摘要:The United States has made great progress in reducing tobacco consumption at home while spending taxpayer money to promote its consumption abroad. 1 While U.S. tobacco consumption rates have fallen dramatically since the 1960s, they are soaring in the developing world. 2 Today, about twenty percent of adults in the world smoke, and more than eighty percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries. 3 As a result, tobacco could kill one billion people this century, and largely in these lower-income countries.
