Global smoking endangers 1.2 billion
The World Health Organization announced that smoking causes more than 7 million deaths worldwide each year, including 1.6 million among non-smokers due to passive smoking. It also pointed out that the number of smokers exceeds 1.2 billion people, with particular focus on the increasing prevalence of smoking among teenagers and young people, especially through massive advertising campaigns by tobacco companies. The organization called on governments to ban flavored products and advertisements, and to strengthen laws prohibiting smoking in public places, as many chronic diseases caused by tobacco affect millions of people annually.
