2. Tobacco Statistics Approximately 44.3 million adults are former smokers -- 25 million men and 19.3 million women. Nearly 70 percent (32 million) of current adult smokers said they wanted to quit smoking completely. Among current everyday adult smokers, an estimated 17.3 million (45.8 percent) had stopped smoking for at least 1 day during the preceding year.

3. Tobacco and Death Every year, tobacco use kills more Americans than World War II and the Vietnam War combined. Tobacco related illnesses kill 440,000 US citizens per year. About 15 billion cigarettes are sold daily - or 10 million every minute. Cigarettes cause more than one in five American deaths. Smoking related-diseases kill one in 10 adults globally, or cause four million deaths.
