My name is Ben Csikos, I live in Brisbane Australia. Eliminating cigarette smoking will make the world a far better place. Check out these stats I grabbed from the internet by simply googling cigarettes! http://www.inforesearchlab.com/smokingdeaths.chtml Around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco. * Smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in 2015 and 8.3 million humans in 2030, with the biggest rise in low-and middle-income countries. * Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Over 438,000 Americans (18.1 percent of all deaths) die because of smoking each year. Secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 of them. 1.2 million people in China die because of smoking each year. That's 2,000 people a day. Tobacco use will kill 1 billion people in the 21st century if current smoking trends continue. Around 100 million people died because of tobacco use in the 20th century. 650,000 Europeans die each year from tobacco-related diseases, EU figures reveal. In India, about 1 million Indians a year die from smoking-related diseases, that's more than 2,500 people daily. Half of Indian males use tobacco and it is becoming more popular with younger people. In Russia, smoking kills between 400,000 and 500,000 Russians every year from smoking ailments. In Japan, smoking is the leading cause of death and is responsible for 20% of all cancers. 50 percent of men and 14 percent of women smoke. About 140,000 Germans die every year from tobacco-related illnesses. Nearly one in three German adults smokes regularly. Some studies estimate that 3,000-4,000 deaths per year can be attributed to passive smoking. In France, there are about 66,000 smoking-related deaths each year and up to 5,800 deaths from passive smoking, inhaling the smoke of smokers. About 12 million people are smokers, 25 percent of the population. In Spain, there are 50,000 smoking-related deaths annually. About 30 percent of Spaniards smoke. Big problem? Yes indeedy!
