If a person dies from being a daily smoker for 30 years - is that primarily an age-related cause of death? Or does it just take a long time for the damage you've done to finally catch up?
A habit (or habits) that slowly damages your body and significantly shortens your life span is quite different from the natural march of aging that eventually gets us all.
Heart disease is the same as smoking in 80% of cases. The other ~20% are primarily genetic and much harder to avoid.
