SPOILERS Someone is told to have a certain disease while in reality they are being poisoned by the doctor character. In the Seoul line, the clones are told they are being set free when they are killed and 'recycled'. There are a lot of other scenes too involving lying and deception but mostly minor ones.

A guy drinks soap" (not an existent drug outside de movie) as an addiction, then dies from it. However, this is not too relevant to the plot and it's not too discussed.

A man is addicted to a liquid substance that makes him high but also puts people to sleep. He dies by overdosing on it. There's also a little bit of alcohol drinking and smoking in it, but addiction is not really a theme there.

A man and a woman get stuck in an old elevator that stops working because of an electricity problem. They don't get hurt. It's not too hard, there's no panic and they get out after a while without any injuries/troubles.

Because of the movie's nature, we come back to the suicide scene over and over again. There is also a goodbye letter and you can see the corpse. It's pretty tough.

Scenes with lightning are a no-go. A sequence in which Halle Berry's character starts up a computer (after using the screens) features flashing lights - it lasts about ten seconds, then cuts away, and cuts back for another 5 seconds.
Two scenes which take place during a gun battle also feature flashing lights (including on the face of a character who is overlooking the battle)

No, but some cisgender actors play characters of other genders, as their souls have been reincarnated. Possibly triggering to some.

Yes and one scene in particular is extremely over the top in tension and tragedy. (SPOILERS) One of the six protagonists, a bisexual man, shoots himself. His lover is murdered several decades later in order to silence his investigation of a corporate cover up.

Yes, six specifically, all in the 1846 story. For each one, here's some context and preceding dialogue to watch for. I've also removed the immediately surrounding words so that you won't have to hear the exact quote in your head.
******(FIRST is Atua paraphrasing racist behavior) "No! They no listen I!" ******(SECOND is the 1846 ship captain wanting to kill Atua) "No one tells me what I can't do on my ship..." ******(THIRD is the fake doctor falsely telling Atua that his white friend is racist) "You probably infected him! He begged me to please, and I quote, ..." ******(FOURTH is the fake doctor addressing Atua while trying to kill him) Atua has just told his friend to run. The fake doctor smiles with blood on his teeth. ******(FIFTH is the 1846 father-in-law making a racist tirade) "Listen to me! There is a natural order....If you try to tell people that..." ******(SIXTH is said by the same person just a few words later)
