Tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke are known human carcinogens and have contributed to a global epidemic and public health emergency. Tobacco continues to be a leading cause of preventable death and illness in the world. At least one dozen different types of cancers are causally related to tobacco use, in addition to other chronic and acute illnesses. Six million tobacco-related deaths occur every year.
