WHO’s Updated Statistics & Suggestions:

Tobacco kills around 6 million users every year, and out of it 5 million users are active smokers. Around 600000 second-hand smokers die every year. Nearly, 80% of the smokers belong to the low-and-medium-income countries. But the saddest part is tobacco-related illness and death considered largest in low-and-medium-income countries.

To cut down tobacco consumption World Health Organisation has suggested few measures. The main victim is youth, and the youth is more important than tax collection of a state. So a high taxation rate can help a lot to deprive production of tobacco. Next, advertising industry should do negative advertising and picture warning.

To penalise a teenager for tobacco smoking is not the solution, but social service help is crucial. They can help them who are willing to quit tobacco, at least a provision should be there. Social service needs to be active so that smokers can quit the habit and leave healthy.
