That might not be the argument you're looking for, seeing as how heart disease kills more people than lung cancer...

Lol, isn't a Mustang heavier?

Boom.

Lolnope.

I was about to panic when I didn't see this comment at the very top of the list.

Agree so, so hard.

That's, uh, that's... something.
