Europe's smoking rates are so high (something ilke 700,00 bodies a year) compared to America that your tobacco deaths easily outnumber our gun+tobacco+alcohol deaths combined in America, yet you think you own some kind of moral high ground because you've mostly restricted the right to own firearms. <sigh>
It's obvious you aren't even pretending to be intellectually honest. I guess because this is about fooling yourself, not anyone else. You start with your 'conclusion' and just throw any old crap at the wall to try and bolster it in your own mind.
Leaving aside the massive complication of how one determines a death to be 'smoking-related' (which I suspect is likely decided differently in different health systems, hence, like comparisons of 'violent crime' it's tricky to compare between countries), and furthermore ignoring the critical fact that the EU is not a 'country' and in fact smoking rates (and the laws, rules, and taxes on smoking) vary hugely between EU countries, you are ignoring the different population sizes of the US and EU!
EU smoking deaths 700,000 p/a, population 512,647,966, so deaths per capita 0.00137
US smoking deaths 480,000 p/a, population 328,863,150, so deaths per capita 0.00146
So the actual
death rates per capita are close, with the US slightly worse.
That actually really surprises me, because the proportion of smokers is higher in most European countries than the US (14% in US, EU ranging from 11% to 38% with an average of 26%). So either there are indeed differences in what gets counted as a smoking-related-death, or there's something about the nature of smoking in the US that makes it unusually lethal (maybe those who do smoke, smoke more? Maybe they get worse health-care?)
If you are going to compare stats between things that aren't even countries, and doing so while ignoring population figures, can I compare the number of murders in, say, Cornwall with the number in the entire US (in absolute, non-population-proportional, terms) and hence conclude the US is a nightmarish land of mass killings?
