The study published in the journal BMC Medicine, was the first evidence that shows the relationship between smoking and the risk of death is high, that is, two-thirds.
"We know smoking is not good but we currently have no direct evidence that confirms it," said study author who is also the director of the Sax Institute's 45 and Up Study, Professor Emily Banks.
He said, smokers are three times the risk of premature death than those who had never smoked. "This finding is an important reminder that the role against tobacco unfinished and tobacco control efforts must still be done," said Banks.
In the past, health experts estimate 50 percent of smokers will die of illness. But this time, a recent study in the UK showed this risk increased to 67 percent.
In addition, studies conducted in collaboration with one of the foundations of health in Australia was also found that, compared to nonsmokers, smokers who spent 10 cigarettes per day twice as high as the face of death. This risk is increased to four to five times if they spend one pack of cigarettes per day.
This result is a health analysis conducted for four years and involved 200 thousand men and women.
