The world is a scary place to live in. When a child is born, every parent wishes for their offspring to grow peacefully and reach old age. Obviously, we all are going to die at some time in the future, but we prefer to be in the best health and die in our (very) old age. None us wishes to die prematurely from cancer, or a stroke, or be hit by a car. This is obvious.

Nonetheless, 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 major 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 literally a thing that each one of us can avoid, and by doing so, significantly change our health and live longer. Not to mention that by doing so, we alsoraise our budget and shield our children 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 guidelines that could help you to prevent these early deaths. Our goal is, quite literally, to get our readers to live longer. Hey, even if one person changes his or her lifestyle as a result of our guidelines 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 think so too.
