It doesn't explain how it got the 440K figure, but I bet that it doesn't show up on the list because most of the deaths fall under other categories, such as cancer, because smoking isn't the disease it is the delivery mechanism.

Post #289,366 by Seamus 7/18/07 9:47:46 PM Reply	So, you are looking for the diagnostic criteria they use to determine when death due to heart problems is attributable to smoking? I think you are going to need to go to the medical journals for that information. Do you have any information that they do a bad job diagnosing heart problems caused by smoking or that they are jacking up the stats? Seamus
