A billion people will die from smoking related causes this century:
In the last century the death toll was about 100m, including 7m in Britain . . .
. . . Smoking currently kills about five million adults a year globally.
Each year, about 30m people take up smoking around the world, Professor Peto said.
He added: "If more than 20m of these continue to smoke and half are killed by their habit, then we are going to have more than 10m tobacco-related deaths a year.
"So in the present century, if we keep on smoking the way we are we will have about 1,000 million deaths," warned the Oxford University Professor.
That is equivalent to about a sixth of the world's current population.

Yeah that is a scary movie alright! I gave up smoking many years ago, and won't be going back, definitely after watching THAT!!
Someone in the top post mentioned a better sex life after giving up! Well i have heard some reasons in my time, but never thought of that one?! Can't say i agree, but then having a house full of kids kind of wears you down!
Great site, thanks all.

I find a great way to wuit smoking is ultimately by changing the behavioural patterns behind it. I am a personal trainer and many of my clients have used the product at www.stop-smoking-today.com because it is a hypnosis product and changes the behaviours. they have seen great results.

Chantix has so many side effects. I agree about the behavioural change it has to be the first place to start

Hey, if I told you about considering Chantix to quit smoking, forget about it.
