The women who smoked had an eleven percent higher rate of AMD than the other women.  In women over eighty, those who smoked were five and a half times more likely to develop AMD than the women who did not smoke.  A report on the study was published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology.

People who smoke are not only hurting themselves.  They also can harm non-smokers.  The World Health Organization estimates that secondhand smoke kills six hundred thousand people each year.

The International Union Against Cancer says about seven hundred million children breathe smoke-filled air.  Expectant mothers who smoke are more likely to have babies with health problems and low birth weight.  Such babies may suffer health problems as they grow.

Even after all the warnings, the WHO says one billion three hundred million people still smoke.  The number of smokers is expected to grow to one billion seven hundred million by twenty twenty-five.  Smoking rates have decreased in the United States and Europe.  But rates have risen in other areas.
