we learn that there are 1000 Americans killed by electric shocks every year. My goodnes that is a whopping 2% of those killed by smoking! Oh wait, that's based on deaths due to second hand smoke (estimate 40-60,000 per year), if we compare with smoking mortality proper, i.e. smokers, then that 1000 comes to 0.25% (of 400,000 a year).Perhaps you and your like can exert your energy where it could do more practical good? Just a thought.
LOL (and I told you not to make me do that!)
