I was actually speaking in terms of how smoking affects your overall health long term, not just cancer.
Is is no case to be made that smoking is healthy or does not put you at a much larger risk of dying earlier of related diseases...
The smoking stats..
Smoking accounts for 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of lung cancer deaths; the risk of developing lung cancer is about 23 times higher in male smokers compared to non-smokers; smoking is associated with increased risk of at least 15 types of cancer; or that smoking causes millions of deaths worldwide.
That being said: My grandfather smoked for 80 years, mostly unfiltered, he died from a misdiagnosis... bad heart value..

So your saying he died because he smoked. I’m sure he was included in the stats “deaths caused from smoking”.
Just like everyone who has ever smoked is included in lung cancer deaths.
Just like anyone who has ever smoked is included in “death from heart disease.”
My F.I.L who hadn’t smoked in 25 years was diagnosed with bladder cancer. According to his Doctor, caused by smoking.
M.I.L whose mother died at age 92 “I knew those cigarettes would kill her one day!”
Smoking is certainly not good for you. But damn!
