Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death in the United States. An estimated 390,000 smoking-attributable deaths in the United States occurred in 1985, and more than 434,000 deaths occurred in 1988; in 1988, an estimated 1,198,887 years of potential life lost (YPLL) before age 65 were attributed to smoking. To estimate the national impact of cigarette smoking on mortality and YPLL, calculations were performed using the Smoking-Attributable Mortality, Morbidity, and Economic Cost (SAMMEC) software. This report summarizes the results of this analysis.
在美国，吸烟是导致过早死亡的唯一最可预防的原因。据估计，1985年美国有39万例死亡可归因于吸烟，1988年这一数字超过43.4万；1988年，估计有1198887个65岁之前的潜在寿命年（YPLL）因吸烟而损失。为了估计吸烟对全国死亡率和YPLL的影响，使用吸烟归因死亡率、发病率和经济成本（SAMMEC）软件进行了计算。本报告总结了这一分析的结果。
