Domain Croc,
Your numbers are wrong. All of them. But I know where you got them and how the numbers were arrived at.
For example, the 87% is gathered by the question of if the person who has lung cancer has ever been in the presence of someone who was smoking. Or if they ever smoked a single cigarette. Based on that, I'm surprised the number wasn't higher.
All of it originates from a study that was ruled a fraud in federal court because of how it was conducted. That has not, however, stopped people from citing it.
