Tobacco use risk factors

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in
Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, more than 9,300 people die each year
from smoking. Nationally, tobacco kills more people than motor vehicle
crashes, AIDS, homicides, and poisonings combined.

Approx 13% of people smoke

Though they are not smokers themselves, an estimated 1,000 or more
Massachusetts adults and children die each year from exposure to
secondhand smoke.
