Every year in the United States,

00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:16,510
more than 480,000 people
die from tobacco use

7
00:00:16,510 --> 00:00:19,520
and exposure to second
hand smoke making it

00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,480
the leading cause of preventable
death in this country.

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,590
Tragically each day thousands of kids

10
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:27,720
still pick up tobacco
products for the first time.

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,610
Smoking and using tobacco products

12
00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:31,850
including cigars and smokeless tobacco

00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:35,350
cause or worsen numerous
diseases and conditions.

14
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:38,410
Tobacco smoke contains
more than 7,000 chemicals

15
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:41,190
including Arsenic, Lead and Tar.

16
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:44,280
Tobacco use can cause heart
disease, lung disease,

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,490
cancer, hospitalizations,
missed work days,

18
00:00:47,490 --> 00:00:50,830
failed fitness evaluations,
impaired night vision

19
00:00:50,830 --> 00:00:52,060
and more.

20
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:54,840
