**Table 4.

Why?**Explanation of the Table:**This table presents the mortality rates, rate ratios, excess deaths, and attributable risk percentages for lung cancer and cardiovascular disease among smokers and non-smokers from a study conducted in Great Britain between 1951 and 1961. - **Mortality Rate per 1,000 person-years:** This indicates the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a year for smokers and non-smokers.- **Rate Ratio:** This metric shows how many times higher the death rate is among smokers compared to non-smokers.- **Excess Deaths per 1000 person-years:** This reflects the additional deaths per year per 1,000 people attributable to smoking.- **Attributable Risk Percent among Smokers:** This percentage indicates how much of the mortality risk can be attributed to smoking.**Key Points:**- Lung cancer has a much higher rate ratio (18.5) compared to cardiovascular disease (1.3), indicating that smokers are 18.5 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers, whereas they are only 1.3 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease.- The attributable risk percent for lung cancer among smokers is 95%, suggesting that smoking is responsible for nearly all lung cancer deaths among smokers. In contrast, for cardiovascular disease, the
