According to the NLRC In the US There were nearly 3,600 abortions per day in 2000, 151 per hour, one every 24 seconds. In 2000, more children died from abortion than Americans died in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars combined.

Smoking Deaths aadac.gov.ab.ca

Smoking is already a worldwide public health issue. About three million people die from tobacco-related diseases each year. Within 30 years the number of tobacco-related deaths will rise to about 10 million per year. This will make tobacco the number one cause of premature death in the world.

Smoking causes 20% of all deaths from cancer, heart disease and stroke in Canada. Over 45,000 people in this country die each year from smoking. About 3,400 of these are Albertans. One in five fire deaths in Canada and one in four in Alberta are due to fires started by smokers. Since 1991, tobacco-related deaths in Canada have increased by about 8%, reflecting the smoking patterns of the 1970s and 80s. Of these deaths, almost two-thirds were women. From 1985 to 1996 death from smoking among Canadian women rose by 77%. That�s because women�s rate of smoking kept climbing into the 1970s.

For what? I saw in some magazine like Time maybe a photo of a marine in Iraq smoking a cigarette. In the caption it said he was more likely to die from smoking than from combat.
