Debunking the Myth: Celebs who died from smoking???
These online lists often state that Heart Attacks and Strokes are as a result of smoking, when in fact these are more likely caused by poor diet, alcohol and a lack of exercise.
Many alcoholics who died from a related disease also get bumped in with the smokers to pump up the numbers. And then we have anyone who died of liver or kidney failure (also often alcohol related), and lung and throat diseases caused by other means; such as radiation and asbestos exposure.
Sometimes any celeb who died, who also happened to smoke, is also added to these lists - like Jack Benny, Bing Crosby or Bill Hicks - who smoked but didnt die from smoking. The classic example being Steve McQueen, who happened to smoke heavily, but this was not the cause of his death, yet he is a symbol for anti-smoking.
Lastly, we get the actual Lung Cancer victims, which are very often people who smoked at least 2 (up to 6) packs per day, and understandably seriously affected their bodies by doing so (or like Tallulah Bankhead, died from something else). People get all sorts of cancers for all kinds of reasons, even those who never smoked a cigarette in their lives.
Red = There is a direct link between smoking and cause of death being Cancer or a lung or throat condition
Orange = Probably caused by smoking.
Note:
Only 15 People in this list died directly from smoking. They all smoked more than 40 cigs (2 packs) per day.

You may have seen lists of 100s of celebs who, "reportedly" died from lung or throat cancer, or smoking related diseases.
They claim that 100s of celebs have died from smoking, but when you look how they actually died, many of these claims seem a pack of lies!

The people who actually died from smoking correlate to those who smoked packs a day, and in these cases it is hardly surprising.
NB.
A '*' star indicated those people quoted as "dying from smoking".
Green = Means they lived to a ripe old age, therefore smoking does not kill or cause premature death.Red = There is a direct link between smoking and cause of death being Cancer or a lung or throat condition
Orange = Probably caused by smoking.

Note:
Only 15 People in this list died directly from smoking. They all smoked more than 40 cigs (2 packs) per day.
John Barry was 82. Quote: "Another premature, tobacco-related death, no doubt. We are not kidding. Every smoker who dies is logged as a tobacco-related death to beef up mortality statistics and imply that those who don’t smoke are either immortal, or live much longer lives. And when they die (sorry, IF they die) they are not logged as a tobacco-related deaths even if they died of the identical diseases of smokers. How else do you think that the anti-tobacco cartel builds up its statistical garbage about the “smoking epidemic”"
