Smoking is the world’s number 1 cause of early death (aka ā€œpremature mortality,ā€ often defined as death before age 70) 8 million people die every year from tobacco consumption or exposure And raising taxes on tobacco can do more to reduce premature mortality than any other single health policy

We quit our bad habits for the sake of our future selves, author Xochitl Gonzalez writes. How naĆÆve of us.
