how many people died from a heart attack due to smoking?

Answer 1

Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases, and reduces quality of life and life expectancy. �It has been estimated that, in England, 364,000 patients are admitted to NHS hospitals each year due to diseases caused by smoking. This translates into 7,000 hospital admissions per week, or 1,000 day. [1] ��For every death caused by smoking, approximately 20 smokers are suffering from a smoking related disease. [2] �In 1997/98, cigarette smoking caused an estimated 480,000 patients to consult their GP for heart disease, 20,000 for stroke and nearly 600,000 for COPD. 1 ���

�

Half of all teenagers who are currently smoking will die from diseases caused by tobacco if they continue to smoke.� One quarter will die after 70 years of age and one quarter before, with those dying before 70 losing on average 21 years of life. [3] �It is estimated that between 1950 and 2000 six million Britons, 60 million people worldwide, died from tobacco-related diseases. [4]�
