If smokers have a 25% less chance of reaching 75 years old than non-smokers?

Can't verify the: Exact statistic. Sir richard peto, british epidemiologist asserted: those that smoke to and beyond age 35, have a 50% risk of dying of smoking related disease (lung destruction, heart and vascualr disease & stroke, and cancers) it is utterly foolhardy to smoke: expensive, smelly, and if used as directed, kils you.
