Chewing tobacco contributed to an estimated 251K deaths worldwide in 2023, according to a new IHME study published this week in @lancetgh.bsky.social. • Read the study: ms.spr.ly/63320alSap. The research was supported by @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social and the Gates Foundation.
Graphic with a white background and an orange pill-shaped label at the top reading "CHEWING TOBACCO" in bold dark text. Below, dark text states "More than 90% of chewing tobacco-related deaths and disability burden were concentrated in 10 countries for each sex in 2023," with "90%" and "10 countries" emphasized in bold. A light pink box beneath lists two groups: "Among males," naming India, Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, Myanmar, United States, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Madagascar; and "Among females," naming India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Nepal. The IHME logo, in dark text on an orange rounded banner, appears in the bottom right corner.
