- An American man who smokes is 21x more likely to die from lung cancer than one who doesn’t.
- But that isn’t the only health risk that’s elevated for smokers.
- Death from other cancers in the airways and digestive system are also 2–9x higher.
- The closer an organ is to smoke exposure, the higher the risk, though even the lowest increases still signal serious danger.
- Smoking is one of the most preventable causes of death because it raises risk across many diseases, not just in one part of the body.
