Tobacco’s Deadly Grip Still Strong

Tobacco kills over eight million people yearly—seven million from direct smoking, a million from secondhand exposure—and harms every organ. The industry’s push for e-cigarettes and flavored vapes is aggressively targeting youth, with 80% of teens sensing the intent. Secondhand smoke causes thousands of U.S. deaths annually and spikes heart attack risk by 30% even with brief exposure. Kids suffer more infections and asthma. Quitting works: set a date, use patches or meds, and pair with counseling. World No Tobacco Day urges global action—ban ads, raise taxes, and protect your health from nicotine’s grip.
