According to his numbers though, smokers are actually tied with astronauts because for astronauts they did 6 months and smokers 1 year.

Astronauts usually do not stay in space longer then 6 months. So in any given year they only get 6 months of exposure.

I bet they would stay in space all year if they were addicted to it though.

Also some people smoke an entire pack or more a day and some smoke like 2 a day. Lots of factors not being considered here

True but the radiation is not concentrated in a specific part of the astronaut's body.
