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.

📊 Column Descriptions

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. Adult smoking prevalence in California, males and females aged 18+, starting in 2012. Caution must be used when comparing the percentages of smokers over time as the definition of ‘current smoker’ was broadened in 1996, and the survey methods were changed in 2012. Current cigarette smoking is defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and now smoking every day or some days. Due to the methodology change in 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend not conducting analyses where estimates from 1984 – 2011 are compared with analyses using the new methodology, beginning in 2012. This includes analyses examining trends and changes over time. (For more information, please see the narrative description.) The California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an on-going telephone survey of randomly selected adults, which collects information on a wide variety of health-related behaviors and preventive health practices related to the leading causes of death and disability such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and injuries. Data are collected monthly from a random sample of the California population aged 18 years and older. The BRFSS is conducted by Public Health Survey Research Program of California State University, Sacramento under contract from CDPH. The survey has been conducted since 1984 by the California Department of Public Health in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2012, the survey methodology of the California BRFSS changed significantly so that the survey would be more representative of the general population. Several changes were implemented: 1) the survey became dual-frame, with both cell and landline random-digit dial components, 2) residents of college housing were eligible to complete the BRFSS, and 3) raking or iterative proportional fitting was used to calculate the survey weights. Due to these changes, estimates from 1984 – 2011 are not comparable to estimates from 2012 and beyond. Center for Disease Control and Policy (CDC) and recommend not conducting analyses where estimates from 1984 – 2011 are compared with analyses using the new methodology, beginning in 2012. This includes analyses examining trends and changes over time.Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and now smoking every day or some days. Prior to 1996, the definition of current cigarettes smoking was having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and smoking now.

This data shows the percentage of adults (age 18 and over) who are current smokers.

Smoking is the single biggest cause of preventable death and illnesses, and big inequalities exist between and within communities. Smoking is a major risk factor for many diseases, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, bronchitis and emphysema) and heart disease. It is also associated with cancers in other organs.

Smoking is a modifiable lifestyle risk factor. Preventing people from starting smoking is important in reducing the health harms and inequalities.

This data is based on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Population Survey (APS). The percentage of adults is not age-standardised. In this dataset particularly at district level there may be inherent statistical uncertainty in some data values. Thus as with many other datasets, this data should be used together with other data and resources to obtain a fuller picture.

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.

Tobacco smoking causes cardiovascular diseases, lung disease, and various cancers. Understanding the population-based characteristics associated with smoking and the cause of death is important to improve survival. This study sought to evaluate the differential impact of smoking on cardiac or non-cardiac death according to age. Data from 514,866 healthy adults who underwent national health screening in South Korea were analyzed. The participants were divided into three groups: never-smoker, ex-smoker or current smoker according to the smoking status. The incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) of cardiac or non-cardiac deaths according to smoking status and age groups during the 10-year follow-up were calculated to evaluate the differential risk of smoking. Over the follow-up period, 6,192 and 24,443 cardiac and non-cardiac deaths had occurred, respectively. The estimated incidence rate of cardiac and non-cardiac death gradually increased in older age groups and was higher in current smokers and ex-smokers than that in never-smokers among all age groups. After adjustment of covariates, the HRs for cardiac death of current smokers compared to never-smokers were the highest in individuals in their 40’s (1.82; 95% CI, 1.45–2.28); this gradually decreased to 0.96 (95% CI, 0.67–1.38) in individuals >80 years. In contrast, the HRs for non-cardiac death peaked in individuals in their 50’s, (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.57–1.82) and was sustained in those >80 years (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.17–1.69). Ex-smokers did not show elevated risk of cardiac death compared to never-smokers in any age group, whereas they showed significantly higher risk of non-cardiac death in their 60’s and 70’s (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.19–1.39; HR 1.22, 95% CI, 1.12–1.32, respectively). Acute myocardial infarction and lung cancer showed patterns similar to those of cardiac and non-cardiac death, respectively. Smoking was associated with higher relative risk of cardiac death in the middle-aged group and non-cardiac death in the older age group. Ex-smokers in the older age group had elevated risk of non-cardiac death. To prevent early cardiac death and late non-cardiac death, smoking cessation should be emphasized as early as possible.

The dataset contains 1120 images divided equally into two classes, where 560 images are of Smoking (smokers) and remaining 560 images belong to NotSmoking (non-smokers) class. The dataset is curated by scanning through various search engines by entering multiple keywords that include cigarette smoking, smoker, person, coughing, taking inhaler, person on the phone, drinking water etc. We tried to consider versatile images in both classes for creating a certain degree of inter-class confusion in order to better train the model. For instance, Smoking class contains images of smokers from multiple angles and various gestures. Moreover, the images in NotSmoking class consists of images of non-smokers with slightly similar gestures as that of smoking images such as people drinking water, using inhaler, holding the mobile phone, coughing etc. The dataset can be used by the prospective researchers to propose deep learning algorithms for automated detection and screening of smoker towards ensuring the green environment and performing surveillance in smart cities. All images in the dataset are preprocessed and resized to a resolution of 250×250. We considered 80% of the data for training and validation purposes and 20% for the testing.

This dataset contains the data on 144 daily smokers each rating 44 preparatory activities for quitting smoking (e.g., envisioning one's desired future self after quitting smoking, tracking one's smoking behavior, learning about progressive muscle relaxation) on their perceived ease/difficulty and required completion time. Since becoming more physically active can make it easier to quit smoking, some activities were also about becoming more physically active (e.g., tracking one's physical activity behavior, learning about what physical activity is recommended, envisioning one's desired future self after becoming more physically active). Moreover, participants provided a free-text response on what makes some activities more difficult than others.

Study

The data was gathered during a study on the online crowdsourcing platform Prolific between 6 September and 16 November 2022. The Human Research Ethics Committee of Delft University of Technology granted ethical approval for the research (Letter of Approval number: 2338).

In this study, daily smokers who were contemplating or preparing to quit smoking first filled in a prescreening questionnaire and were then invited to a repertory grid study if they passed the prescreening. In the repertory grid study, participants were asked to divide sets of 3 preparatory activities for quitting smoking into two subgroups. Afterward, they rated all preparatory activities on the perceived ease of doing them and the perceived required time to do them. Participants also provided a free-text response on what makes some activities more difficult than others.

The study was pre-registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf.io/cax6f. This pre-registration describes the study setup, measures, etc. Note that this dataset contains only part of the collected data: the data related to studying the perceived difficulty of preparatory activities.

The file "Preparatory_Activity_Formulations.xlsx" contains the formulations of the 44 preparatory activities used in this study.

Data

This dataset contains three types of data:

- Data from participants' Prolific profiles. This includes, for example, the age, gender, weekly exercise amount, and smoking frequency.

- Data from a prescreening questionnaire. This includes, for example, the stage of change for quitting smoking and whether people previously tried to quit smoking.

- Data from the repertory grid study. This includes the ratings of the 44 activities on ease and required time as well as the free-text responses on what makes some activities more difficult than others.

There is for each data file a file that explains each data column. For example, the file "prolific_profile_data_explanation.xlsx" contains the column explanations for the data gathered from participants' Prolific profiles.

Each data file contains a column called "rand_id" that can be used to link the data from the data files.

Background: Maternal pregnancy smoking have adverse perinatal outcomes and the relationship between maternal smoking and neonatal death have not been fully elucidated. We aimed to examine the risk of neonatal death in relation to maternal smoking and to quantify potential mediators of these associations. Methods: We did a population-based cohort study using Period Linked Birth-Infant Death data from 2016 to 2019 in the US National Vital Statistics System. The exposure was maternal smoking status. The main outcome was neonatal death. Association between maternal smoking and neonatal death was estimated through logistic regression. Mediation analysis was performed to assess the extent to which the association between maternal smoking and neonatal death was mediated by neonatal complications. Results: The final sample consisted of 14717020 mothers with live singleton births. The overall neonatal mortality rate was 2.2 per 1000 live births. Maternal pregnancy smoking was associated with an increased risk of neonatal death (aOR, 1.33 [95%CI, 1.28-1.38]; P<.001), while smoking cessation during the whole pregnancy showed a comparable risk of neonatal death with non-smokers (aOR,1.06 [95%CI, 0.99-1.14]; P=0.116). Mediation analysis indicated that the association between pregnancy smoking and neonatal death might be mainly mediated by preterm birth and low Apgar score at 5min. Conclusions: Maternal pregnancy smoking, regardless of pregnancy trimester and intensity, was associated with increased risk of neonatal death. Efforts are needed for policymakers to promote smoking cessation before pregnancy and professional perinatal care should be provided for those who smoked during pregnancy.
