Editor's Notes
- Smoking is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths per year) and, if current smoking patterns continue, by 2030 the proportion will be one in six (about 10 million deaths per year). 1 This means that about 500 million people alive today will eventually be killed by tobacco. 2 Since the 1950s, more than 70,000 scientific articles have left no doubt that smoking is an extraordinarily important cause of premature mortality and disability around the world. In populations where cigarette smoking has been common for several decades, about 90% of cases of lung cancer, 15–20% of cases of other cancers, 75% of cases of chronic bronchitis and emphysema and 25% of deaths from cardiovascular diseases in those 35–69 years of age are attributable to tobacco. Studies have shown that half of all long-term smokers will die of a tobacco-related disease and, of these, half will die before the age of 65. 1 In 1994, the World Bank estimated that the use of tobacco results in a global net loss of US$200 billion per year, half of this loss being in developing countries. Costs were calculated to include direct medical care for tobacco-related diseases, fire losses, absenteeism from work, reduced productivity and lost income due to early mortality. 3 References: 1.

- The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic provides the roadmap to reverse the global tobacco epidemic The solution to the epidemic is MPOWER, and the implementation and enforcement of its six proven effective policies in every country This report – and future editions – will show countries how to reverse the tobacco epidemic The reports also will keep track of global, regional and country progress of the fight against the epidemic
