Smokers and even non-smokers know that smoking is bad for their health. But the doctors and scientists have had the same message about tobacco and smoking, "Using tobacco is harmful for smokers and the people around them."
Unfortunately many people haven't heard the message, or they're not assured that it is truth what is saying in message.
A group of anti-cancer organizations have gathered information and data about smoking and its effects into a new online resource.
Doctor Thomas Glynn heads the international cancer control section at the American Cancer Society said that they wanted to present information about the health effects of tobacco in a new way, for to get the word out to the billion men and about 250 million women around the world who light up every day.
"There is no one who smokes for very long who is not going to become sickened by it in one way or another, either from a lung disease such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema, or from a cancer, or from heart disease," Glynn added.
There are no persons who are immune from becoming sick from smoking. And also it is know that as many as half of people who use tobacco over a lifetime will die because from their tobacco use.
Mr. Glynn showed in a previous study the negative effects of tobacco extend beyond simply worsen health. But this time he found that tobacco contributes to environmental degradation.
"There are about 10 million acres worldwide devoted to tobacco growth. And tobacco, as any agronomist knows, really depletes the soil. It takes a lot of manpower to grow it and to process it," Glynn explained.
A field that has been used for tobacco is often unfit for anything else for some period of time. It also requires a lot of curing, which means a lot of burning, which means a lot of trees. And, so deforestation also becomes an issue.
Glynn said that even though there's so much information about the problems associated with smoking, more and more people are taking up the habit, especially in the developing world.
Tobacco Companies begin also marketing to women more and more tobacco products. In China for example about 6 percent of women across China are using tobacco.
