You do understand that actually very few smokers get “ cancer, cardiac, etc” right?

No. In fact, most smokers will die significantly earlier from tobacco related illnesses.

You really need to take a closer look at ALL the studies done.

According to these studies, taken enmasse, about 30% of smokers get ANY illness related to smoking.
Of those 30%, about 30% of them get a life threatening illness. Note: not a life ending, but life threatening illness.
Of that 30%, we are now down to 10% that get a life threatening illness, about 30% of them die of a smoking related illness.

So, if you follow the studies about 3% of smokers die of a smoking related illness.
