Which means that 75% NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, so why not report it that way?!

Because the risk of COPD is much higher than was previously believed. That's the news-part of this.

Which means that 75% NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, so why not report it that way?! The other 75% get heart disease, cancer, and bad breath.

Yes, but 25% will DIE. In 'meat & potato' terms....1 IN 4 WILL DIE THAT SMOKE.

I don't smoke, never have. I don't who else does, that's a personal choice. But a 25% chance of a pretty crummy disease might bother me if were considering smoking. Sure, 75% chance of no lung disease, but I'm not sure what other risks I would take at 25% chance. If 25% of those who crossed the street were killed by cars, would you cross? If 25% of those who ate peanut butter sandwiches choked to death, would you choose another kind of sandwich?
Those odds don't sound too good when you are talking about a risk to your life. Then again, each of us gets to choose.

I just examined a smoker's lung in Anatomy this week. Very yucky, full of dark plaques, very hard to the touch compared to a healthy lung. Smoking is not good for anyone.

Good for you. Your interpretation (and mine) will never see the light of day,
The public brainwashing by the anti-smokers continues.
