Here in Japan where I work, they have the highest ratio of adults who smoke in the world. Around 55 percent of adults smoke. They ask if my Dad was a smoker. I said he quit over 25 years ago along with drinking. He was leading a healthy lifestyle and still working at 77. He doesnt deserve it, nobody does. I eat a lot, a bit overweight but I dont deserve to get a heart attack. The bottom line is that its a disease that must get more attention. Sure smoking is not good for your health, but not all smokers get cancer.
Here in Japan, the goverment owns most of the tobacco stocks. So, they dont have strict lables. There warning label is " Smoking may be harmful to your health and to please observe proper smoking manners". Smoking is considered a manly thing to do here. I heard that cancer is on the rise here.
