Harold, The quotes are from 1995-1999 stats.
The big push to take the baby aspirin nonsense begun just about then.
I bet you 45,000 is closer to today's true numbers than 40,000.

NOTE: a correction:
Over the counter NSAIDS,including ASA[Acetylslicylic acid or aspirin and
other pain killers,account for 40,000 deaths each year.
My first figure of 45,000 was wrong ,my apologies.
