The U.S. Surgeon General lists 21 deadly diseases that are caused by smoking. Now, a study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine points to more than a dozen other diseases that apparently add to the tobacco death toll.

Well, I had a 5 way bypass BEFORE I became a victim. Little doubt that I was a victim but a lot of evidence That told me I was dead meat very shortly. It worked in that I had quit many years before. Really was't that hard and do get relapses. The bypass corrected past damage before it killed me.
I hope Obama is added to the smoking death toll soon!
