Abstract
Tobacco takes an enormous toll on the health of the public as the cause of 440,000 deaths annually in the United States and 4.8 million deaths worldwide.1,2 An estimated 8.6 million persons in the United States have serious smoking-related illness.3 The World Health Organization projects that by the year 2030 the use of tobacco will kill 10 million persons annually — including 7 million in developing countries — which will make tobacco use the world's leading cause of preventable death.4Keywords
