WHO Fact Sheet: Tobacco
2023
This fact sheet from the World Health Organization provides an overview of tobacco, including related causes of death, ways to reduce tobacco demand, novel and emerging nicotine and tobacco products, and the WHO's response. Tobacco kills up to half of its users, and over 80 percent of those users live in low- and middle-income countries. While the WHO has put in place the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) as of 2003, tobacco is still used widely.
