Description: Efficient R interface to the Cancer Intervention and
        Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) Smoking History
        Generator microsimulation engine, which synthesizes individual
        smoking histories (initiation, cessation, intensity) and ages
        at death from calibrated initiation, cessation,
        cigarettes-per-day, and mortality tables. The wrapper exposes
        fixed-cohort and population data-frame simulation,
        multi-threaded segmentation, reproducible pseudo-random streams
        (L'Ecuyer RngStream MRG32k3a or Matsumoto--Nishimura Mersenne
        Twister), legacy CLI-style configuration files, and portable
        YAML configuration save/load with optional split smoking and
        mortality parameter bundles. Methods follow Jeon et al. (2012)
