438,000
American deaths each year are attributable to cigarette smoking*
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2005)
reported that between 1997 and 2001:
123,836 died from lung cancer
90,582 died from chronic airway obstruction
86,801 died from coronary heart disease
34,693 died from other types of cancers
17,436 died from strokes
The death of Peter Jennings, ABC News Anchor, on August 7, 2005, from smoking related lung cancer was just one of the many instances happening daily and reported in the media prompting many people to try to quit.
Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and reducing the health of smokers in general.
Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits, reducing risks for diseases caused by smoking and improving health in general.
Smoking cigarettes with lower machine-measured yields of tar and nicotine provides no clear benefit to health.
The list of diseases caused by smoking has been expanded to include abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute myeloid leukemia, cataract, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, pneumonia, periodontitis, and stomach cancer. These are in addition to diseases previously known to be caused by smoking, including bladder, esophageal, laryngeal, lung, oral, and throat cancers, chronic lung diseases, coronary heart and cardiovascular diseases, as well as reproductive effects and sudden infant death syndrome.

a cigarette again.”
