	I'd like to talk about two diseases.  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.
