   Joyce Beitel, M.D., medical director for Carle Nicotine Recovery Services, pointed out the critical need to help students resist use of tobacco products quoting statistics from the Institute of Medicine National Research Council. She said, "The stakes are high. Tobacco use kills more Americans each year than any other cause. The estimated 430,000 deaths attributed to tobacco use annually are far more than those caused by illegal drugs, homicides, suicides, AIDS, motor vehicle accidents, and alcohol combined. Lung cancer kills more Americans than breast and prostate cancer combined, and tobacco accounts for over 30% of all cancer deaths and a comparable fraction of deaths due to heart and lung diseases. Yet despite these risks, each day, 3000 young people become regular smokers. One-half of them will be addicted to tobacco before they are legally old enough to buy cigarettes, and one-third will eventually die from smoking-related illness." she pointed out.
