Smoking kills, right??

So what's killing Americans if not the smoking?

Greece - Smokers: 39.1%, Life expectancy: 82.2 years

France - Smokers: 34.6%, Life expectancy: 83.5 years

Andorra - Smokers: 33.8%, Life expectancy: 83.9 years

Cyprus - Smokers: 36.7%, Life expectancy: 82.2 years

Spain - Smokers: 28.4%, Life expectancy: 84.2 years

Italy - Smokers: 22.4%, Life expectancy: 84.4 years

United States - Smokers: 24.3%, Life expectancy: 77.3 years

But what is the life expectancy of those who smoke in those countries? Overall life expectancy (i.e. combining smokers and non-smokers) has too many confounders.
