    Answer: 50%

    Explanation: Scientific view of risks is established by the use of scientific method of evaluation to determine a possible outcome of an event in the future.

    However, this concept of risk evaluation is ensued by the practice of probabilistic reasoning, a statistical approach to forecast an event.

    Hence, the probability of life-long smokers to die before the age of 70 is halved, which translates to 50%.
