Add car repair and new front porch to the true costs of smoking

Cancer, emphysema, stroke, forest fires, and now this:

From the Oregonian: 5/25/09:

“Man drops cigarette, crashes car”
Christopher Clawson dropped his cigarette in his lap Sunday evening while driving his car south on 206th Avenue in Aloha.
Clawson, 19, told a Washington County sheriff’s deputy that he was trying to pick it up when he lost control of his car and crashed into the front porch of a house on Sister Lane.
Neither he nor anyone at the house was injured. Clawson was cited for careless driving.

Now that’s careless. Lucky though no one got injured.

Wow. This is classy stuff. Thankfully, Congress finally passed a long-overdue bill to regulate tobacco. Wooo!

Another step on the road to improved population health.
