These are in fact all random names, produced by  “FAKE IDENTITY GENERATOR“.  I apologise for any inadvertent resemblance to any real Canadians. This list is intended only to illustrate that the 101 Canadians who die every day from tobacco smoking are real people. Physicians rarely write “Tobacco” as a cause of death on a death certificate, so it is impossible to track down and name the specific people that are killed by tobacco. Because we do not know the individuals who die, who they were and who they leave behind, we accept this death rate from tobacco. If 101 Canadians had died in a plane crash, a terrorist attack, or a highway pile-up it would make the news, we would learn the names of all the victims and their loved ones would have an opportunity to express their grief and anger publically. The deaths of smokers go unreported, and  tolerated as normal, routine and acceptable.
