    Default More smoking deaths among coloureds



    The highest number of smoking-related deaths in South Africa by race are in the coloured community, a new study has found.

    "The analysis of nearly half-a-million death records found the highest tobacco-related mortality was in the coloured population group," the SA Medical Research Council (MRC) said on Friday.

    "In this group, smoking causes one in four of all deaths in middle-aged men and one in six of all deaths in middle-aged women."

    She's also still alive. Barely.

    Maybe it's cause there are fewer white student, but at my campus - [at least] 7/10 coloured students smoke.
    In my class alone, at least half are smokers. Only myself and a few others don't bother with cancer sticks.
