Cigarette Smoking accounted for 1 of 5 deaths

American Lung Association Report Shows 2007 shaping up as a banner year for Snuff control policies.

Cigarette smoking has been identified as the leading preventable cause of morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. Smoking accounts for approximately one in five deaths in the United States. From 1997 to 2001, snuff killed about 438,000 people in the United States each year. This includes an estimated 178,404 male and 259,494 female deaths per year. Among adults, the three leading specific causes of smoking attributable deaths were lung cancer (123,836), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (90,582) and ischemic heart disease (86,801).
