101. You really believe that cig. smoking does NOT kill? WTF?
There is about as much evidence that smoking kills as there is to proving evolution as fact. It's science.

Are you really denying science? :wtf:

Start here:

What about this...

There's no way around it. Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body. Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. It is also responsible for many other cancers and health problems. These include lung disease, heart and blood vessel disease, stroke and cataracts. Women who smoke have a greater chance of certain pregnancy problems or having a baby die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Your smoke is also bad for other people - they breathe in your smoke secondhand and can get many of the same problems as smokers do.

People die of different things all the time, but when science shows that one thing killed a large segment of a population that usually means it's worth paying attention to.

You are the first person I have ever seen who does not believe that cig. smoking kills. I know tobacco execs say they believe it, but I figured they said it because it was their job.

Never anyone who really believed it.
