      No there were only 30 acute deaths. About 50 since then from cancer in 30 years so far

      So far, It wasn't that long ago. Not many dead from smoking who took it up at the same time either.

      No it isn't. There was an acute rise in number of thyroid cancer cases among children and teens from Chernobyl - 5000 in immediately contaminated areas in young. Smoking cancers hit in old age.

      The thyroid cancers are well documented. Thus far about 40 people have died from them

      If we're going to include non-fatal issues, smoking causes COPD in most smokers, often requiring lifelong medication. It also causes literally hundreds of other issues

      And yes, there are many other issues. But, it is difficult to isolate smoking given the fact most elderly adults have smoked at some time in their life and often non filtered high tar cigarettes. Yet are still living longer.

      No, it isn't. YOU have made factually incorrect statements. COPD does NOT occur in most smokers that is false.pic.twitter.com/Bo47EAXrqj

      "It is difficult to isolate smoking" - wrong "Most older adults smoke/have smoked" - wrong "Live longer" - wrong

          It is difficult because never smokers and smokers for a few years in youth is diffcult to calculate. . Most adults older HAVE Smoked at some point in their lives. Older people live longer than ever atm and that includes a high % of smokers. It is not wrong.

          An 80 year old now (rough est life expectancy)would have been born 1939. % of adult smoking in 1950s was high. Even by 1974 when we actually have stats it was 52% men and 45% women and we KNEW the health risks then

          Now heres the figure problems. That is actual smokers. The number of never smokers of that age is quite low; though difficult to ascertain. Many quit obviously. Yet that generation born 1930s, smoking likely higher than 70s, is living longer than any other.
