Tobacco remains the leading preventable cause of death in this country and in the world.
Tobacco use is a major factor in four out of the five leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung disease and stroke.
It
causes about a third of heart disease and cancer, and most emphysema.

Should you really "start up that cig"...think twice
