Author Description

This book is a collection of smoking data relating to 22 economically developed countries. In a number of countries attempts have been made to relate national trends in mortality rates from various smoking-associated diseases to corresponding national trends in the consumption of cigarettes and other tobacco products. This book provides the necessary survey data on smoking habits classified according to age and sex. The information is presented in as consistent a format as possible for the various countries considered. Data on sales of cigarettes and all tobacco products are presented from 1920 to 1985, including estimates of the consumption of hand-rolled cigarettes. International Smoking Statistics provides a unique compilation of available data over a long period of time, and will serve as an important reference to all those interested in the epidemiology of smoking and smoking-related diseases.
