Smoking kills six million people a year, accounting for one in 10 deaths among adults worldwide. Without urgent action, tobacco use will claim one billion lives this century!
This is not an attempt to say don’t worry about this virus, smoking kills way more, no, the story is if you smoke you’re probably in for a fight for your very life if you get Coronavirus.
China has the most tobacco users (300.8 million), followed by India (274.9 million). China has the most smokers (300.7 million), while India has the most smokeless tobacco users (205.9 million).
Russia has the highest smoking rate among men (60.2 percent). Particularly alarming is the fact that the percentage of Russian youth who smoke (both male and female, ages 15 to 19) is higher than in any other country.
And you cannot catch the death from smoking by casual contact, from someone who can't even tell they're spreading.
Keep strokin' those Pandas.
