Tobacco Use and
DependenceDr. P.Naina Mohamed PhD
Pharmacologist
Tobacco use is the largest single preventable cause of illness and premature deaths .
Since 1955 tobacco use has been the leading cause of cancer death in men and in women since 1986.
About 10 million deaths would be caused by tobacco use annually by the year 2030, if current smoking patterns continue.
About 1 in 5 adults smoke. 4 out of 10 nonsmokers (40%) are exposed to
secondhand smoke. Smoking rates are higher among people with a
lower education level.
