Why is it important to you?

Tobacco is responsible for an estimated six million deaths per year globally among direct users, and serves as the cause of death for up to half of its users. In addition to those deaths caused by direct use, an estimated 890,000 annual deaths can be attributed to non-user exposure to second-hand smoke. Exposure to tobacco smoke persists to detrimentally affect the health of both smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke. Ingredients in cigarettes form over 7,000 compounds when burned, of which at least 69 are known to be carcinogenic. As a result, the average life expectancy of a smoker is 10 years less than that of a nonsmoker.
