Secondhand smoke globally kills more than 600,000 people each year, accounting for 1 percent of all deaths worldwide, according to a new study. . . .
Researchers estimated that annually secondhand smoke causes about 379,000 deaths from heart disease, 165,000 deaths from lower respiratory disease, 36,900 deaths from asthma, and 21,400 deaths from lung cancer.
Children account for about 165,000 of the deaths, according to the researchers. . . .
The study found that 40 percent of children and 30 percent of adults regularly breathe in secondhand smoke.
Nationally, secondhand smoke causes 46,000 deaths from heart disease each year. . . .
If the average adult produces $110,000 of output per year, how much output is lost annually as a result of adult deaths from secondhand smoke?
You have to break up the numbers individually. Total death = 379,000+ 165,000+ 36,900+21,400 = 602,300
minus the children - 165,000
= 437,300
then times 110,000 = 48.1 billion
435,000×$28,000=12.1 billion
48,000,000
If the average adult produces $20,000 of output per year, how much global output is lost annually as a result of adult deaths from secondhand smoke?

600,000 total deaths
165,000 children
435,000 adults
435,00 times $110,00 output per year = $47,859,000,000
