People exposed to highest doses of ionizing radiation are smokers.
Even more than US radiation workers.
To find out Please watch the complete video.
Notes about measuring radiation:
Sieverts are a measure of 'effective dose' - that means they measure the biological impact of the energy transferred to tissues from radiation.
Smoking Kills(Literally)
(Video discription)
The most contentious claim may be that smokers receive the highest dose of ionizing radiation. This is not a whole body dose, but a dose to the lungs as specified in the video. References are here:
