Amazing statistic I learned

I was watching Charlie Rose the other night and they had a panel discussion on with a group of oncology specialists from around the country (and a British doctor as well).

One of the oncologists said that if tobacco was eliminated in our society, then cancer deaths would drop 30%.

That may sound unimpressive to some, but if you know folks who have battled cancer (and if you are over the age of 40 you have) then that figure looms much larger.

There has never been a better time to quit smoking.
