There’s been a decline of lung cancer deaths since her generation peaked in mortality. It’s still the leading cause of cancer death, and cancer as a cause of death accounts for maybe 25% of deaths each year, so it’s right up at the top of the list behind heart disease.
Of course, machine gun, mass casualty, assault rifle moralities have risen considerably in the US over the same time frame.
