Our world is a scary place. When a child is born, every parent wishes for the newborn to live and reach old age. Clearly, we all are going to die at some time in the future, but we prefer to be in good health and die in our old age. None us wishes to die prematurely from breast cancer, or a heart attack, or be hit by a car. This is obvious.

Unfortunately, there are too many reasons why people die before their time. Many of those reasons are natural in origin (diseases, viruses, bacteria), but many are man-made (pollutants, car accidents), and most - ironically, the biggest causes of death - are actually a result of our very own choices (smoking, obesity, alcohol drinking).

Perhaps surprisingly, the most common cause of death worldwide is smoking. This is definitely a thing that we can all avoid, and by doing so, significantly improve our health and live longer. Not to mention that by doing so, we alsoincrease our budget and shield our kids from the damage we cause to them.

In our site, Cause of Death, we survey the top causes of death and elaborate, quite thoroughly, the 6 most common reasons people die prematurely.

Furthermore, we offer practical advice that could help our readers to avoid these untimely deaths. Our goal is, literally, to get you to live longer. Hey, even if one person changes his or her lifestyle as a result of our advice and lives longer, then our mission has been successfully accomplished. It is as the Talmud says: “To save one life is as if you have saved the world”. We completely agree.
