You argued that smoking HERE contributes to our lower life expectancy compared to European countries with universal health care. I just showed you that they smoke more THERE.

No, I didn't. I argued that you have to statistically remove smoking deaths from ALL countries being compared to make a reasonable comparison.

You would have to remove smoking as a cause of death from ALL of countries on the listing. And you would have to remove 100s or 1000s of other factors as well.

Which is the reason life expectancy isn't a meaningful measure of health care quality.

You can compare "HEALTH" without making that adjustment if you'd like. But that is a different thing from comparing health care systems.

You really don't have the intellect to participate in this conversation. Your time would be better spent watching gay porn on your computer which I'm reasonably sure it what you're best at.
