People who smoke and drugs have a higher health risk than those who use illegal drugs show a report on global statistics on alcohol consumption, tobacco, and illegal drugs published in the magazine Education.
The report used data from the World Health Organisation (OBSH), the UN Office on Drug Abuse.
The data shows that about 18 percent of people consumed worldwide 60 grams [60 g] of alcohol daily, and 15 percent consumed tobacco products daily.
About 3.8% said they used marijuana during the year, 0.77% received amphetamines, 0.37% opium and 0.55 cocaine.
The most notorious consumers of large quantities of alcohol are registered in Central, Eastern, and Western Europe, where per capita residents consume 11 to 12 quarts [11 - 12 liters] of alcohol compared with 6 quarts [6 L] of per capita consumption in other countries in the world.
In the same areas, the highest rate of daily consumption in tobacco has also been recorded. It's about 21 to 24% of the general population.
The highest mortality rate is related to smoking. For every 100,000 deaths in 2015, 110 were associated with smoking, while only 33 were consuming alcohol and 7 with the taking of illegal drugs.
