Tobacco smoking stands as a significant global health crisis, affecting millions worldwide and leading to severe health complications and premature deaths. This issue has persisted for decades, with an estimated 100 million people succumbing prematurely due to smoking-related causes throughout the 20th century, predominantly in affluent nations. However, a decline in the global smoking rate signals a positive shift in global health, potentially enabling millions to enjoy longer, healthier lives.

Annually, smoking is responsible for approximately 8 million premature deaths. These figures highlight the urgent need for effective measures to combat this epidemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) provide critical data on the mortality rates associated with tobacco use, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. According to the latest WHO estimates as of November 2023, over 8 million people die each year due to tobacco use, with more than 7 million of these deaths directly linked to smoking. Additionally, around 1.3 million nonsmokers die from exposure to second-hand smoke. The IHME's Global Burden of Disease study further supports these findings, estimating that 8.7 million deaths annually can be attributed to tobacco use, including 7.7 million from smoking and 1.3 million from second-hand smoke exposure, alongside an additional 56,000 deaths from chewing tobacco.

The impact of smoking on mortality is disproportionately higher among men, who account for 71% of premature deaths due to smoking. This disparity underscores the need for targeted interventions that address the specific risks and behaviors associated with smoking among different demographics.

Understanding the vast death toll from tobacco use requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses all forms of tobacco consumption, including smoking and chewing tobacco. The data indicate that the vast majority of tobacco-related deaths are due to smoking, with figures from the IHME suggesting that smoking-related deaths constitute more than 99.9% of all tobacco-use deaths. This emphasizes the critical importance of focusing public health efforts on reducing smoking rates to mitigate the overall impact of tobacco on global health.

The interactive charts and studies provided by organizations like the WHO and IHME offer valuable insights into the global and regional dynamics of smoking-related health issues. These resources allow for a detailed examination of smoking trends and their health consequences, facilitating evidence-based policy-making and public health strategies aimed at reducing smoking prevalence and its associated health burden.

Efforts to combat smoking must take into account the various factors that contribute to its prevalence, including societal norms, economic factors, and the addictive nature of nicotine. Public health campaigns, legislative measures, and support programs for those trying to quit smoking are essential components of a comprehensive strategy to address this issue.

Furthermore, research into the health effects of smoking and the mechanisms by which it contributes to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses is crucial for developing effective treatments and prevention strategies. By understanding the full scope of smoking's impact on health, researchers and policymakers can better target interventions to reduce smoking rates and improve public health outcomes.

In conclusion, the global health crisis posed by tobacco smoking is a multifaceted issue that requires concerted efforts from governments, public health organizations, and communities worldwide. The declining trend in smoking rates offers hope, but the continued high prevalence of smoking-related deaths underscores the need for ongoing action. Through research, public health initiatives, and policy interventions, it is possible to further reduce smoking rates and alleviate the tremendous health burden it imposes on societies around the globe.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains information on the prevalence and trends of tobacco use in the United States. The data is broken down by state, and includes percentages of smokers, former smokers, and those who have never smoked. With this dataset you can explore how smoking habits have changed over time as well as what regions of the country have seen more or less consistent smoking trends.

To begin using this dataset, you will first want to familiarize yourself with the columns included within it and their associated values. There is a “State” column that provides the US state for which each row refers to; there are also columns detailing percentages for those who smoke every day (Smoke Everyday), some days (Smoke Some Days), previously smoked (Former Smoker) and those who have never smoked (Never Smoked). The “Location 1” column indicates each geographic region that falls into one of either four US census divisions or eight regions based upon where each state lies in relation to one another.

Once you understand the data presented within these columns, there are a few different ways to begin exploring how tobacco use has changed throughout time including plotting prevalence data over different periods such as decades or specific years; compiling descriptive statistics such as percentiles or mean values; contrasting between states based on any relevant factors such as urban/rural population size or economic/political standing; and lastly looking at patterns developing throughout multiple years via various visualisations like box-and-whisker plots amongst other alternatives.

This wide set of possibilities makes this dataset interesting enough regardless if you are looking at regional differences across single points in time or long-term changes regarding national strategies around reducing nicotine consumption. With all its nuances uncovered hopefully your results can lead towards further research uncovering any aspect about smoking culture you may find fascinating!

BackgroundThe association between smoking and suicide is still controversial, particular for early life cigarette smoking exposure. Few studies have investigated this association in adolescents using population-based cohorts, and the relationship with second hand smoking (SHS) exposure has not been addressed.Methods and FindingsIn this study, we followed a large population-based sample of younger people to investigate the association between smoking, SHS exposure and suicide mortality. Between October 1995 and June 1996, 162,682 junior high school students ages 11 to 16 years old living in a geographic catchment area in Taiwan were enrolled and then followed till December 2007 (1,948,432 person-years) through linkage to the National Death Certification System. Participants who were currently smoking at baseline had a greater than six-fold higher suicide mortality than those who did not smoke (29.5 vs. 4.8 per 100,000 person-years, p20 cigarettes/per day) were 9.6% and 10.6%, respectively.ConclusionsThis study showed evidence of excess suicide mortality among young adults exposed to active or passive early life cigarette smoking.

As of 2023, the U.S. states with the highest smoking rates included West Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana. In West Virginia, around 20 percent of all adults smoked as of this time. The number of smokers in the United States has decreased over the past decades. Who smokes? The smoking rates for both men and women have decreased for many years, but men continue to smoke at higher rates than women. As of 2021, around 13 percent of men were smokers compared to 10 percent of women. Concerning race and ethnicity, smoking is least prevalent among Asians with just five percent of this population smoking compared to 13 percent of non-Hispanic whites. Health impacts of smoking The negative health impacts of smoking are vast. Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and many different types of cancers. For example, smoking is estimated to be attributable to 81 percent of all deaths from lung cancer among adults 30 years and older in the United States. Smoking is currently the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.

This statistical bulletin presents a range of information on smoking, drawn together from a variety of sources. The topics covered include: hospital admissions and deaths attributable to smoking smoking among adults and school children smoking in pregnancy behaviour and attitudes towards smoking economic costs associated with tobacco The bulletin also summaries government plans and targets in this area.

Smoking is so common, and feels so familiar, that it can be hard to grasp just how large the impact is. Every year, around 8 million people die prematurely as a result of smoking.1 This means that about one in seven deaths worldwide are due to smoking.2 Millions more live in poor health because of it.

Smoking primarily contributes to early deaths through heart diseases and cancers. Globally, more than one in five cancer deaths are attributed to smoking.

This means tobacco kills more people every day than terrorism kills in a year.

Smoking is a particularly large problem in high-income countries. There, cigarette smoking is the most important cause of preventable disease and death. This is especially true for men: they account for almost three-quarters of deaths from smoking.

The impact of smoking is devastating on the individual level. In case you need some motivation to stop smoking: The life expectancy of those who smoke regularly is about 10 years lower than that of non-smokers.

It’s also devastating on the aggregate level. In the past 30 years more than 200 million have died from smoking. Looking into the future, epidemiologists Prabhat Jha and Richard Peto estimate that “If current smoking patterns persist, tobacco will kill about 1 billion people this century.”

It is on us to prevent this.

The Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey was conducted for Health Canada to provide data on tobacco use and related issues. The primary objective of the survey is to track changes in smoking status, especially for population most at risk, such as the 15-24 years olds. The survey will allow Health Canada to estimate smoking prevalence for age groups 15-24 and 25+ by province and by gender on a semi-annual basis. The survey is presented in three cycles: Cycle 1 - taken Feb-June 2000; Cycle 2 - taken July-Dec 2000; and Cycle Annual - combining both time periods. Each cycle contains two files; household data, and person data.

The prevalence of smoking in Brazil has decreased considerably in recent decades, but the country still has a high burden of disease associated with this risk factor. The study aimed to estimate the burden of mortality, morbidity, and costs for society associated with smoking in 2015 and the potential impact on health outcomes and the economy based on price increases for cigarettes through taxes. Two models were developed: the first is a mathematical model based on a probabilistic microsimulation of thousands of individuals using hypothetical cohorts that considered the natural history, costs, and quality of life of these individuals. The second is a tax model applied to estimate the economic benefit and health outcomes in different price increase scenarios in 10 years. Smoking was responsible for 156,337 deaths, 4.2 million years of potential life lost, 229,071 acute myocardial infarctions, 59,509 strokes, and 77,500 cancer diagnoses. The total cost was BRL 56.9 billion (USD 14.7 billion), with 70% corresponding to the direct cost associated with healthcare and the rest to indirect cost due to lost productivity from premature death and disability. A 50% increase in cigarette prices would avoid 136,482 deaths, 507,451 cases of cardiovascular diseases, 64,382 cases of cancer, and 100,365 cases of stroke. The estimated economic benefit would be BRL 97.9 billion (USD 25.5 billion). In conclusion, the burden of disease and economic losses associated with smoking is high in Brazil, and tax increases are capable of averting deaths, illness, and costs to society.
