Smoking now claims more lives in China than in any other country. A study
unveiled in Beijing at the 10th World Conference on Tobacco and Health estimates
that smoking kills 750 000 Chinese each year, pushing into second place the US
toll of 400 000. The study, led by Liu Boqi of the Chinese Academy of Medical
Sciences and Richard Peto of the University of Oxford, predicts that one-third
of the 300 million Chinese men now under the age of 30 will be killed by
cigarettes.
