Anti-Tobacco Measures Have Saved Eight Million Lives In The U.S. Since 1964
Fifty years ago, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Luther Terry issued the first Report on Smoking and Health, and for the first time ever, explained the toll that cigarettes take on our nation. In addition to saving lives, a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that national efforts to curb smoking rates have increased the life expectancy of men and women in the U.S. Unfortunately, almost a fifth of Americans still smoke cigarettes, and smoking rates are actually rising is in nations like India, China, and Bangladesh. Millions of lives have been saved in the U.S. because of anti-smoking measures, however we must continue these efforts to save millions more in our nation, and around the world.

These people won't be happy until we're all elbow to elbow.From space we'll look like a can of sardines.
and they know the number is 8 million how??? or are they just making it up to just to justify the money
just like Obama's claim that he saved millions of jobs! lmao what a joke these people are pulling numbers out of their @sses!
This is a crock and is nothing more than a way to justify a tax.
What they don't tell with these all these statistics is the large percentage of those who die from lung cancer the cancer was metastatic and not primary or the large percentage of those who have never smoked that develop it. The lungs as well as the liver are compromised in just about everyone to some extent being the nature of their function which is intake. Cancer cells 'look' for a compromised area to attach themselves to.
The foods we are now eating are what is causing cancer.
