Richard Peto, Alan D. Lopez, Hongchao Pan, Jillian Boreham and Michael Thun

 

 

• For 52 'developed' countries or groups of countries, smoking-attributed deaths are estimated indirectly from national vital statistics,

as in Peto, Lopez et al, 1992, 1994, and http://www.deathsfromsmoking.net.

 

• To sample the tables of tobacco deaths presented for each geographic area, click EU28 and review the 5 pairs of pages, or go to CONTENTS, click "Specific country ...." and choose one.

 

• To sample choosing one particular pair of pages for all 52 areas click Main tables (and wait for downloading), or go to CONTENTS,

click "Specific pair ...." and choose to download one particular type of table or figure.

 

• For five former Yugoslav republics, where historical trends may be unreliable or are unavailable, pages showing trends are omitted.

 

• Minor differences between this and previous editions are due to the use of slightly different population estimates and use of actual (instead of estimated) national mortality data for some years.

 

• The material presented was last updated in September 2015.  Further updates to include more years of data will be made available on this website.
