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.

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.
