Smoking causes 480,000 deaths a year in the United States.
Wow, that's a lot of people!
Also, nine out of ten lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking.
I had no idea!
The risk of dying from smoking has increased in the last fifty years.
After hearing all of the health risks with smoking, I promise to never smoke again.
I am glad that you have decided to abstain from smoking.
Thank you for saving me from troubles later in life.
