Each year in the United States, approximately 440,000 persons die of a cigarette smoking-attributable illness, resulting in 5.6 million years of potential life lost, $75 billion in direct medical costs, and $82 billion in lost productivity. To assess smoking-attributable morbidity, the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Research Triangle Institute, and CDC analyzed data from three sources: the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III), and the U.S. Census. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicate that an estimated 8.6 million persons in the United States have serious illnesses attributed to smoking; chronic bronchitis and emphysema account for 59% of all smoking-attributable diseases. These findings underscore the need to expand surveillance of the disease burden caused by smoking and to establish comprehensive tobacco-use prevention and cessation efforts to reduce the adverse health impact of smoking.
在美国，每年约有44万人死于与吸烟相关的疾病，导致560万年的潜在寿命损失、750亿美元的直接医疗费用以及820亿美元的生产力损失。为评估吸烟所致发病率，罗斯威尔帕克癌症研究所、三角研究园研究所和疾病控制与预防中心分析了来自三个来源的数据：行为危险因素监测系统（BRFSS）、第三次全国健康和营养检查调查（NHANES III）以及美国人口普查。本报告总结了该分析结果，结果表明，美国估计有860万人患有因吸烟导致的严重疾病；慢性支气管炎和肺气肿占所有吸烟所致疾病的59%。这些发现强调了扩大对吸烟所致疾病负担监测的必要性，并需要开展全面的烟草使用预防和戒烟工作，以减少吸烟对健康的不利影响。
