Or at least it was for me. I am working on quitting smoking again. Part of this process for me has been doing some research on smoking and its effects. I was immediately shocked by what I discovered. I started compiling figures and doing comparisons, such as:

If you took the number of current smokers in the US and said that each one only smoked two cigarettes (I know, I know), and then laid the total number of smokes that would be consumed end to end, you'd end up with a line 29 million feet long (or 80,556 football fields in length).

From just one day, with all the smokers only puffing on two a day!

There's several more interesting factoids (including one that involves Mt Everest), as well as some scary ones in Smoking Facts Every Smoker Should Know over at my The Scott English Show blog. And feel free to pimp it, or pass it along to someone who might be thinking about quitting.
