To determine the correct response, we need to compare the number of people suffering from at least one serious illness due to smoking with the number of people who die from smoking-related diseases.

If we assume that the number of people who die from smoking-related diseases is represented by \(D\) and the number of people suffering from serious illnesses is represented by \(S\), the question is asking for \(S - D\).

However, without specific statistics or numbers regarding how many people suffer from serious illnesses compared to those who die from a smoking-related disease, we cannot determine the exact difference.

Given that your options are numerical, it appears there is presupposed knowledge on the specific statistics associated with smoking-related illnesses.

From general public health statistics, typically for every one person who dies from a smoking-related disease, many more are living with serious illnesses caused by smoking. A common rough estimate is that for every death attributable to smoking, there may be 20 or more people suffering from serious smoking-related illnesses.

Considering this reasoning, if forced to choose an answer given the provided options, "20" might be a plausible estimate based on average public health statistics regarding smoking impact.

So, the most fitting response based on common knowledge about smoking-related diseases is likely:

**20**
