We assumed, for lung cancer, that the death rates for nonsmokers have not changed and, for other smoking-related diseases, that the risks of death for smokers relative to those for nonsmokers have not changed since the 1950s. Probabilities that result from alternative assumptions were also investigated and are presented. As many as one-third of heavy smokers age 35 will die before age 85 of diseases caused by their smoking.

They found that nearly 29% of cancer deaths were because of smoking.

This is why smoking causes so many diseases, including at least 14 types of cancer, heart disease and various lung diseases.
