China has the highest prevalence of smoking in the world, with over 300 million smokers. This puts it at a higher risk for having the most lung cancer deaths in the next 20 years, as smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. Urban cities in the United States may also have high lung cancer rates due to higher smoking rates and exposure to pollution, but China's much larger population and higher prevalence of smoking make it a more likely candidate for the highest number of lung cancer deaths. Rural communities in the United States have lower smoking rates compared to urban areas, while France has lower smoking rates and stricter tobacco laws in place, so they are not as likely to have the highest number of lung cancer deaths.
