Sept-Illes, idiot doctors and uranium mining.

The doctors of Sept-Iles, a city of 25,000 or so, have threatened to quit if uranium mining is permitted at a nearby uranium source.

I ask a simple question: Given that Sept-Iles has a death rate of approx. 34 people per year due to cigarette smoking[1], why haven't these concerned doctors resigned over the fact that tobacco is sold all around the Sept-Iles area?

45,000 Canadians per year die from smoking related causes - with Sept-Iles' population, that works out to approx. 34 people per year.
