Tobacco products are the only legally available products that can kill up to one half of their regular users if consumed as recommended by the manufacturer, according to the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. “With its formidable economic and political resources, the tobacco industry is fighting to prevent passage of new tobacco control laws and policies around the world,” according to the International Union. “Article 5.3 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control calls for parties to the treaty to resist these efforts to undermine public health and continue the spiraling pandemic of tobacco-related disease.”
