45. According to the American Cancer Society, 90 percent of new smokers are children and teenagers>Link>

"snip...Diseases caused by smoking kill more than 437,900 people in the United States each year. Even with anti-smoking campaigns and medical disclaimers in place, many people continue to smoke or start smoking every year. According to the American Cancer Society, 90 percent of new smokers are children and teenagers, in many cases, replacing the smokers who quit or died prematurely from a smoking-related disease...snip"

Soooooo....437,900 dead smoker people, divide by 365 days, ='s... 1,199.726 dead people, round off.. 1,200 dead smokers, 90% were children when adducted, that's 1200 X 0.90=1080 of the daily dead smokers addicted as children, 1/2 of the 1080 were 12 yrs old or younger=540.. mean age of child addiction is 13 years old.. that means 1/2 were addicted at 12 years old or younger.. thus 540

what part of the Tobacco industry is dependant on targeting and addicting children to stay in business don't you understand.?
is that not PURE EVIL..??
