Prediction of a Manmade Pandemic
“Tobacco is fast becoming a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease,” says the WHO.
John Seffrin, CEO of the American Cancer Society, has an even bleaker outlook. “We’re about to witness the largest manmade, tobacco-industry-induced pandemic that the world has ever seen.”
Definition of Pandemic from Wikipedia: A pandemic (from Greek pan all + demos people) is an epidemic of infectious disease that spreads through populations across a large region; for instance a continent, or even worldwide.
