The editorial quotes a study from the Institute of Medicine that says that if we were to increase the national smoking age to 21, it would lead to, among other benefits: 20-30% less smoking among 15 to 17-year-olds 12% fewer smokers overall 249,000 fewer premature deaths, with 4.2 million fewer lost life years 286,000 fewer preterm births 4000 fewer cases of SIDS Thats pretty astounding
It is recommend that you eat no more than 3 servings of red meat per week
18% of all Cancer deaths are caused by Lung Cancer, with the next highest being Bowl Cancer at 9.4%
