(ZEROHEDGE) – Globally, rates of tobacco use have been falling for decades. Today, it is estimated that one-in-five people around the world use tobacco products, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO).
That’s still enough people to have a sizable impact on both global healthcare and the environment. And the prevalence of tobacco use by country, and by sex, varies widely.
In almost every country, males use tobacco more than females. Globally, 36% of men are tobacco users compared to just 8% of women.
