Researchers have updated charts that show an American's risk of dying from a given cause over the next ten years, based on age, sex and smoking status. At all ages, men have a higher risk of death from all causes combined, relative to women. For both men and women, smoking increases the risk of death by nearly the same magnitude as adding approximately 5 years to a person's age.
