Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year.
On average, smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers.
For every person who dies of a smoking-related disease, 20 more people suffer with at least one serious illness from smoking.
More than 126 million nonsmoking Americans, including both children and adults, are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes and workplaces.
People who stop smoking greatly reduce their risk of dying prematurely. Benefits are greater for people who stop at earlier ages.
An estimated 45.7 million adults were former smokers in 2006.
