I have a good idea.

Just tell everyone it's the same amount of people who die from smoking EVERY YEAR in the USA.

Then continue to justify how I can still buy cigarettes on almost every street corner in America.

I mean, if it truly is an "overwhelming loss" that is

I, personally, don't see the similarity here. The smoker is asking for it...because he readily admits that his smoking habit will eventually kill him. He can hardly call himself a "victim" of the disease which will prematurely end his life. In fact...his death could be called a "slow suicide". The same cannot be said about the coronavirus sufferer. One death is a tragedy, while the other is not...IMO.

Who can help the person who doesn't want to help himself?
