Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sex on X (guys)
I never said anything about smoking or tobacco use in general.
The article you linked also lists as "top killers":
Poor diet and physical inactivity (400,000)
Microbial agents (e.g., influenza and pneumonia, 75,000)Toxic agents (e.g., pollutants and asbestos, 55,000)Motor vehicle accidents (43,000), firearms (29,000)Sexual behavior (20,000)
illicit use of drugs (17,000)
Additionally, it says this (my emphasis): "CDC supports public health surveillance on alcohol-related conditions and alcohol use, particularly binge drinking; conducts and supports applied research to characterize the public health impact of alcohol misuse and to evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol control measures; and supports the building of state capacity to prevent excessive drinking."
ifitsfundoit said:As there's no chance of us reaching any level of agreement about the relative pros and cons, I'll leave you with a link to Medicalnewstoday.com that details the deaths in the US in 2000.
You'll be interested to note that ciggies and booze (THE LEGAL drugs) are the top killers.
Shit...they must be good for us then
