Even though statistics state tobacco claims the lives of 6 million people every year, Mike Pence chose not to believe the numbers. In 2000, Congress discussed of the possibility of allowing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the sale of tobacco products.

On his campaign website, he stated that two out of every three people who smoke do not die from an illness related to smoking and that nine out of ten people who smoke do not develop lung cancer. His claim raised eyebrows with several people disputing his statistics to be false.
