Smoking Could Kill As Many As 8 Million People Annually

Social Security disability benefits may be available if you have been diagnosed with a severe health condition that prevents you from working.

According to a report from U.S. News Health, smoking could kill as many as 8 million people annually by the year 2030. And according to the World Health Organization (WHO), this is largely a result of lacking government intervention, not only in the way of encouraging smokers to quit but in preventing exposure to secondhand smoke.

The WHO would like to see governments implement their tobacco control treaty which would do the following: 

• cut rates of smoking;
• limit secondhand smoke exposure; and
• reduce promotion and advertising of tobacco products.
  
  

Although the United States, along with other countries, has signed the treaty, there still hasn't been enough done in their view to stop smoking.

Smoking can lead to serious medical problems that can become debilitating. If you are suffering from a condition that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months, then you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
