I can't see if you're for or against my statement that smoking causes cancer in a tiny proportion of the population in the UK.

Passive smoking "causes" 600,000 worldwide deaths by cancer out of a world population of 600,000,000... therefore 0.1%.

3,000 deaths as a result of car accidents in the UK... how many die as a result of car accidents worldwide out of the 600,000,000?
