I just used 5% because I've been hearing and reading death rates that are inconsistent; anything from less to 1%, to as much as 6%.
And I'm over 50, and I used to smoke almost a pack-a-day for almost three decades. Reduced down to about a pack a week a couple years ago, but my lungs are damaged, no question. So that one in twenty you're talking about? That's probably me.

Damn I’ll be 60 next month and I’ve smoked a pack and a half forever to say nothing of the many , many left handed ones lol . I reckon I am a dead man if I catch it, good thing is I live in middle of nowhere and have very little contact with people. My wife works in town at the courthouse , hope she doesn’t bring it home. damn thinking about the numbers and I am getting a little freaked out. Hopefully when I wake up in the morning, sober it will get back to not looking so bleak out lol
