in the year 2000..

438k died from smoking ( a little exaggerated if you ask me)
76k from alcohol

How many died from heart attacks due to alcohol. How many from car accidents, either self-inflicted death or killing someone else? Your numbers are incomplete.

How many died from lung cancer, heart disease, emphazima (sp?), complications with other breathing disorders, and so on. Not to mention those who will get those conditions and eventually die from 2nd hand.

Or lost pregancies and brain damaged children...

Not sure what your point is, but the facts are Tobacco use is right up there amongst the leading causes of death for both men and women. Also contributes to the most common cancer (Lung). 90% of lung cancer patients smoked. Some say obesity and heart disease is the number one. Well it's debateable and IMHO both are right up there! It's also said that a one pack a day smoker is like someone being 90 Lbs overweight health wise. Besides to keep this Z related. I rather be buying a 370Z than smoking a couple packs a day!

Just think of all that money smokers throw away...

Here some fun facts:
