Its easy to figure out that cigarettes never killed anyone immediately or affected the food supply all over Europe even sheep in Wales for eg. And its not easy to figure out the casualties from Chernobyl either is it?

The best estimate indicates a current death toll of around 80 total for Chernobyl. I based the smoking comparison on a much higher one of about 15,000
