According to this study, sure, but countries, like France, with double the smoking rate of the USA still don't have double the health issues associated with smoking.
I'd like to see a simple bar chart with, for each country, a bar displaying smokers as a percentage of population and a bar displaying heart-disease/cancer/diabetes/whatever[1] as a percentage of the population.
My understanding right now is that countries with (for example) double the smokers still don't have double the health problems. Some may even have fewer health problems even though they have more smokers.
