In the United States, smoking is responsible for about one in five deaths annually (i.e., about 443,000 deaths per year, and an estimated 49,000 of these smoking-related deaths are the result of secondhand smoke exposure).
In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 motor vehicle crashes in the United States, killing 32,885 and injuring 2,239,000
That is 466885 deaths per year for just those 2 factors, does 467885 sound much worse? Out of the 7,000,000,000 people does this (or the smokers/bad drivers) even make a difference?
How many of the 1000 are smokers, bad drivers, alcoholics, drug addicts, abusive, mentally unstable, or just plain rude? Just what are you saving in the end? How will this look to the rest of the world if you chose yes or if you chose no?
I need more time to think about it before I decide.
