45,263,000 People Died From Smoking in 2020

Smoking is the Leading Preventable Cause of Death

Every year, millions of people die from smoking-related diseases. In 2020, an estimated 45,263,000 people died from smoking, according to the World Health Organization. That's more than the number of people who died from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.

Smoking is a major risk factor for a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also a leading cause of preventable death.

The good news is that smoking rates are declining in many countries. However, there is still a long way to go. In 2020, an estimated 1.3 billion people smoked tobacco worldwide. That's about one in every four adults.

If you smoke, quitting is the best thing you can do for your health.

Quitting smoking can reduce your risk of developing smoking-related diseases and improve your overall health. It can also save you money and improve your quality of life.

There are many resources available to help you quit smoking. Talk to your doctor or visit the website of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for more information.
