Nearly 123,000 cancer deaths - or almost 30% of all cancer deaths - in the US in 2019 were linked to cigarette smoking, a new analysis suggests.
Of the 418,563 cancer deaths in adults ages 25 to 79 years, an estimated 122,951 could be linked to cigarette smoking. That corresponds to 29.4% of all cancer deaths and roughly 2.2 million PYLL. Translated to lost earnings, the authors estimated $20.9 billion total, with average lost earnings of $170,000 per cancer death linked to smoking.
The researchers estimated that if PYLL and lost earnings rates in all states matched those in Utah, which has the lowest rates, more than half of the total PYLL and lost earnings nationally would have been avoided. In other words, that would mean 1.27 million PYLL and $10.5 billion saved in 2019.To kick the smoking habit, health providers should"screen patients for tobacco use, document tobacco use status, advise people who smoke to quit, and assist in attempts to quit," Islami says.
To end the"scourge of tobacco," local, state, and federal lawmakers need to pass proven tobacco control policies, she said.
