This is not an encyclopedic topic. It is an informational health article. Rob Banzai (talk) 21:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep seems encyclopaedic to me and notable Ijanderson977 (talk) 21:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Not linked from User:Globalecon/Global_Economics but very similar. --Dhartung | Talk 22:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, with minor merging to Smoking and Tobacco and health. "If you are one of the 1 billion people who smoke, then you might be interested that this article is an essay". Although AFD is not cleanup, most of the non-fluff information here is redundant with that in Smoking and Tobacco and health. Recommend taking any additional verifiable information from this article, merge it, and deep-six this one. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 22:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It's not written in an encyclopaedic style (e.g., "here are some astonishing statistics that you might want to be familiar with"), but even if it were, the "global" statistics seem to have been thrown in gratuitously for an essay about the health consequences of tobacco. It's an essay from start to finish, with selected stats thrown in for persuasive purposes. Mandsford (talk) 23:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Mostly original research and synthesis. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 01:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, seems like a school essay, violates WP:NOR. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
