Tobacco consumption is the single most readily preventable cause of death in the world.

tobacco use: The word "use" has been suggested to replace the word "abuse." In some contexts, it might be necessary to qualify it to distinguish between different types of use (for example, "harmful use," "hazardous use," "problematic use" or "risky use"). In this case and depending on the context, the reason for the chosen qualifiers should be explained, and the different designations clearly defined. However, some people prefer to avoid qualifying the word "use" as they see this as stigmatizing. 5, record 1, English, - tobacco%20use

consommation de tabac; usage de tabac; utilisation de tabac : Les mots «utilisation», «usage» et «consommation» ont été proposés pour remplacer le mot «abus». Dans certains contextes, il peut être nécessaire de les qualifier (par exemple «utilisation nocive», «usage à risque» ou «utilisation problématique») pour distinguer différents types d'utilisation. Dans ce cas, selon le contexte, le choix de qualificatif doit être expliqué et les désignations choisies, clairement définies. Toutefois, certaines personnes préfèrent ne pas qualifier les mots «utilisation», «usage» ou «consommation», ce qu'elles considèrent comme stigmatisant. 6, record 1, French, - tabagisme

Smoking is a cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can result in the need for lung transplantation. The Office of Tobacco Reduction Programs, Health Promotion and Programs Branch, is the focal point in Health Canada for activity including public education initiatives aimed at reducing tobacco use and smoking prevalence. In support of this work, the Minister of Health announced in May 1999 the creation of an Expert Committee on Nicotine and Tobacco Science, which will provide guidance and advice to Health Canada in developing strategies to reduce tobacco consumption and its accompanying adverse health effects. 1, record 5, English, - Expert%20Committee%20on%20Nicotine%20and%20Tobacco%20Science
