Cigarette smoking is one of the leading preventable causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (Doll et al., 2004) and has been implicated as the single largest cause of ailments such as asthma, chronic cough, cancers, chronic obstructive airways disease, cardiovascular diseases and premature death (Odeyemi et al., 2009). Smoking is an important global public health problem, due to the immediate and long-term health issues associated with it (World Health Organization [WHO], 2012). Research has shown that mortality rate attributable to smoking, far exceeds a combination of death from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis (Center for Disease Control [CDC], 2007; 2010). According to WHO, (2012), tobacco presently causes nearly 6 million deaths globally each year and is expected to cause over 8 million deaths annually by 2030, if unchecked, 80% of these deaths will be in low- and middle-income countries including Nigeria. Also, it is estimated that the total number of deaths attributable to smoking worldwide will increase from 2.5 million in 1995 to 12 million by the year 2050 (WHO, 2013a).
