CHINA-HEALTH-TOBACCO
A woman smokes a cigarette at a bar in Beijing on 16 October, 2008. Tobacco use and smoke from coal and wood are likely to claim tens of millions of lives in China over the next quarter-century, according to a study published online earlier this month by the British journal The Lancet. Smoke from tobacco, biomass and coal will kill 53.3 million Chinese from chronic respiratory illnesses and 13.5 million from lung cancer during the period from 2003 to 2033, its authors calculated, using the current rate of exposure as a benchmark.
