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?

90+ percent of lung cancer in men is attributed to smoking... Seems like a pretty high percentage for something like cancer...
