Lets add this up...
600 million trees decapitated
200,000 hectares of production land
22 billion tons of water ration
84 million tons of CO2 emissions
7,000 toxic chemical littering
4.5 trillion butts discarded
with the equivalent of one-fifth of the global airline industry's carbon footprint.
...do we get the picture?

That's a little misleading, I think. Nicotine is not responsible for the harmful effects of smoking. (Although it does cause addiction.) Green tobacco sickness is a different condition.
