Why Is This Important?
Tobacco use is a leading cause of the chronic diseases, particularly heart disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, and stroke. It is the single most preventable cause of death in Arkansas. Tobacco use kills close to 5,000 people in Arkansas each year, which makes it one of the biggest causes of short life expectancy in our state. By tobacco use, we mean smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes, or using any form of smokeless tobacco.
