How many people do you think have died because of heart condition or other ailments caused by over consumption of sugar? How much has the obesity epidemic cost this country? How many people have died because of drunk driving or other incidents where people were intoxicated?

A very small percentage of our population smokes today. Most are adults. Little kids consume far too much sugar and most people drink.

You're probably right. There's no comparison. Wine, beer cookies and ice cream have probably done a lot more damage then cigarettes.
