Global data estimates nearly eight million deaths from smoking in 2019

There were nearly eight million deaths associated with smoking in 2019, and 89% of new smokers were addicted by the age of 25, global data suggests. The number of smokers worldwide increased to 1.1 billion in 2019, with tobacco smoking causing 7.7 million deaths – including one in five deaths in males worldwide. Researchers say the global number of smokers continues to rise, and there is particular concern over persistently high rates of smoking among young people. Given that the large majority of new smokers become addicted by age 25, protecting young people from nicotine addiction during this window will be crucial to eliminate tobacco use among the next generation, experts suggest.
