Outcome	Percent change if a 50% reduction in smoking prevalence was reached	Men who would be saved from death if a 50% reduction in smoking prevalence was reached	Percent change if a 70% reduction in smoking prevalence was reached	Men who would be saved from death if a 70% reduction in smoking prevalence was reached
