Canada's Minister of Health, Allan Rock, says there are 45,000 smoking related deaths every year in Canada. In the USA, the number is estimated at approximately 400,000. Over the years there has been much debate and argument over whether smoking is harmful. It has been scientifically established beyond a reasonable doubt that tobacco use is hazardous to a person's health. The only debatable issue is how we calculate the numbers of persons who become sick and debilitated or die every year as a result of tobacco use.
Every individual has the right and freedom to use tobacco products.
This follows from premises 1 to 3. Individuals have the right to do as they please as long as they don't harm or injure others. Third parties do not have the right to poison and kill individuals. Poisoning and killing others violates rights to security of the person as well as numerous sections of the Canadian Criminal Code. Tobacco companies poison and kill thousands of Canadians every year.
