Current and Projected Statistics On Deaths Resulting From Tobacco Use
If you have ever tried to quit smoking, now might be the time to try again. No, don’t try; you CAN be successful with the right tools. They are out there. You just need to find what will work for you. There are nutraceutical and naturopathic remedies that are clinically proven to resist the cravings and there are also supplements to help counteract the damages smoking has already done. Also, there are electronic cigarettes on the market that give you the kick of nicotine without the harmful fire and smoke.
Just look at these statistics published by the World Health Organization and you just might find the motivation you have been lacking. They state that “Tobacco use is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced.” Worldwide, there are currently more than one billion smokers. In the twentieth century there were an estimated 100,000 deaths directly attributed to tobacco usage but it is projected that in the twenty-first century there will be up to about a billion deaths.
But to get down to hard facts, tobacco kills at least 5.4 million people worldwide per year. That is one in ten adult deaths. And if that isn’t scary enough, think about this. Tobacco kills about half of all users! The WHO states that the risk factor is 6 of every 8 deaths worldwide.
There really are more effective solutions than those expensive patches that have been around for a few decades now. If you lacked the motivation before, just keep reading those statistics and you will have taken the first step to a healthier lifestyle. Let the risk factors sink in and then you can chose which method you would like to pursue. Remember, there are proven methods. You just need to find what works for you.
