Passive Smoking a Global Threat
Almost 95% of the world's population is not protected by laws banning smoking, the World Heath Organization says.
In its second major report on the "tobacco epidemic", the UN agency said second-hand or passive smoking killed nearly 600,000 people each year. The WHO said seven new countries passed comprehensive smoke-free laws in 2008, taking the world total to a mere 17.
It warned that tobacco is still the leading preventable cause of death, killing five million people every year.
Wait a minute.... The Who... aren't they this year's Super Bowl half time music entertainment?
