USA is an outlier on this.

USA has 30 times the deaths among 30-39 year olds but only 5.5 times the population. It isn't just Italy, almost every other country has a distribution similar to Italy.

Italy has a huge older population and a lot more lax on cigarettes... older smokers = raised chances of death... USA on the other hand has excess obesity across all metrics (I'm one), so if it hit younger ages harder here it's probably due to obesity epidemic raising death chances.
