About 21 percent of adult women in Maine smoke, compared to the national average of 20.7 percent, leading to a high incidence of tobacco-related illnesses in the state. For example, the prevalence of lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer of women, was 48.3 deaths per 100,000 women, the 47th worst in the country.Maine has virtually the same percentage of smokers as the nation yet it ranks 47th worst ? Must be a typo somewhere.

"Must be a typo somewhere."
Nope, just more warping of information to vilify a certain segment of our society! Of course that is something you endorse!
