Did you know... 15 billion cigarettes are smoked worldwide everyday?

[AksarbeN]

I know where all of those cigarette butts are tossed away and laying!

[Nomadicus]

That's a lot of air pollution and coffin nails.

If 1/3rd of those are smoked in the US that is approx $1.25 billion a day in taxes. No wonder the Government isn't serious about stopping it.

[the minx]

My coworker smells like she smokes 14 billion of those. lol.

This is so sad, and it can be prevented:
It is estimated that approximately 400,000 people die each year from tobacco smoke.
About 1200 people die each day from tobacco use.

With six billion people in the world, that's about 2.5 cigarettes per person on the average.
