They found that tobacco was responsible for 2,534 of the 7,588 deaths between the age group of 35-69. "Going by the present trend, about one-third of all young men in China would die due to tobacco consumption,' concluded Richard Peto, lead author of the study and an epidemiologist at the Oxford University, the uk.
