World No Tobacco Day: Illicit tobacco trade still a menace
Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people each year, globally. Unless we act now, the epidemic will kill over 8 million people every year by 2030 as estimated by the World Health Organisation. More than 80% of these preventable deaths would occur in low- and middle-income countries. To put a stop to these events countries are constantly defining ways to curb tobacco consumption. Tax and price policies are widely recognized as most effective for reducing demand for and consumption of tobacco products along with strong pictorial warnings.
