WASHINGTON - Tobacco use will kill 6 million people next year from cancer, heart disease, emphysema and a range of other ills.
The new Tobacco Atlas from the World Lung Foundation and the American Cancer Society estimates that tobacco use costs the global economy $500 billion a year in direct medical expenses, lost productivity and environmental harm.

"Tobacco accounts for one out of every 10 deaths worldwide " the report said.

Last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on launched a tobacco center to oversee cigarettes and other related products, after winning the power to do so from Congress in June. On Tuesday it set up a committee of advisers to help guide it.

Some other findings from the report, available at http://www.tobaccoatlas.org/:
+ 1 billion men smoke.

+ About 250 million women smoke daily.
+ Smoking rates among women are either stable or increasing in several southern, central and eastern European countries.
+ Tobacco kills one-third to one-half of those who smoke. Smokers die an average of 15 years earlier than nonsmokers.
+ 50 million Chinese children, mostly boys, will die prematurely from tobacco-related diseases.
+ Tobacco use will eventually kill 250 million of today's teenagers and children.
+ Nearly one-quarter of young people who smoke tried their first cigarette before the age of 10.
+ Occupational exposure to secondhand smoke kills 200,000 workers every year.
+ One hundred million people were killed by tobacco in the 20th century.
