Tobacco Facts

Because there is a lag of several years between when people start using tobacco and when their health suffers, the epidemic of disease and death (as it appears today) has just begun in this world. Millions are going to die due to tobacco.

  • 100 million deaths were caused by tobacco in the 20th century. If current trends continue, there will be up to one billion deaths in the 21st century.

  • Unchecked, tobacco-related deaths will increase to more than eight million a year by 2030, and 80% of those deaths will occur in the developing world.
