Tobacco Harm Information – World Heart Federation (2012)

Smoking is estimated to cause 10 per cent of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is the second leading cause of CVD, after high blood pressure.1 The impact of tobacco smoke is not confined solely to smokers. Nearly 6 million people die from tobacco use or exposure to secondhand smoke, accounting for 6 per cent of female and 12 per cent of male deaths worldwide, every year. By 2030 tobacco-related deaths are projected to increase to more than 8 million deaths a year.1 Smoking is, however, avoidable and advancing a tobacco-free world is a key strategic priority for the World Heart Federation.
