You are <i>vastly</i> more likely to die in a car crash than from a non-abused prescription drug.  Furthermore, small cars are <i>significantly</i> more deadly than large ones and trucks.  Car companies obscure this by comparing cars to ones &quot;in their class&quot;, thereby misleading the consumer into thinking that their high-scoring small car is about as safe as it gets.<p>(I am putting aside opiate abuse, since illegal use is a different thing and opiates aren&#x27;t advertised  anyway.  But this wouldn&#x27;t much hurt my argument, since the deaths from cars are very comparable to opiate abuse, so one still can&#x27;t argue that drugs are more dangerous than cars.)
