The Frightening rate at which the smokers die from smoking
According to the recent research from the Australia, two third of the
smokers will die early because of the illness triggered by the cigarette, unless
they opt to quit the habit.
The study, published this week in the BMC medicine, of more than 200000
people showed that around 67 percent of the smokers are perished from the
smoking related illness. This rate is much higher than the doctors estimated
earlier.

The tobacco smoke can boost up the risks for minimum 13 types of cancer.
The earlier you quit is the best. The study stated that the relative risks of
adverse health effects inflate with enhanced intensity of smoking, measured by
the quantity of tobacco smoked on daily basis and with increasing the duration
of the smoking.
The research showed that the risk of death is doubled by smoking 10
cigarettes daily and smoking a pack every day quadruples it.
A researcher, co-author Emily Banks, at the Australian National
University, said that they knew smoking was bad but now they have independent
and direct evidence which confirms the alarming findings that have
internationally been emerging.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a computed
42.1 million Americans smoke the cigarettes. The top reason of preventable
diseases and the death in United States is the cigarette smoking, accounting
for more than 480000 deaths each year, the agency reported, or one in the
fives.
However, putting aside the emotional turmoil, smoking is bad for the
wallets too. A study of Ohio State University found that the employees who
smoke tobacco cost the employers around $6000 extra annually in productivity
and the health care than the non smokers.
From the New England Journal of Medicine, another study shows that the
health care costs, on average, for the smokers tend to be 40 percent higher. This
same research suggests darkly that we all would save the money in short term if
the cigarette from the earth vanished but night be paying more down the line as
all would live longer.
How to get the Americans to quit the habit, the policy makers have long
wondered. According to the research from the University of Michigan, in
some areas youth smoking has been reduced by adding excise taxes to the
cigarette packs. Around 30 percent of the adults smoke who are living below the
poverty level, compared with 16 percent who are living at or above the poverty
level.
The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends invoking the smoke free
public places and developing supportive environments for the people to part
with their packs. Meanwhile, the CDC distributes the advice like How to live
with a hole in your neck?
