| “ | In spite of these challenges, many health organizations worldwide remain unequivocal about tobacco's deleterious effects: the World Health Organization estimated in 2002 that in developed countries, 26% of male deaths and 9% of female deaths were attributable to smoking. Similarly, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes tobacco use as "the single most important preventable risk to human health in developed countries and an important cause of premature death worldwide." | ” |

- This is a scientific article, the positions of major health organizations is based off of scientific evidence as to political positions. The report from WHO is a synthesis report, taking those scientific sources and placing them in context for policy makers. This article provides how these conclusions are reached through scientific analysis, not through political positions. Political positions are deferred to the main article Tobacco politics.
- "26% of male deaths and 9% of female deaths" is not with in either of the two sources provided. Likewise this statistics is already provided in the last paragraph in the subsection "Prevalence" with " 5.4 million are tobacco-attributed, and 4.9 million as of 2007".(page 23),
- The quotation from the CDC is not within the source.
For these reasons, edits made by said anons have been removed. They may not be added under WP:CON until a consensus may be achieved; failure to abstain after the third revert (WP:3RR), or failure to engage in civil discussion whiling engaging in reverts(WP:EW) will result in a block.
