Issues Andorra
Tobacco harms the health, the treasury, and the spirit of Andorra. Every year, more than 52 of its people are killed by tobacco-caused disease. Still, more than 150 children (10-14 years old) and 14560 adults (15+ years old) continue to use tobacco each day.Complacency in the face of the tobacco epidemic insulates the tobacco industry in Andorra and ensures that tobacco's death tollwill grow every year. Tobacco control advocates must reach out to other communities and resources to strengthen their effortsand create change.
