Why can't we have common sense car regulations to prevent traffic fatalities caused by speeding?

You do realize we are just years away from self driving cars being a prominent part of society. The huge positive of a self driving car is the removal of human error which is the reason for just about every auto fatality.

Since 1964 over 2.5M people are estimated to have died from secondhand smoke.

That statistic contains so much bullshite that it's laughable. Name one non-smoker--anyone, anywhere--who died from secondhand exposure. Exhaled / ambient cigarette smoke is a olfactory annoyance, but a person would have to be locked into a sealed room with a smoker for many, many years--longer than the smoker would live--to remotely approach the levels of smoke an actual user ingests.

Not arguing that cigarettes aren't bad/harmful, etc. Just pointing out that the secondhand smoke argument is a bullshite narrative.

I hate these arguments. When was the last time tobacco killed 17 people who weren't using it?

From the article:

Almost 450,000 Americans die every year from smoking. About 50,000 of these are from second-hand smoke.
