The death rate from smoking continues to increase. A new report launched by the World Lung Foundation (WLF) notes, deaths from smoking increased almost threefold in the last decade.
WLF and the American Cancer Society says, if this trend continues, then one billion people will die from tobacco use this century, or one person will die every six second.
As reported www.tobaccoatlas.org, tobacco has killed 50 million people in 10 years, and smoking is responsible for more than 15 percent of all male deaths and 7 percent of female deaths.
