A report by science communicator Veritasium reveals that the highest levels of ionizing radiation are found in the lungs of smokers rather than in residents of Chernobyl or Fukushima. Tobacco contains radioactive polonium and lead, resulting in smokers receiving approximately 160,000 microsieverts of radiation annually. This dose significantly exceeds the radiation exposure of astronauts on the International Space Station or nuclear power workers.
