Tobacco Facts - Did you know?

Tobacco use causes more premature deaths than any other health-risk behavior in the United States (CDC, 2002; USDHHS, 2004). According to the 2008 update to the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking, smoking cigarettes harms nearly every organ in the body. New evidence shows that tobacco use causes or contributes to more diseases than known previously, including oral, stomach and uterine cancer, cataracts, and worsened health status generally. Reductions in adult tobacco use would result in decreased exposure to secondhand smoke, a serious health risk for smoking-related diseases, for all Floridians. When adults abstain from tobacco, they promote social norms that smoking is not acceptable behavior. This impacts the decision making regarding tobacco use in youth.
