In a White House fact sheet issued prior to President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union speech, the Biden Administration announced that it would “[t]ackl[e] the biggest single driver of cancer deaths in this country—smoking.” 1 Smoking causes 30% of all cancer deaths and 80% of lung cancer deaths. Peaking in 1990, the age-adjusted male ...
This disparity has increased over time. 1 People in rural vs urban areas are more likely to die prematurely, 2 which has been associated with reduced health care access and smoking cessation barriers. 3 Lower smoking cessation rates 4 could also be factors in increased morbidity and mortality burden in rural residents. 2 Herein, we estimated ...
First, smoking status was based on self-report and lacked biochemical verification, potentially resulting in classification errors. However, self-reported measurements of smoking status generally have high sensitivity and specificity compared with the results of biochemical validation. 46 Hence, the misclassification rate should be low. Second ...
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the US. In 2014, it was estimated that 480 000 deaths annually are attributed to cigarette smoking, including second hand smoke. 1 Smoking during pregnancy can increase the risk for miscarriage, congenital anomalies, stillbirth, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, placental abruption, and complications in ...
Tobacco Use—United States, 1900-1999. Smoking—once a socially accepted behavior—is the leading preventable cause of death and disability in the United States. During the first decades of the 20th century, lung cancer was rare; however, as cigarette smoking became increasingly popular, first among men and later among women, the incidence ...
However, this study’s model estimated fewer smoking-attributable deaths averted during a longer period owing to the model’s projections of lower smoking prevalence in the baseline scenario compared with the projections of Levy et al. 3 Recent studies have found that smoking rates among US youths and young adults have decreased at especially ...
B, Annualized rate of change in age-standardized prevalence by sex from 1980 to 2012. Annualized rates of change are plotted at the beginning of the time interval they correspond to (eg, the rate of change shown for 2011 is the rate of change between 2011 and 2012). Shaded areas designate 95% uncertainty intervals. Interactive data display.
Underage youth smoking patterns were examined for decades. Reductions in youth smoking rates were seen by tobacco companies as a negative trend for the companies. Specific marketing campaigns were directed at underage youth and were successful with this age group. Tobacco industry practices should continue to be carefully scrutinized.
Smoking continues to have a substantial adverse impact on the public health of the US population, with current estimates of more than 480 000 deaths in the US attributable to smoking and secondhand smoke exposure annually. 1 Historically, most adult smokers in the US began smoking before age 18 years. 1,2 Among adult smokers aged 30 to 39 years ...
According to existing smoking data among the US population, these characteristics are associated with high smoking prevalence. 34 Smoking rates are highest among young people and decline with increasing age. 34 Furthermore, the higher smoking prevalence among SRC survivors (compared with NSRC survivors) may also be driven by lower income and ...
