My whole family has died from smokerelated diseases. Nobody got much older than 50 y.o. And who really wants to become 100 years anyway. It's not enough jobs and resources for all of us. In my mind it makes perfect sense to wanna commit a slow suicide. The world's not that great anyway. But I really think cigaretterelated diseases should not be treated by any public funded health service. If you are as suicidal as me, you should have the decency to die without costing others lots of money. |

I don't know what is these numbers are!? Percentage of adult? ... I doubt even so, cause in my country I hardly can find a non-smoker and the number here is 18 !? is there anyway I can understand these numbers? |

I would like to have my name removed from the commonwealth brands mailing list. I do not smoke and the coupons are going in the trash. Thank you |

It's hardly to believe that the USA isn't in that statistics as there are a lot of states with high smoking rates. So, I would like to know on what basis this statistics has been made. |

Despite what is written, I take this to be percent (%) of adult population that smokes, right? |

So if smoking is so bad for everyone and the biggest killer of people in the world, why is it still legal to buy it? |

According to the World Health Organization (see: http://www.who.int/en/), tobacco is the second biggest cause of death in the world and is responsible for about 5 million deaths each year, or one of every 10 adult deaths. Smoking will kill 10 million people per year by 2020 if current smoking patterns continue. Half of the people who smoke today, about 650 million people, will eventually die from tobacco-related illness. On February 27, 2005, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) came into force. Countries that signed the treaty are bound by its provisions, which include tobacco advertising bans, price and tax increases, and measures to protect against second-hand smoke. There are 168 signatories to the treaty. Earlier in the month, Cuba, which is famous for its cigars, instituted new anti-smoking regulations which will ban smoking in many workplaces and the sale of cigarettes near schools. |
