This is how it happens. It takes ~20-40 years to develop. I also have had and currently have family members battling this addiction.
Moreover, it is well known that the cigarette companies adulterate their tobacco with more nicotine, etc.--like arsenic and benzene.
Now, I can go down to where there is FasL and Fas ligand signal transduction mechanism with global genomic rearrangment of your DNA or convince you that your vice should be practiced outside the city limits of your area... Period...
And I am coming from one of the people in California that started this whole ban thing in the first place 10 years ago... There is less nicotine smoking related emphesyma...
Notice how I said nicotine, because there are plenty of Californians that still smoke--other things most are illegal, but they still smoke...
