Excerpt
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Public Health Issues The tobacco pandemic is as sobering as the nwnbers arc staggcring. Without significant interventions, tobacco is poised to kill500 million people presently alivc.' About half of these victims will die in middk age, losing on average 20 to 25 years of lifc.' So not only are farnilies robbed of their loved ones, countries are robbcd of thc cconornic contribution of many victims prime y e a r ~ . ~ Although these facts alone make tobacw a global problem of the first order, tobacco is also quickly taking on a disturbing north-south perspective. Most of the forecasted 10 miilion tobacco deaths per year in the decades to come will occur in the developing world,' as tobacco Company marketing strategies from the past decadc translate into tobacco deaths in the ncxt. No caunhy is immune. The heal* mnomic and social casts of tobacw wnsumption and production touch every country and every straturn in each swiety. It is designed that way by the purveyors of this tragedy.
