Smoking is a known cause of erectile dysfunction in males. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Worldwide, tobacco use causes nearly 6 million deaths per year, and current trends show that tobacco use will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030. 2 Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure.
Tobacco use continues to be the underlying cause of the greatest number of deaths in the United States, according to an analysis of actual causes of death by researchers at the CDC. However, poor diet/ lack of physical activity, currently ranked number 2, is expected to surpass smoking as the prevailing underlying cause of death by 2005. Tobacco use was linked to 435,000 deaths in 2000 or 18.1% of total deaths. Poor diet/physical inactivity accounted for 400,000 deaths, or 16.6% of deaths, in 2000 (Cover Figure).
