1% of people die annually in the world dies of snuff consumption without smoking a single cigarettein their life. Are the most innocent victims of the tobacco multinationals but also of attitude, objectively harmful, those smokers and those smoking (in men decreases consumption and increases in women) who smoke in public places or family in the presence of others ( often very vulnerable children.) These data vaguely knew and has been quantified in a study published in the medical journal
The Lancet (“Worldwide burden of disease from Exposure to second-hand smoke: a retrospective analysis of data from 192 countries” The Lancet, Early Online Publication , 26 November 2010) by the researcher Annette Prüss-Üstün, the World Health Organization (WHO).
More than 600,000 die each year from passive smoking, 165,000 are children. In Spain the death toll stands at 3000 and Andalusia are more than thousand people dying victims of addiction than ever contracted.
