Tobacco has killed half a million Ontario residents since 1950 — more than alcohol, drugs, car crashes and AIDS combined — and claims another every half hour, says a jarring new report.
Quote:
"To use an analogy, the death toll from tobacco in Ontario is equivalent to one fully loaded jumbo jet crashing every sixth day, without any survivors."
Which begs the question ... if smoking on airliners caused one to crash every week, on average, how long would it take to make smoking on airliners illegal?
