It’s World No Tobacco Day tomorrow, so let’s collectively make an effort to observe the rite of not lighting up. After all, tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world (according to the World Health Organisation) and is currently responsible for the death of one in 10 adults worldwide (about five million deaths each year). 

REMIND me why I shouldn’t smoke. That’s easy. More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined1,3.
