Smokers are at increased risk of heart disease, lung disease, strokes and cancer to name a few.

Smoking causes 30% of all cancer deaths, 17% of all heart disease deaths and at least 80% of deaths from bronchitis and emphysema.

Smoking kills around 6 times more people in the UK than road traffic accidents, poisoning and overdose, murder, suicide and HIV infection all put together.

Non-smokers are also at risk of these conditions if you inhale other people’s smoke.

It is estimated that several hundred cases of lung cancer and several thousand cases of heart disease in non-smokers in the UK are caused by passive smoking.
