So up from 0.088% to 0.190%... a HUGE percentage of the population! No wonder smoking is attacked so much.
You forget that Passive smoking kills 600,000 a year which sounds a lot, but that figure is worldwide, so it's out of 6,000,000,000..

Compare that to 3,000 deaths as a result of car accidents just in the UK.
