Certainly, if all deaths from diseases related to smoking such as lung disease, heart disease, and cancers of other organs were considered, a case could be made for cigarette smoking as the foremost cause of death in industrialized countries. As luck would have it, it is also the most avoidable cause of death in our society. The expression “smoker’s lung” refers to the structural and functional defect in the lung caused by cigarette smoking.
