Someone asked for statistics on the number of deaths caused by various 
drugs. Here is all I have.

 The 1988 National Institute on Drug Abuse Research Monograph Vol. #84
 (page 105) gave the following figures for deaths in the United States due
 to drug abuse:


                       Tobacco - 346,000
                       Alcohol - 125,000
                       Alcohol & Drugs - 4,000
                       Heroin/Morphine - 4,000
                       Cocaine - 2,000
                       Marijuana - 75
