here's a real figure for you, unlike the fantasy ones you're thinking of

Un estudio del acad?mico, experto en temas ambientales, Lu?s Cifuentes, de la Universidad Cat?lica de Chile, efectuado el a?o 1999 estableci? que entre cuatro y 11 por ciento de la mortalidad registrada en Santiago puede atribuirse a la contaminaci?n ambiental

between 4 and 11% of ALL deaths in Santiago de Chile are thought to be caused by environmental pollution. Now, vehicles are estimated to cause 80% of that pollution. How much of that do you think is caused by smoking?
Now compare deaths thought to be caused by smoking. Estimated at 16,000 for ALL of Chile in 2006.

Simple maths for someone so good with numbers you'd think

        you must be a bit slow, because there's no way a smoker produces the same volume of fumes (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 26, 16:18:51
