Here are the annual death figures used in the graph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Cigarette Smoking<\/strong>: 480,000 deaths per year<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Alcohol<\/strong>: 140,000 deaths per year<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Guns<\/strong>: 48,000 deaths per year<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Obesity + Heart Disease<\/strong>: 892,000 deaths per year (190,000 from obesity-related causes + 702,000 from heart disease)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These statistics highlight the significant impact of smoking and lifestyle-related health issues, such as obesity and heart disease, on public health in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Watch the thank you for smoking film, if you think about the merchants of death, cigarettes \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 so cigarettes kill half annoying people year, and guns are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153only 48,000 a year, yet type two diabetes, obesity, being over fat, sugar \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the evil Coca-Cola corporation, kills maybe 702,000 people a year\u00e2\u20ac\u201d nearly 1,000,000 people a year. And this is why you should not trust Warren Buffett; he is an old fat feeble man, maybe 70% body fat, who I think still drinks Coca-Cola, and invested and maybe still invest in Coca-Cola corporation, which literally may be the single most expensive thing to the American taxpayer. I think it is OK for people to be obese, get type two diabetes or type three diabetes (Alzheimer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s disease)\u00e2\u20ac\u201d but the issue is one day end up in the hospital, and maybe they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re uninsured or something, and they need to get an emergency surgery for a heart attack or something, yes, sugar causes heart disease<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d and that causes a huge strain on the medical system and the average American taxpayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But still, in the day today, I am still committed to being on anti-smoking rampage. I actually have a vision to: if I were mayor of Culver City, I would make a law to make it up 100% non-smoking zone, this includes vaporizers \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the big issue is that when people blow their vape smoke into air, and that fake nicotine peach melting, it actually might be more concentrated than cigarettes, which also gives me a headache if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m down wind of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
