The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco will become the largest single health problem by 2020, causing an estimated 8.4 million deaths annually. But the smoking burden will not be distributed evenly across the globe; deaths in developed nations are set to rise 50% to 2.4 million while those in Asia will soar fourfold to an estimated 4.2 million in 2020. In the face of such discrepancy, Martin Raw, Honorary Lecturer in evidence-based treatment at Guys, Kings and St Thomas' School of Medicine, London, explains why attention can not be focused solely on Asia and why efforts are still needed to stop smoking in Europe.
