100% of the population will die. Even those who don't smoke.
2. shocking

Even warnings of being killed appearing on the packages still does not stop people lighting up-what?are these people crazy? It's the same mentality of driving under influence of alcohol. Don't they care that their families would lose them prematurely? To let ones children passively inhale is cruel and immoral. Add massive taxes on cigarettes and charge higher fees for health insurance for people who smoke
3. Nicotine and tobacco are not dangerous to smoke IF one

smokes tobacco without additives which is difficult to find but is worth the search and the cost. Dr. Bill Campbell Douglass II's booklet on tobacco shows all the health advantages of tobacco IF the additives are not a part of the tobacco. It is the toxic additives that cause cancer and are unhealthy, additives put into tobacco and cigarettes and cigars to prolong the shelf life. My great grandfather in Tennessee grew his own tobacco and rolled his own cigars and lived to be in his 90's and never got cancer.

You are right : We are all mortals, but you have to think about the way you want to live your 20 last years of your existence : Fit or sick. It is all up to you !

You are extremely deluded.... The Tobacco under all its forms is noxious.

As a somewhat heavy Cigar Smoker, I can tell you, that premium Cigars generally do not contain additives. However, I am well aware that there is enough Nicotine in one cigar to kill 1000 people (if concentrated). Smoking of any form is dangerous, expensive, and just plain stupid! That being said....I still love my Cigars!
