Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Surgeon General has identified smoking as the leading preventable cause of illness and death in the United States, responsible for approximately 480,000 deaths each year. Violence, alcoholism, and high-fat diets are significant health concerns but do not have the same level of impact on mortality rates as smoking.
