The number of people who die of tobacco related disease is staggering. It is estimated that 58.8 million deaths worldwide 5.4 million due to smoking-related diseases or illnesses - nearly 70% of these deaths in developing countries.
It is not difficult to understand why so many deaths are caused by smoking. A heart attack, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and pharynx, larynx, mouth and lung cancer are among some of the diseases affected by smoking.
World Health Organization estimates that the total number of smoking-related deaths during the 20th century, nearly 100 million - an absolutely staggering number. Tobacco use has been labeled "the most important preventable risk to human health in developed countries and a major cause of premature death worldwide," the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In developing countries, the proportion of current smokers on the increase, while it is in steady decline worldwide. Smoking is certainly not in the list! But let me tell you that smoking is disease? The answer is no, and if you do not know, smoking causes seven out of ten causes of death in the list! He is smoking as another major cause of death in the world!
Studies have also found that smoking, active or passive, increases the risk of developing the following diseases: stroke, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory infections, tuberculosis, HIV susceptibility, cancer lung at the beginning, and low birth weight. All these diseases are in the top ten causes of death! These diseases are also linked to smoking, just because cigarettes and tobacco products have mutagenic and carcinogenic substances.
The news gets worse for smokers and the tobacco industry. The World Health Organization expects that 10 million people die each year from illnesses related to consumption of snuff in 2030 making it the leading cause of death worldwide. The rate of death from diseases related to snuff for the 21 st century must be ten times that of the 20 century, according to WHO estimates.
Of course, none of this would have no effect on preventing new smokers from the habit. Like most people start smoking in their childhood when their peers have more influence over them than their parents, teachers and health workers, they are much more likely to get into the habit of entering the thought, but not become addicted or are considering negative effects on their health. Today, smoking or other old dies every 6.5 seconds. Each puff is the same one to lose 15 minutes of life. life expectancy of smokers is reduced by about 2.5 to 10 years. The United States has more than 443,000 Americans die of smoking, and in 2015, smoking is expected to kill about 6.5 million people.
