@http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thLHLQezDEU Smoking kills half of those who smoke. About 100,000 people die in the UK each year due to smoking. Smokers die 10-15 years younger. Your heart beats 10-25 minutes faster then usual right after you light up a cigarette, which is 36,000 extra beats each day. This video I will show you is also a perfectly example of propaganda because this video shows how cigarettes are good. That it helps people relax.
