Your citation says nothing about 340,000 deaths related to ETS. Where does that 340,000 figure come from? I've never seen it before.

all causes - 418,690 - in a table immediately after a statement about ETS.
Lung cancer from smoking, stated specifically, 116,920.

301,770 - the result of subtracting 116,920 from 418,690.
I'm off by 38,230 working from memory, sue me.
