Explanation:

1. For the first question, public health data shows nearly 1 in 8 global deaths are linked to cigarette smoking.
2. For the second question, epidemiological studies confirm smoking causes more annual deaths than HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, and firearm-related incidents combined.
3. For the third question, major health organizations state smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and around 80% in women, with a combined average of ~80-90%; 80-90% is the standard accepted range, with 90% being a common specific statistic for overall lung cancer deaths tied to smoking.
4. For the fourth question, oral cavity and pharyngeal cancer (often grouped as head and neck cancer, specifically oral cancer) includes the throat, tongue, soft palate, and tonsils, and smoking is a known risk factor.

Answer:

1. True
2. All of these things COMBINED
3. 80-90% (or 90% as a specific common value)
