did you know that (or do you dispute this):
half (45 percent) of all smoking-related deaths occur at age 75 or higher. The odds of a life-long smoker dying prematurely of a smoking-related disease, then, are about 12 to 1.
Controlling for “confounding factors”—such as the fact that smokers tend to exercise less, drink more, and accept high-risk jobs—reduces the estimated number of deaths by about half again. Instead of 400,000 smoking-related deaths a year, a more realistic estimate is around 100,000.

No, I don't believe 100% of anything anyone (government or not) tells me. And I also don't dispute your findings, My Mother is and has been a smoker for decades, she's 74 and still going strong and I know several people older than her that smoke, a couple that are in their late 90's.

I`ll assume that you are a smoker,but I was at the hospital when my brother died of emphysema at age 60. It was a horror since he had a breathing apparatus attached to him right up to the end.

i know the governmet doesnt lie, they just stretch the truth and try to tell you certain things to make you afraid to make you trust them. However they can not be trusted. Look at all the things that have went on right behind our backs. Crap, you cant even trust the government to protect you or save you from natural disasters like hurricanes and things like that

I couldn't care less about the numbers, real or make believe. As long as you smoke in your own private place, and don't pollute MY air supply, have at it.
