Alcohol causes more deaths worldwide each year than tobacco smoking.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that alcohol causes more deaths worldwide each year than tobacco smoking?

Unclear. The retrieved items give tobacco's global death toll (about 4 million a year, one in ten deaths) and US or European figures in which smoking-related deaths exceed alcohol-related ones, but none supplies a worldwide annual alcohol death count, so the head-to-head comparison the claim makes is not settled.
