Actually recent studies show vegetarians have lower mortality rates than meat eaters.
So youre just assuming correlation equals causation? You dont think that has anything to do with the type of people that would be vegan/veg would typically be more conservative with diet, risks, and life in general. I would bet the percentage of smokers amongst vegans is significantly less as well.

I do agree the vegans are generally going to more health conscious overall. Studies do show less incidences of heart disease, diabetes, etc in cultures that consume a more plant based diet even in the same regions as meat eating cultures though.
