some context would help, perhaps in terms of:
potential slow agonising death from smoking induced cancer
vs
potential immediate death from crashing motorcycle

"Smoking cigarettes or motorcycles?"
obviously smoking. usually a slow painfull death, over a period of years, as opposed to a quick death at speed, with very little pain. |

"Cigs, I would say...
Guessing there are more lung cancer deaths than due to moto accidents."
What % of the worlds population smoke as opposed to ride motorbikes.
There is no safe way to smoke, you can ride a bike sensibly or recklessly.
Some folk can smoke 40+ a day and live well into their 90's and beyond, some young experienced riders die as a direct result of other's actions  |

For the sake of simplicity I would ask " What is most likely to kill you?" Statistically speaking. |

I've had one apprentice die in a car, age 19, passenger. One apprentice age 20 on a bike, none from smoking so far. Sister age 39 breast cancer didn't smoke. God damn these whiskey blues. |

I think I've already given you my answer on that one, basically I haven't got a clue til I'm dead 
Might as well be hovercraft horror or deep sea diving disaster.
How can you compare the two ? |

"Cigarettes, motorcycles are only dangerous in the wrong hands"
That doesn't make sense. What about crashing because of spilt diesel etc or someone knocking off the rider. Could be the best rider in the world but it still happens. |

I ride motorcycles and smoke... I'd much rather stop smoking than riding. The bike makes me feel alive, the smoke makes me feel lousy.
That aside, far more people die of smoking related illnesses than from motorcycling. |

Smoking cigarettes as its a fact you will damage your body in some way doing it. Motorcycles can be ridden safely for years and you come to no harm. |
