Some answers I found on wikipedia:
>That doesn't count as thousands of excess deaths? If so, >then you are saying your opinion doesn't coincide with the >numbers you originally cited as evidence. > >Some questions for you (better at research than me): > >How many people in the US die of lung cancer each year?
Didn't find US, but it looked like ~100,000 per year in "developed countries" with 80+% being attributed to smoking. So fully 1 quarter of all people worldwide dying from lung cancer caused by smoking is from secondhand smoke?
>What are the estimates for people dieing of lung cancer from >being a smoker?
90+ percent of lung cancer in men is attributed to smoking... Seems like a pretty high percentage for something like cancer...
>From being exposed to secondhand smoke (25,000+)? > >Do those numbers add up? Make statistical sense?
