In Australia, male and female smokers were estimated to have the same risks of death 9.6 and 10.1 years earlier than 75-year-old non-smokers, respectively (Figure 5). Starting from age 45, 44.6% of male smokers in Australia would be estimated to die by age 75, compared to 18.9% of male non-smokers. Corresponding figures for females were 33.0% for smokers and 12.2% for non-smokers.
