Both are responsible for a lot of deaths. Neither one causes death directly, but rather they both leave you open to die from a cause you might not otherwise have died from. One is AIDS The other is smoking. Last year, smoking killed 100 times as many people as AIDS. Smoking, however, can be treated and cured. If you smoke, quit. Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner "...
