May 31 is the World Health Organization's World No Tobacco Day. This annual event seeks to remind the world that tobacco use is one of our biggest public health issues and a leading cause of chronic illness and death. Globally, 1 in 5 adults or approximately 1.2 billion people are tobacco smokers. In addition, over 300 million people use smokeless tobacco and 35 million use electronic cigarettes.
In this podcast, Emily Fournier discusses the consequences of tobacco on an individual's overall health and quality of life, as well as work performance.
