Tobacco smoking is the largest single avoidable cause of premature death and the most important known carcinogen.

* It is associated particularly with lung cancer but also has a causative role in many other cancers, eg. esophageal, head

and neck.

* 15% of all cancer cases worldwide and >30% of cases in men from developed countries are attributed to smoking.

* A substantial increase in cancer burden may be expected unless measures to control consumption are strengthened -- a

consequence of the ongoing increase in global cigarette consumption, especially among women and in developing countries.

* Smoking cessation reduces the risk of cancer, but programmes promoting cessation have had only limited success.

* Passive exposure to tobacco smoke also contributes.

* Smoking is responsible for ~90% of cases of lung cancer and the relative risk in lifelong smoker compared to a lifelong

non-smoker is between 10- and 30- fold dependent on intensity and duration of exposure.
