CDC study: Kentucky has highest smoking death rate

I don't care how you feel about smoking, this qualifies as a Study in Stupidity: did they expect to find the highest rates of "death from smoking" in states with the lowest population of smokers?

Rounding out the 10 states with the highest average annual smoking death rates were Nevada, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana and Missouri.
