Sure, we all know that smoking is bad for us and anyone else that may be in the same room
but did you know these facts?
Cigarette smoke emits nearly 8 billion kilograms of greenhouse gases annually.
More than 500,00 acres of forests a year, are destroyed by tobacco farmers.
If food was grown instead of tobacco, 70% of the 28 million malnourished people could be fed.
(It doesn't say in the article) but how many more trees are felled for the paper mailers
and coupons sent? The industry spends $400 per customer on these direct marketing (paper)
schemes.
