A pack of cigarettes a day more than doubles the risk of suicide
(每日一包菸，自殺風險增2.79倍) - September 6, 2011
Speaking at the 5th Cross-Strait Conference on Tobacco Control, Dr. Chi Pang Wen described how smoking more than doubled the risks of suicide among smokers. Risks of suicide increased along with the amount of smoking. The effect was even more pronounced in mental patients that smoked, who experienced a 44-fold risk increase in the risk of suicide. Dr. Wen therefore called for effective tobacco control and exercise promotion policies to reduce the overall risk of suicide among the population.
