What is the average age today of a ham ... around 50? He also may die
early if he is also a smoker just like he may die early if he falls from
a tower. Averages can be misleading, the smoking range is more
significant here. Doesn't smoking for some not change their life span
while others will have a large reduction in life span.

He'll live a shorter life span, below average by 5 years or more,
because he
is a smoker. He may die early if he falls from a tower, but if he is a
safe
climber, he'll just climb safely for less time than other safe climbers.
