Statistics and Data

“Worldwide, between 80,000 and 100,000 kids start smoking every day. Approximately one quarter of children alive in the Western Pacific Region* will die from smoking.” (http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/antismoking/a/statistics.htm).

Around a third of all the global adult population smokes and 1 of 10 smokers will die because of a smoking disease. This statistics may be worst for the years to come if the trend continues.


Having said this we can see why it is so important to try people to stop smoking. Smoking is one of the things in the world that kills most people and as a global community it concerns us all to try to stop this problem in the best way we can.

This graph show how many people die because of smoking compared to how many people died because of  Aids, alchohol, etc. We can see that it is very high compared to the others, it helps us understand how serious is this theme.
