In other news, it was related to this reporter, by an anonymous source, that free rock climbers are more likely to be killed by a fall from great heights than those who don't climb rocks.

"Among nearly 50,000 residents of rural Norway who were followed for 25 years, researchers found that 41 percent of men who continued to smoke heavily (at least one pack a day) died between 40 and 70 years of age compared with just 14 percent of men who never smoked."

So, this means 45 % of the rest lived to over 100, smoking a pack a day? that's not bad.

I think they spelled "Annals" wrong.

As long as there is any chance a deceased smoker's survivors can sue a tobacco company and win, it's news to someone.

Actually they do not die as often as the people they hit.
