The World Health Organization stated in a 2008 report that noncommunicable diseases are surpassing communicable diseases in the cause of death globally. Prevention, education and awareness can prevent 80% of premature deaths. The result would be a significant decrease in the cost of health care due to a decrease in health risk factors such as tobacco use and obesity.
