The rest of them had to put up with second hand smoke. Same as smoking.Lung cancer and emphysema shorten life spans.
Sure, unfortunately for the hysterical anti-smoking clique though only about 40% of lung cancer patients smoked.
It is interesting how we forget how many other things are also responsible for lung cancer.
If I remember right, radon gas is responsible for the second greatest amount of lung cancers, yet this is rarely mentioned in nightly PSA's.
Smoking accounts for 87% of lung cancers....what percent is due to radon exposure?
How many of those 87% had every home they lived in tested for radon? Of course that number is close to zero.
Without that critical information, mine would be only a guess, but also, without that information, so is the 87% number
Every one of them has been tested for both radon and termites
