Some 6,000 Cambodians die of cigarette smoking annually, Chinese-language newspaper the Jian Hua Daily on Monday quoted a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) as saying.
Around 28 percent of the kingdom's population, or 4.64 million people, have the habit of smoking, with 54 percent of them being male over 20 years old and the others women and minor, it said.
All Cambodian smokers spend about 16.24 million U.S. dollars per year to buy cigarettes, it added.
Smoking can cut down one's life span by 10 to 20 years, if he smokes more than one pack of cigarettes a day for five to 10 years, the paper quoted local researchers as saying.
The hazardous hobby can lead to cancer, heart attack and tuberculosis, the researchers added.

Good, it better to die calm than
to die killing each other.
Because of Ah Sen Hun's chain smoking and a bad role model, Cambodians will die more by cigarettes.
Well, at least they will died happy
and calm, not as a paranoid
criminals.
Let them died, who care.
Yep, it is their freedom of
choices.
