Death’s Caused by Tobacco in French

In France , Around 66 000 people die each year from tobacco (over 10% of deaths) of which 27 000 per lung cancer (85% were caused by smoking) by the National League against Cancer. For a smoker in four, the average loss of life expectancy is twenty years and results in death before 65 years, according to a study by the Regional Health Observatory of Ile-de-France.

France has about 15 million smokers are young people between 20 and 25 who smoke the most (48% of the age by OFDT).

Compared to a non-smoker, the risk of cancer of a smoker is multiplied by:

10 for lung and pharynx
7 to the pharynx.
for the mouth and esophagus
2 for the bladder.

The incidence of lung cancer is proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. This frequency has already increased from 5 cigarettes per day. Indeed if one smokes 5 x 365 days for 15 to 20 years, this represents tens of thousands of cigarettes.
