Its tobacco usage, according to FDA
In fact, tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States,1 leading to more than 480,000 deaths each year. Of which approximately 40,000 are secondhand smoke casualties. This outpaces COVID deaths.
From the CDC
Worldwide, tobacco use causes nearly 6 million deaths per year, and current trends show that tobacco use will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030
And from the WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that each year tobacco causes about 6 million deaths (about 10% of all deaths) with 600,000 of these occurring in non-smokers due to secondhand smoke. In the 20th century tobacco is estimated to have caused 100 million deaths.
So, in the last 2 yrs. in the US we have lost approximately 700k to covid and so many people are outraged about the unvaccinated, yet we have lost over 900K to tobacco usage and not a peep. Well here is why I think it is. This is from the CDC and Duke university
Smoking is directly correlated with income level and years of education. Since the release of the first Surgeon General’s Report on smoking in 1964, smoking has become ever more concentrated among populations with lower incomes and fewer years of education. In the past, the highest income Americans smoked at levels even greater than the poorest; now they smoke at almost half the rate of those with the lowest income. · 21.4 percent of adults with a household income less than $35,000 smoke, compared to 11.4 percent of adults with a household income between $75,000 and $100,000, and 7.1 percent of those with a household income of $100,000 or more. 7 · 24.9 percent of Medicaid enrollees* and 22.5 percent of uninsured individuals smoke, compared to 10.7 percent with private insurance coverage. 8 · Among adults 25 and older, 21.6 percent who do not graduate from high school smoke and 35.3 percent with a GED smoke, compared to just 6.9 percent of those with a college education and 4.0 percent of those with a graduate degree.9 From 2002 to 2016, smoking rates declined among all educational levels, but the percentage of smoking decline for those with a college degree or higher was 2.6 times larger than those with a high school diploma and 1.5 times larger than those who had not obtained a high school diploma.10
The US doesn’t give a dam about certain groups of people, you can’t deny it as they say numbers don’t lie. Or is it because politicians are bought and paid for by big business, sad but it’s probably both.
So, for those of you who are so adamant about people getting vaccinated how about getting on your high horse and look out for the #1 100% preventable killer with no question about how to prevent the deaths of close to 8million people worldwide every year.
Have a nice day
