Every year more than 20,000 adults die from smoking attributable illnesses here in the Lone Star State.
Deaths attributed to smoking surpass those from AIDS, alcohol, cocaine and even car accidents, and with "World No Tobacco Day", just around the corner on May 31st, local doctors, like Dr. Reynaldo Godines, want the public to know the dangers of smoking saying “everyone who is smoking tobacco products it shortens their quality of life, it also reduces their quality of life considerably."
Woman smokers are more likely to die of stroke and heart attack.
It's important to note most insurance providers cover tobacco cessation and behavioral intervention.

We all know smoking causes cancer, and eating McDonalds daily will cause obesity, and drinking will lead to liver failure. But this is all due to some white anglo chic in Conn. winning a case against the tobacco companies for 8million.. claiming she didn't know smoking causes cancer, apparently she smoked for 24yrs. she is in her 50s now.. PLEASE! And Hooters is getting sued because fat people are discriminated against.. what is going on with these damn gringos!?!
