I read a bumper sticker when I was about 12 years old. It was a time when people were making a big deal out of the hazard label being put on everything. I remember my dad making comments about it all the time.
Bumper sticker read: Living on this earth may be hazardous to your health.
To this day, I believe it.
I will find you... it's only a matter of time.

Highest Life Expectancy
1 Andorra 83.50 <-- dotsized country, doesn't count.
2 San Marino 81.53 <-- dotsized country, doesn't count.
3 Singapore 81.53
4 Japan 81.04 <--- 50% of men smoke
5 Switzerland 80.31
6 Sweden 80.30
7 Australia 80.26
8 Iceland 80.18 <---- high alcohol use
9 Canada 79.96 <--- bungholes
10 Italy 79.54
11 France 79.44 <- smoke everywhere, even in buildings
12 Monaco 79.42 <-- dotsized country, doesn't count.
13 Liechtenstein 79.40 <-- dotsized country, doesn't count.
14 Spain 79.37
15 Norway 79.25 <---- high alcohol use
And Norway, last I recall ... don't people in Norway consume a lot of alcohol?
I don't believe hardly any statistics the government or advocacy groups provide about anything except ones backed up by real statistics (drunk driving related deaths, seat belt related, not wearing a motorcyle helmet, etc.)
The truth of the matter is that 80 year-old people die every day from something and there has to be a "cause" ... but that doesn't mean they would live much longer is cause X is substituted for cause Y. Old people will still be dying.
If someone doesn't meet a violent death or have some genetic disease, they are probably going to live a long time.
I doubt marijuana is a signficant health risk. Who knows, maybe moderate use might even be good for someone in some way. Mild alcohol consumption actually increases alertness and concentration.
Humans are not wise enough to fully govern themselves. We don't know enough about everything and tend to have government propoganda telling us lies in one shape or form, particularly regarding high profile health issues.
Hotly contested public issues are the ones where the most untrue things enter public debate (on both sides of an issue) -- so it is difficult to know what to believe.

I quit all fast food for 6 months now. I went from 238lbs to 205. I can tie my shoes without having to get an oxygen mask. It's truly amazing how bad that crap is for you.
I will find you... it's only a matter of time.

I grew up in a very medical background and will tell you straight foreward-
Alchohol, Tobacco, Marijuana, or any other TOXIN you put in your body WILL hurt you.
People have different resiliances to different things, that DOESNT mean that suddenly it's ok or that you're protected.
People who drink take that risk, people who smoke take that risk, but all those things ARE and always will be POISONS.
I personally don't like doing things that step me closer to death."It's called being awesome, maybe you should try it." -Bank
