13. KILLER WEED
The Portuguese introduced tobacco in India 400
years ago. Tobacco consumption has been rising
from that time.
The tobacco fact sheet is scary. Tobacco is the
second major cause of death in the world. It is
currently responsible for the death of one in 10
adults worldwide (about five million deaths each
year). If current smoking pattern continue, it
will cause some 10 million deaths each year by
2020. Half the people that smoke today – that is
about 650 million people – will eventually be
killed by tobacco.
According to the Indian Council for Medical
Research (ICMR) the cost of treating tobacco
related disorders like COPD, CAD and cancers
was Rs. 2,776 crores whereas the value of
tobacco products sold nation wide was about Rs.
24,400 crores. If this trend goes unchecked 13
per cent of all deaths in India would be solely
due to tobacco. Eight lakh people die every year,
2,200 deaths per day and 90 per hour.
