Established... but not quantifiable. Unlike being stabbed or shot.
Because of the unquantiable nature of smoking and cancer, the chance of dying via smoking versus dying via stabbing, will never be known.

But they do. Noone is forced to do any job.

You say "want" and then you say they have no choice.
Despite the name, it isn't though. They are private places of business and the landlords/ladies/employees/patrons choose to enter/work in.
When you say people have no choice to work in a pub, I think that's pretty insulting to them.
