Topic	Are Smokers committing suicide if they die from it?
DistantMemory 10/08/17 7:57:59 PM #4:	Lokarin posted... If every terrorist in the world convinced one person each to take up smoking... they'd do more damage than the sum of all terrorism in human history. Not really, considering that smokers tend to die at an older age(granted, not as old as they otherwise would have gotten to, but still fairly old) while a large component of the tragedy in acts of terrorism are the deaths of people who are far too young to die. Not to come across as agist, but the death of a man who's just about to enter the workforce is more of a blow to society than the death of a man who is in retirement and is just taking social security checks at this point. <cite>DistantMemory posted [p:888062878] in Are Smoker...
