And COVID-19 has more illnesses and deaths in just 10 months than alcohol and smoking have in a year. Stop thinking about yourself and think of others. Is that to much to ask?
Another false statement!
According to the CDC
Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day. On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers.
