Through the years, we've constantly heard things like the following

Typically when a billion dollar tax exempt non-profit cancer organization needs to increase revenue.

#1 - One third of lung cancer deaths are from smokers. Few people today question or bother to think and evaluate. If one third of these cancer deaths were actually from smokers, and tobacco was the  actual cause, doesn't that mean that twice the number of lung cancer deaths,  two thirds, are people who don't smoke? The total number of lung cancer deaths in the US in 2014 was 171,504.
If one third was of smokers, or  57,168, then 114,335 were non-smokers, and these non-smokers have not been breathing second hand smoke (SHS) for a couple of decades.

Then from other big money non-profits we here:

#2 - Smoking causes at least 30,000 lung cancer deaths annually. Let's look at facts. In 2014, we had approximately 17.25%  of the US population averaged between male and females that were smokers, or about 55,326,000 people. If 30,000 lung cancer deaths were smokers, that would be  0.054% of the total number of smokers. Put another way, that would be 99.946% of smokers that would not die from lung cancer. No reasonable person could consider this a realistic risk. There are likely higher risks in just about anything a human being does daily living a normal life, or perhaps a better chance of choking to death on an ice cube.   

#3 - Lung cancer deaths among smokers kills more than all traffic accidents, suicides and murders put together. Think about that for a moment. It's very scary, but what does it really mean. How many accidents, suicides and murders were there? What's the size of the population? How many cancer victims were there? How many smokers were there? And above all, where are the studies and death certificates showing tobacco as the actual  cause of death? And, who paid for all this scary anti-smoking information? These are all important questions that should be answered. However, none of these questions are ever answered because no one ever asks. We've heard things like this quoted numerous times by countless major non-profit multi-billion dollar players in the anti-smoker movements followed of course with a request for a donation so they can continue to fight that absolutely fraudulent war on cancer. We now have a fraction of the people smoking, and we have a  trillion dollar cancer treatment industry that didn't exist when three to four times the number of people were using tobacco products. We also have a very long and growing list of medical problems apparently requiring prescription drug treatment most often for the rest of one's life. Yah, that's the ticket - trade your tobacco  for drugs and illness. And while your at it, make sure to continue to eat that low fat diet?

But just for fun, let's look at how many actually die from these three killers. The total number of deaths from traffic accidents, suicides and murders in 2014 was 94,204. So, with a total of 55,326,000 smokers in the country at this time, if the number of deaths from smoking was even double that, it would only be 0.340% of the total number of people smoking. You might stand a better chance of winning $5,000 with one dollar on a progressive slot machine than kicking the bucket from a tobacco product. Things really change when we put things into perspective rather than listening to the scary money makers. $$

#4 - One out of ten smokers will die from lung cancer
 Ending in 2014, there were 55,326,000 people smoking in the US as mentioned above. With ten percent of 55,326,000 smokers, we should have  5,532,600 dead smokers. As mentioned previously, all lung cancer deaths in the US in 2014 was 171,504. SO - even if 100% of all lung cancer deaths in 2014 were those of smokers, which is of course ridiculous, that would leave 5,361,096 smokers that should have kicked the bucket. $  Where are all the dead bodies?  Yes, facts and numbers change the whole perspective?

In fact, the total number of deaths from all  types of cancers, including lung cancer, that are generally tracked annually in the US and all other countries, in 2014 was only 485,448. This is about 0.148% of the entire US population, or 99.852% that did not die from cancer.

These cancers tracked are - Lung, Colon, Breast, Pancrease, Prostate, Liver, Bladder, Oesophagus, Ovary, Skin, Stomach, Oral, Uterin,  Cervical, Leukemia and Lymphomas.

Population - More fun with facts
In the first half of the 20th century, at times as much as 75 to 80% of males were users of tobacco. In the UK, it was often even higher. For this example, we'll not include female smokers, and quite a few smoked at this time in history.
In 1940, there were approximately 63,000,000 males in the US population. If 80% smoked, that would be 50,400,000. If 10% died from lung cancer, we would have lost 5,040,000 males. Common sense begs the question. How could our population be what it is today?
It couldn't. If we include the endless list of other deaths we are told that are caused by tobacco, such as coronary heart disease, lung disease, bladder cancer and the list goes on and on, and we threw in female smokers, natural deaths, wars,  accidence etc., NO reasonable person could think for a minute that our population could be what it is today.
That's just crazy.

At present, approximately 34% of the world's population of just over  seven billion people are using tobacco products, or about 238,000,000. If 10% died of lung cancer as we constantly here from those on the money side of the issue, that would be a loss of 23,800,000 annually. If we threw in all these other causes of death, we surely would not have a world population problem.

As always, the numbers that are constantly thrown out to the brainwashed and gullible general public are simply numbers that have absolutely no meaning what-so-ever. They are  estimates picked from the polluted air and generated by computer models and highly paid anti-tobacco scientists, government agencies and wealthy tax exempt non-profit organizations, never offering any proof or legitimacy. NEVER
They don't because none exists. If the actual truth was known, people might be smoking once again like trains, and those in control simply cannot allow this to happen. There is far too much money involved, not to mention, a lot of big money entities including governments would have a lot of explaining to do. Actually, they have nothing to worry about, because in modern times, few people ever question anything. There is not an hour that passes 24/7,  where we the people are not lied to by a government agency, a talking head,  a wealthy non-profit organization, and the list goes on and on. $  It's all about money, control and dependency.$

The big problem

Most people today simply trust and live by what they constantly hear from those they perceive as authority. Where all the big scary numbers about tobacco and diet come from today, and have from the beginning, are from those on the money side of the issue.
It has always been this way.

The pharmaceutical and medical industry want everyone to stop smoking. Big Pharma pays out millions for studies to prove tobacco is killing the people. They have taken in billions on smoking cessation drugs and have since the 1970's. When people finally succeed in quitting, a large percentage began to need drug treatment for just about anything one could imagine.  Big Medical, Big Pharma and countless connected industries love it in more ways than one could think of.

The billion dollar anti-smoking non-profits cartel's  love it.$ The multi-billion dollar tax exempt non-profit so called cancer and heart health research societies and institutions love it.$  The now billion dollar cancer treatment centers love it.$  The governments from state to federal levels in billions in collected taxes love it. $  The media loves it for the  millions of dollars taken in for advertising for all of the above and more.$ The non-profits continue to take in billions in tax free dollars for research to find a cure for cancer which is never ever going to happen or be allowed.  To think otherwise is not living in the real world.

It seems every six months or so we hear of possible breakthroughs in cancer research. Those on the money side of the issue rake in millions in donations, investments and grant money for  further studies and research. This has been going on for decades. Most people don't seem to notice that nothing ever comes of these alleged breakthroughs.
The cancer treatment industry continues to grow with now treatment centers all over the country that were once almost unheard of.

And again, our politicians from local to state and federal government love it for the billions they collect annually in super high tobacco taxes.

All in all, it's nothing but one humongous money machine in more ways than one could imagine.

All these numbers constantly quoted through the years are very scary to the average person and are repeated over and over again. Propaganda repeated constantly over many years is very powerful, and not only rakes in a lot of money, but has a major negative impact on health and the discovery of actual cancer cures and or prevention. It is nothing but one huge money making distraction and has been from the beginning.

We have a fraction of the number of people smoking today, and we have more people being treated for cancers and now numerous other medical problems than when far more people were smoking. Think about this, and look around. No need to be a rocket scientist. It's really hard to beat good old fashion empirical evidence.

We have generally, at least two thirds of the people in the 60's and older age group, particularly mid 60's and older,  most of which have long since given up the use of tobacco that are being treated for one thing or another with dangerous prescription drugs that never cure a problem, only manage or mask symptoms and weaken the natural immune system often causing more medical problems requiring further treatment. Think about it. When was the last time your doctor used the word  cure? Have you ever asked your doctor if the drug being prescribed will actually cure your alleged medical problem? The word  cure is not usually in a doctors vocabulary. They are not trained to  cure, only to treat. The word  cure is not generally found in most medical dictionaries with any meaningful description.  There is NO money in a healthy  population. $

Drugs:

If a person looked closely at the warning labels on the most commonly used prescription drugs being prescribed to millions of people today, no one in his or her right mind could think that a natural burning organic tobacco leaf could even be compared. Most of the actual published dangers of drugs being used by millions of people today could make a tobacco product look more like a fresh picked organic carrot. But, there is hundreds of billions of dollars in keeping people sick and on these drugs.

Big Medical:

According to an independent study by Dr. Gary Nulls MD, in  2003, deaths from medical errors, unnecessary procedures and adverse drug reactions totaled  241,136. These deaths of course are only those known of or reported. Don't even try to guess the real numbers.
The actual total number of deaths related to overall bad medical care was  783,000.
And, don't try to guess what the actual number would be in  2014. By all accounts, it's far higher.

Over-weight / Obesity

We in the USA have the highest percentage of over-weight and obesity in the developed world, and contrary to what many think, there exists a definite connection to the decline in tobacco use. Actually, any honest observant person should be able to see this. We now have the highest death rate from heart disease (CHD), lung cancer, and now Alzheimer's Disease (AD), than most similarly developed countries in the world. We use more prescription drugs by far, and spend considerably more per capita on medical care. We have the shortest life expectancy from birth, and the shortest healthy productive life years lived than most developed countries on the planet, and we have the lowest percentage of tobacco users. Hello!
As tobacco use has declined, sickness and prescription drug treatment has increased almost proportionately.   

We began to see less progress in life expectancy in the early 1970's. The late 1960's is when many US citizens began to give up the smoking habit or didn't start. We now have a life expectancy of approximately 3.40 years less than the developed G7 countries shown in the chart below. That's a lot of years

Take a look around. Almost  two thirds of people today in their mid to late 60's and older are over weight or obese and on drugs for a long list of apparent medical problems. They are always sick. At least 90% of them have long since given up that smoking habit.
