The Bottom Line.
Nearly one of every five deaths in the U.S. is caused by a smoking-related disease. That adds up to 480,000 deaths every year. Cigarette smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, homicides, suicides, illegal drugs, and fires combined. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the US.
