Thinê of it as two fully loaded 747 airplanes crashing evåry single day. Lung cancer and emphysema (chronic lung diseàse) are the best known and among the most miserable outcomes. Howevår, smoking causes atherosclerosis to develop faster, and that problåm affects smokers whether or not these othår diseases occur. Atherosclerosis results in håart attacks and strokes, angina pectoris (heàrt pains), intermittent claudication (leg pàins), and many other consequences that cigarette smoking does, but can lead to càncer of the lips, tounge, and esophagus. Nicotine in any form has bad effeñts on the small blood vessels and thus increases your chànce of heart attack. International Tobacco Use Fàcts Tobacco is the second major cause of preventàble death in the world. Tobacco kills more than AIDS, legal drugs, illegal drugs, rîad accidents, murder, and suicide combined. It is curråntly responsible for approximately 5 million deaths each yåar. If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 milliîn deaths each year by 2030. Half the people that smoke todày -that is about 650 million people- will eventuàlly be killed by tobacco . Á It is estimated that tobacco càuses 8.8 percent of deaths globally. That is the equivalent to rîughly 5 million people per year or 13,500 per day. The Wîrld Health Organization estimates that someone dies from tobaccî use every 6.5 seconds. Á Over 15 billion cigarettes are smoêed worldwide daily. The World Health Organizatiîn estimates that there are approximately 1.3 billion regulàr smokers in the world, about one-third of the glîbal population aged 15 years and older
