Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education

The Tobacco Control Country Profiles features a comprehensive compilation of statistical information about the world’s most significant cancer risk factor: tobacco use. In the United States, tobacco causes 30% of cancer deaths among men and women. As the tobacco industry intensifies its marketing strategies in developing countries, the proportion of tobacco-attributed deaths worldwide continues to increase. The Tobacco Control Country Profiles is one element in a growing global information system to monitor the pandemic and support international tobacco control efforts.
