So, if you live inside the Artic Circle, don't smoke and you should be fine.

Here I will post the dripping sarcasm emoji for you

 [sarcasm]

   Since smoking tends to impair the fibers that help clear the lungs of particulate, I suppose it has some truth to it but then the texture of the tobacco leaf tends to trap the particulate fallout of radon. If I remember right smoking unfiltered cigarettes provide an annual equivalent dose of 5 Rem primarily from Polonium-210. Double/triple jeopardy for the Inuit.

I read this on my phone, so may have missed some of the data. One thing I didn't see was a source for radon; the U238, U234, Th230, & Ra226. I wonder, is this area a hotbed for uranium explorers and explorers?
A REM is a REM is a REM
Yea, though I walk through the boundaries of containment, I shall fear no dose, for my meters are with me.  My counters, air sample filters, and smears, they comfort me.

History: "The Free Enterprise Radon Health Mine has a history that dates back to 1924 when it was originally appropriated for the mining of silver and lead ore. In 1949, mining engineer Wade V. Lewis, with two other locators, discovered the presence of radioactivity at the abandoned site. A lease for the Free Enterprise Uranium Mine was acquired and excavation proceeded."

Doesn't actually say they were successful mining for uranium ore. Site doesn't try to quantify potential airborne levels.
