Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death.

Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year, and current trends show that tobacco use will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030.

Cigarette smoking is responsible for about one in five deaths annually (i.e., more than 440,000 deaths per year in the U.S. and an estimated 49,000 of these smoking-related deaths are the result of second-hand smoke exposure).

On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than non-smokers.

The tobacco industry spent $8.37 billion total in advertising in 2011

That is almost $23 million spent every day in 2011
