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!
I don't know what the death certificate says, but I do know he had a persistent minor cough for about a year. His doctor prescribed antibiotics because he though he had a cold or the flu..
He was finalized hospitalized because his lungs were filling with fluid...
He actually had a bad heart value which was progressively getting worse over time, letting fluid back into his lungs, by the time he was correctly diagnosed, it was too late and he was 92 yo and a replacement value wasn't in the works...
His lungs were clear of any cancer...
Basically his idiot doctor killed him...
