Alcohol certainly is, with a few exceptions, bad for your health.
However sadly cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the world.
There are estimates that over 1,000,000,000 people will die from cigarette related causes in the 21st century. Far more than alcohol.
At present, tobacco kills some 6 million people a year, more than AIDS, malaria, and traffic accidents combined. Half of all life-long smokers will die from their habit. Every cigarette deletes seven minutes from a smoker’s life.
So while we can all complain about alcohol being a killer, let's not forget what is REALLY killing people in Qatar, and all over the world.
