Risk of death during interaction with the police is practically zero where I live. Whenever that happens, it’s on the media for months or years.

It is practically zero almost everywhere. Iran is the only exception I can think of, and even then it is only protesters. (I'm sure there are other corrupt countries that I'm not aware of)

Likewise, the probability of dying from smoking a cigarette is effectively zero. This is a poor measure for evaluating harm and risk.
