> For example someone who is a heavy smoker (ie. a pack a day) gets cancer at a rate of 25% in their lifetime should they live to age 80
I'm curious what the odds are for an 80 year old light or never smoker. Is it 24%? 2.4%? .0024%? Do you know?
Also curious how long you have to live as a non smoker to get to that equivalent 25%. I'm under the impression that everyone gets cancer if you live long enough.
