WHO Wants To Raise Taxes On Tobacco To Discourage Smoking

The World Health Organization urges more countries to raise tobacco taxes in its efforts to drastically bring down the number of smokers worldwide. The recommendation comes from the fifth in a series of reports looking at the effects of the worldwide tobacco epidemic and suggestions on ways to stop it. WHO points out that the number of smokers has declined in participating countries, but overall the worldwide count is still high.
