Yes, cigarettes can save lives, too!

“1944- Sgt. Thomas Hill driving down a street in Granville, France, behind a bullet hole in the windshield of his command car. Hole was made by a German sniper’s bullet while Hill was behind the wheel. Hill would have been killed had he not just bent over to light a cigarette.”
