It has more to do with people who are on farming diets but no longer farm.

People in India smoked just as much when they weren't living such sedentary lifestyles.

I don't understand the claim: is it that farming diets are unhealthy, or something else? I'd expect subsistence lifestyles to have higher all-round mortality, but probably not CVD specifically.

I suspect they also lived shorter lives for the aforementioned all-round mortality reasons.
