These are the facts. They've been researched. They've been proven. They are free of opinion, propaganda, fillers, additives, preservatives, cancer-causing agents, and artificial sweeteners.

It's pure information about the tobacco industry and its products. It's what truth delivers. What you do with it is up to you.

1. Every 10 seconds, someone dies from using a tobacco product. 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi...
    
2. Tobacco companies make a product that kills 1,200 people every day. Yankee Stadium seats, what 57,545 or so? So that's about two-and-a-half months' worth of deaths right there - if you count the players.
    
3. The product they sell kills more people than AIDS, murder, suicide, fires, alcohol and all illegal drugs COMBINED.
    
4. About 3,000 people who made the choice not to smoke die every year in America from lung cancer they got while breathing in other people's smoke...
    
5. Tobacco companies spend over $30,000,000 per day on advertising. Per day. That means every day they could buy every person in the state of Rhode Island a full price movie ticket and still have about a half million bucks left over for popcorn.
    
6. 1 out of every 5 people who die in this country from anything at all can say that it was because of tobacco. Or they could say that, if they could still talk.
    
7. 70% of smokers say that they would like to quit. Since 2,000 new kids become regular smokers every day, 1,400 people every day start to do something that they ultimately wish they'd never done.
