Dear Colleagues,
According to the Centers for Disease Control, tobacco use is the
leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and mortality in
our society. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco
use accounted for over 4 million annual deaths in 1998 and that the
yearly figure will rise to 8.4 million deaths by 2020. Despite
these statistics, over 1 billion adults worldwide continue to smoke.
Most tobacco use begins during childhood or adolescence. In the U.S.
alone, more than 3,000 teens become established smokers each day.
Today's newsletter focuses on this important health issue.
