Answer:

D) 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 40% of adult deaths are partially caused by smoking.
  • Smoking increases the risk of getting serious health conditions like lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and COPD (COPD is usually the first thing you are diagnosed with if you smoke a lot)
  • COPD causes you to not be able to breathe which could lead to a heart attack; which could eventually lead to lung cancer
