Smoking AddictionSmoking addiction includes cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco, although smoking cigarettes represents the most substantial problem within the smoking addiction. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists tobacco as the second largest cause of death in the world, amounting to 5 million deaths every year from smoking-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive lung disease and lung cancer. They believe that figure could double by the year 2020 (See Statistics).
