It has been known for many years, that smokers have far less Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

Alzheimer's is now the 2nd leading cause of death in the USA replaceing Lung cancer in the past few years. Don't expect to hear much about this fact on the main stream news media or from a government agency. It typically takes years for our government leaders, agencies  and non-profits to catch up on facts particularly when they don't say what those in control want them to say. 
In many instances - literally decades if ever. 

 

Notice in the chart below, these big users of tobacco have a fraction of premature deaths from AD and PD compared to  U.S. citizens.

 

Note that Russia smokes by far the most, with the least deaths from AD, and no deaths from PD,  the worst outcome from these illnesses.  

Notice the last country, Belgium, uses the least tobacco with the highest deaths from both AD & PD.
Just bad luck? - Give me a break

 

In this chart, I threw in the top five U.S. cancer causes of premature deaths. Notice in all cancer categories with only one acception (Colon cancer) , these countries "averaged" all enjoy less premature deaths from these cancers, and all smoke like trains compared to the U.S. population. Just a fluke? That's rediculous.

 

Interesting - Hungary smokes almost half as much as Russia, but has an unusually  high death rate from Lung cancer, Colon and Pancreatic cancer. Who knows why? It would hardly make sense to blame it on tobacco.

State	AD	PD	Smoker %	Lung	Breast	Prostate	Colon	Pancreas

California, the liberal nanny state was an early major leader in the anti-tobacco war with high taxes and bans on smoking in bars, restaurants etc.  This state has about the lowest number of smokers in the country at 11.70% of the population. Compare the numbers to the big smokers in the world. In fact, compare the numbers to the overall U.S. average. Note the very high AD deaths compared to the big smoking countries. California even has an approximate 68+% increase in PD deaths than the U.S. national average.

Four of the five top cancer deaths are higher than the U.S. national average.

ALL premature deaths are considerably higher in California than in all the big smoking countries listed with only one exception (colon cancer).

California enjoys a whopping  255% increase in AD deaths than the average of all 14 countries listed that smoke like trains in comparison.  And again, Alzheimer's (AD) is now the second leading cause of death in the USA.

 

But wait - Let's not leave out the number one killer in the U.S., and most countries throughout  the world, coronary heart disease (CHD). Over half, (8) of these big smoking countries all closest in developement to the U.S. shown in the first chart above, enjoy a whopping 47+% less premature deaths from CHD than the U.S. population. The other six are very poor countries. Poor countries, communist and former communist countries such as Russia, China etc., always have a high rate of CHD. Poverty, food supply, poor medical care etc. Who knows? To believe it's because of tobacco would make no since when compared to all the other big tobacco users.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A little more fun with actual facts as apposed to never ending lies, myths  and big money bullshit.$

 

The averaged percentage of smokers in the 14 countries listed is approximately 92% higher than the U.S. average.

Over half, (8) of these fourteen countries averaged  have a life expectancy from birth of 82.15 years. That's 2.85 years longer than U.S. citizens. The overall averaged life expectancy of all fourteen countries is 79.16 years. U.S. is 79.30 years. No practical  difference.

 

The averaged GDP of these fourteen countries is approximately 47% less than the U.S. It is a fact, that lower income populations "generally" have a higher percentage of tobacco users. But again, over half these countries with a much higher percentage of tobacco users than the U.S. population has a life span of 2.85 years longer and far better health in all categories.

 

For those living in the real world,  I am finding it more difficult everyday to believe that from the beginning of the anti-tobacco movement, that there were not people who knew that if people gave up tobacco, there would be a lot of money to be made.

Big Medical, Big Pharma, countless non-profit cancer & heart associations and institutions, million dollar anti-smoking non-profits, the media selling drugs non-stop, government agencies etc. etc. Facts are facts. Numbers don't lie - only people and mega big money corporations, governments and countless industries lie for profit and have since the beginning.
And they have definitely been profiting into the hundreds of billions of dollars since the anti-tobacco propaganda began.$ 

 

Take a look around. Millions have replaced tobacco with more and more food, of course of the dangerous processed worthless low fat type. We now have an epidemic of over-weight and obesity, but most people are proud they've  finally given  up that nasty tobacco habit,  and thinking their saving themselves from cancer or whatever. It looks like nothing could be further from the truth.
We now have more diabetics than at anytime in history.$ We now have more people being treated for heart disease risk, hypertension, cholesterol, allergies, skin irritations and the list goes on and on.$ 

 

We now have the shortest life expectancy from birth in the developed world, and the shortest number of healthy productive years lived before most begin popping pills they've been convinced  they need to stay alive.  We use more prescription drugs and spend more money on health care (sick care) per capita than any developed country on the planet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found something I thought interesting. An old CDC chart  that shows various cancer rates from the 1930 to 2000. I chose to look at Lung cancer in 1940 when a very large percentage of the male population smoked. Watching  old black & white movies from the thirties and fourties, it seemed that just about everyone was smoking. In those days, it's doubtful that anyone new what a low tar and nicotine filtered cigarette was, and studies consistantly have shown for many years that filters reduce the chance of lung cancer or whatever by a considerable amount.  In the fourties, in the UK and the US, at times apparently as much as 75% or more of men smoked.

 

This chart shows the Lung cancer  death rate in 1940 was 11.6 per 100,000. Today with a small fraction of the people smoking, it is 35.04 per 100,000.  In mid 1960, our surgeon generals first report on the dangers of tobacco was released. Many if not most people did not begin to smoke and many began to give up the habit. In 1980, at least fifteen years later, the lung cancer deaths are shown at 85.3 per 100,000. Ten years later, In 1990, the death rate is shown at 91.1 deaths per 100,000.

In the year 2000, it appears to be declining. One might wonder, is there something else that has to do with lung cancer?

A little more fun facts. I did a little research and put together a chart showing six major developed countries that as usual eventually begin following  the lead of the USA. The G7  countries listed in the chart below including the U.S. for comparison from 2011 to 2014.  They've all done a great job at reducing the number of smokers through high taxes and bans on smoking just like the good old USA to reduce deaths from Lung cancer and whatever.?

 

First of all, note that all these countries have a much higher percentage of a smoking population compared to the U.S. They all have a longer life expectancy from birth, and a longer number of healthy years lived.

 

Notice they have all reduced their use of tobacco from 2011 to 2014 with only one exception, France. All had an increase in Lung cancer deaths. Italy has a totally insignificant reduction. Could even be a math error? The U.K. leads the pack in the reduction of smoking, with a slight increase in Lung cancer deaths.

 

Most important is that the U.S. smokes considerably less, with more Lung cancer deaths, and a much shorter life expectancy and healthy life years lived. Isn't that great?

Is anti-tobacco one of the biggest scams or money making distractions in world history?$

 

Is it similar to the war on saturated fat & cholesterol that has made Americans the most over-weight, obese, sickest and drug dependant major advanced industrialized nation in the world?$

 

Think about it
