"Cigarettes remain the world's most effective weapon of mass destruction. In the United States alone, directly and indirectly, cigarette smoking kills more than 10 times as many people per year as highway crashes. Yet smoking's ravages would be much worse today [2004] had the dangers of the habit not been exposed 40 years ago."
