Just because there are other potential health issues out of our control (to some degree only, one can always move away to a healthier location), doesn't mean one should go out and intentionally harm themselves. Don't get me wrong, I smoked for many years, but knowing I was adding to the chances of cancer, etc.
The fact still remains on the percentages as shown by the OP, it's not like they isolated all the study participants from every other harmful environment. If you smoke your chances are that much greater...
I quit smoking to be healthier. I also moved away from Vancouver to (among other things) reduce stress and get away from pollution. Lots of things are within ones control.
