Ever watch the California State anti-smoking spots on TV? 90% of the people shown are suffering from some disease related to diabetes but somehow smoking or even second hand smoking is blamed for their maladies.

Regardless of what traditional disease kills people, if one has ever smoked, statistically the officially recorded cause of death is "smoking." Even violent traffic deaths, murders, suicide, gang killings...
