Poverty is no doubt the biggest killer. But the issue with smoking, for me, is the impact it can have on others, not on the individual partaking. It may be just one in a range of life limiting factors but it is one we know about and can relatively easily address, in terms of passive smoking. We can and should be doing something about it on that basis. Addressing poverty and disadvantage is a far biggger issue but one I'm happy to join you in fighting.
