.....Against Tobacco That Is


Because no matter how you slice it, Big Tobacco is a real, honest to goddess Axis of Evil:

CBC July 10/06 Tobacco is on course to kill a billion people this century — 10 times the toll it exacted in the 20th century — if current trends continue, public health officials said Monday.

Worldwide, tobacco causes one in five cancer deaths, or 1.4 million deaths each year. An estimated 1.25 billion men and women around the globe smoke cigarettes.

The staggering statistics, detailed in the new Cancer Atlas and updated Tobacco Atlas, were released at the International Union Against Cancer conference in Washington, D.C., on Monday.

But then again, why should anyone believe the IUC.

After all it's literally filled with scientists and other well-known, card-carrying members of the reality-based community.
