: Note: For numbers less than 1 out of 1,000 (such as 0.50 out of 1,000), it is clearer to recast them as “___ out of 10,000” (“5 out of 10,000,” for instance), because it allows you to use a whole number rather than a decimal.

: Note: Shaded portions mean that the chance is less than 1 out of 1,000. People who have never smoked are defined as those who do not smoke now and who have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Smokers are defined as people who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who currently smoke (any amount). COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The numbers in the All Causes Combined column do not represent row totals because they include many other causes of death in addition to the ones listed in the chart.
