Description

Introduction In 2007, 19.3% of the United State's adult population smoked tobacco cigarettes. (1) The smoking rates in the Appalachian region were much higher--the West Virginia smoking prevalence rate was 26.8%, Kentucky's was 28.1% and Tennessee's was 24.2%. (1) From 2000 to 2004, the United States median smoking-attributable mortality rate (SAM) was 288.1 per 100,000. (2) The West Virginia SAM was 344.3, Kentucky's was 383.9 and Tennessee's was 337.4. (2) SAM is used as an estimate of the United State's public health burden from smoking. SAM is calculated by multiplying the number of deaths of adults over age 35 from any of the 19 diseases caused by cigarette smoking by an American Cancer Society-derived relative risk estimate of preventable deaths for each disease.
