Tobacco use is estimated to have caused nearly 120,000 deaths across India in 2010, according to research carried out by the Toronto-based Centre for Global Health Research(CGHR) in partnership with Mumbai’s Tata Memorial Hospital.
Nearly 600,000 Indians die of cancer every year – over seven in 10 deaths (71%) taking place in the 30-69 age group, the most productive period of a person’s life, says the report published in the latest issue of the Lancet medical journal.
Kerala has the third cumulative risk of dying from cancer - 7.6 per cent for working age men, the study reports.
The Lancet report has received widespread media attention.
