    I’m sure this article is right about the difference in deaths mostly being due to access to care but I’d be really interested to see what the rates of developing cancer in the first place are. Just ask a line cook how many of their coworkers smoke vs someone in middle management

    And adjusting for smoking rates you might still see a difference. Poor areas have much higher rates of pollution and idk about the UK but where I live a lot of the cheapest rental units are basement suites where the radon exposure risk is of course higher.
