In some studies, at the end of them, I see:
“quitting smoking reduces your chance of dying from all causes.”
So if I quit smoking I’m less likely to get hit by a bus?

Basically yeah, obviously no. Cause of death isn’t broken down nearly as far as people think it is. You can check it out on the CDC’s Web portal. So while you can get the results for motor vehicle accidents, you may not get the results for motor vehicle versus pedestrian.
So all they’re actually claiming is that in the statistics, people who quit smoking are less represented in every category.
