Summary:
Tobacco -- the only consumer product proven to kill half its regular
users -- is responsible for about 6 million deaths worldwide every
year. One hundred million people were killed by tobacco in the 20th
century. Unless effective measures are implemented to prevent young
people from smoking and to help current smokers quit, tobacco will
kill 1 billion people in the 21st century.
The Tobacco Atlas, 3rd Edition, the latest edition of this
comprehensive volume of research, published by the American Cancer
Society, and its accompanying website, graphically display how
tobacco is devastating both global health and economies. Full-color
maps and graphics illustrate in a clear and accessible format the
wide range of tobacco issues, revealing similarities and differences
between countries, and exposing the behavior of the tobacco
companies. It also examines solutions and predicts the future course
of the global tobacco pandemic.
