问题     One hundred countries representing 4.5 billion people have signed the global treaty aimed at curbing tobacco use, which now claims nearly 5 million lives every year and causes an estimated an num net loss of $200 billion in treatment and lost productivity, the United Nations health agency reported.
    The treaty requires signed countries to restrict tobacco advertising, sponsorship and promotion, set new labeling and clean indoor air controls and strengthen legislation to clamp down on tobacco smuggling.
    At the time of its unanimous adoption last May by WHO’s 192 members, the agency warned that the annual death toll of 4.9 million, if left unchecked, could double by 2020.
    The tobacco epidemic is still expanding, especially in developing countries where currently seven out of every 10 tobacco-related deaths occur, according to WHO. At current rates, the total number of tobacco users is expected to rise to 1.7 billion by 2025 from 1.3 billion now.
    The European Community (EC) has also signed the treaty as a regional economic integration organization, while its member states sign and ratify the treaty individually.
选项
答案 据美国卫生署报道，代表45亿人口的100个国家签署了旨在控制烟草使用的全球条约。每年大约有500万人死于烟草使用，并在治疗及生产率等方面造成的净损失达2000亿美元。 条约要求签署国必须限制烟草广告、烟草赞助及烟草促销等活动，并设立新的标志，采取室内空气净化控制，同时加强立法工作严禁烟草走私活动。， 当世界卫生组织的192个成员国一致通过该条约时，卫生署警告说，现在每年的总死亡人数已达到49亿，如果对这一现象置之不理，那么到2020年这一数字将翻一番。 据世界卫生组织说，现在烟草流行病仍在扩散中，尤其在发展中国家，70%的死亡与烟草有关。照目前的速度来看，到2025年，烟草使用者将从现在的13亿上升至17亿。 在欧洲共同体的组织成员各自签署并批准这项条约时，欧共作为一个区域经济整体组织也签署了该条约。
