The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It means your life expectancy immediately increases. There are some things that, depending on your age, improving won't improve life expectancy. ie, a 99 year old doing something that reduces their risk of colon cancer but nothing else will not reduce their chances of dying because something else will kill them first with 100% certainty.
Quitting smoking decreases risk of death for absolutely everyone in every circumstance
It references general body health and the sorts of things that make you age and die. Heart health, lung condition, oral health, stroke risk, skin quality, etc. All of that stuff is affected negatively by smoking. Stopping nearly instantly makes these things better, and they improve over time. So basically if you stop smoking, any way you could die of natural causes drops.
Ever heard of what they had to do to take Rasputin out? I think its that
If you got hit by a bus your chance for recovery would be better as a non-smoker than a smoker.
Also you're more likely to be milling around outside
I first read it as "dying for a cause". I guess cigarettes make you more revolutionary or something
Yeah, down with patriarchy!
Patriarchy is for sure a cause many people die from, so maybe it's time to fight and die for ending it
Smoking causes death in many ways.
If it was R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Philip Morris they would prepend that statement with
"A federal court has ordered Philip Morris USA and R.J. Reyolds Tobacco to state:"
I laugh every time I see that weak ass statement displayed in convenience stores.
Buses drive outside.
People tend to step outside for a smoke.
So yeah, you actually might be more likely to get hit by a bus if you smoke, your smoking spot is anywhere near a bus route, and you are ducking out there 2-4 times a day to stand there smoking while you play with your phone.
Could happen
Basically yeah, obviously no. Cause of death isn't broken down nearly as far as people think it is. You can check it out on the CDC's Web portal. So while you can get the results for motor vehicle accidents, you may not get the results for motor vehicle versus pedestrian.
So all they're actually claiming is that in the statistics, people who quit smoking are less represented in every category.
I'd think it would be pretty hard for one person to die from all of them
Oh yeah? Try and stop me!
Yeah sure, when you get a coughing fit so hard that you can barely breathe and a bus crashes into ya.
Dying from all causes sounds like a really rough last page.
Doctor, what did he die of? ... Everything!
Yes. Everyone knows the bus comes when you light a cigarette.
One of my "modern" folk song is about exactly this phenomenon.
Edit: here it is, if someone is interested, it's an old-styled, descending, parlando rubato hungarian folk song. I noted it down using solmization.
A
2/4||: la,/8 mi/8 mi/8 re/8 | mi/4+ mi/8 | ti,/8 do/8 re/8 mi/8 | ti,/4 la,/4 | ti,/2* :|
B
||: do/8 do/8 ti,/8 la,/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/4 | ti,/2* | do/8 do/8 do/8 re/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/8 | ti,/2* |
C
|| so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 | so,/4* do/8 ta,/8* | la,/2** ||
(the comma after the solmization indicates the note being in a lower octave. Plus sign after a not length value means it's dotted. Asteriks means fermata. Also, there is one strange solmization note (used in relative solmization) which I marked as "ta", it's a flat ti.)
And the lyrics (in hungarian)
"Várakozom én a százötvenegyes buszra, ( A )
Kezemben készen a sodort cigaretta, ( A )
Meg is gyújtom azon nyomban, ( B )
Szippantok belőle hosszan, ( B )
Ah, de megjött már az a busz." ( C )
Which translates to this (I used ChatGPT for the translating, told it to be a bit more... free or poetic or idk):
"Standing at the stop, the one-fifty-one in sight,
In my hand, a cigarette rolled tight.
I light it up, breathe in the smoke,
A long, deep breath, with every toke,
Ah, but now the bus is here, just right."
Wow, that song totally rocks 🤘
🤘 thanks dude
