According to WHO, about 600,000 people die every year from passive smoking
In 2017, the predominant causes of tobacco-attributable deaths in females were COPD (116.50 thousand, 95% UI = 87.55154.03), IHD (111.92 thousand, 95% UI = 99.14127.30), stroke (86.71 thousand, 95% UI = 73.09102.05), and tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (68.20 thousand, 95% UI = 58.5479.03), which accounted for 82.03% of the tobacco-attributable deaths in females in 2017
All methods were carried out in accordance with Helsinki Declaration and relevant guidelines and regulations
