英医学誌ランセットは２７日、２０１９年に喫煙を原因として世界で７６９万人が死亡したとする論文を掲載した。
日本は２０万人で６番目に多かった。
喫煙は各国で死因として高い割合を占めており、たばこ増税や広告の禁止など、厳しい措置で抑制するよう求めている。
男女別では、男性が６１８万人と８割を占めた。国別では中国（２４２万人）が最も多く、
２位がインド（１０１万人）、３位が米国（５３万人）。
人口１０万人当たりでは、ブルガリア（２９８人）やモンテネグロ（２８４人）など中欧諸国が特に多かった。
日本は１５６人で、世界平均（９９人）を上回った。

死にたいんでしょｗ
I have pretty much to say about Mrs. Koike, the governoress of Tokyo, who uses a lot of strange and unintelligible loan words, e.g. "lock-down", "over-shoot", and "Aufheben".
However, first of all, her usage of the language reminds me of that of the German philosophers in the 19th century, who almost seem to have played the game to compete in how difficult sentences they could make.
No doubt, the European learned man at that time thought that the frequent using of unfamiliar words (including loan words from Latin and French) and difficult syntax made him seem more intellectual.
It goes without saying that the language is the device with which we send ideas to others. Hence, it is as clear as crystal that the language plain enough for many men to understand is far more useful than that which only a few intellectual elites can comprehend.
Therefore, in my homeland, the United States, such old-fashioned intellectuals can no longer be respected, or at any rate, seldom be chosen as political leaders. I am inclined to ask Japanese people in what century they think they are living. last-modified: 2021-05-30 17:30:10
