全球每年约有600万人因吸烟而死亡,平均约每6秒就有1人死于吸烟相关疾病;吸烟者中,会有一半因吸烟而过早死亡。吸烟不仅损害吸烟者的健康,也给非吸烟者带来严重的伤害。尽管我们大多数人都知道,烟草可导致肺癌,但对烟草可引起心肌梗死、中风,却知之甚少,对二手烟给不吸烟者带来的危害的认知情况也不容乐观,且烟草公司鼓吹的“低焦油等于低危害”的错误观点也普遍存在。 About 6 million people die of smoking each year globally, and on average about 1 in 6 seconds die from smoking-related diseases; half of smokers die prematurely from smoking. Smoking not only damages the health of smokers but also causes serious harm to non-smokers. Although most of us know that tobacco can cause lung cancer, little is known about tobacco-induced myocardial infarction and stroke, nor is there any optimism about the dangers of secondhand smoke to non-smokers, and tobacco companies The erroneous assertion that “low tar equals low hazard” is also prevalent.
