“…According to Quitting Smoking: Surgical Report published by Disease Prevention and Control Center in the United States in 2020, smoking cessation reduces the risk of reproductive, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 12 types of cancer [ 41 ]. Our study also supports that the health risks of smoking decrease gradually as the duration of smoking cessation increases [ 42 ].…”

Background Smoking is a significant public health concern in China and a leading cause of lung cancer deaths among adults. This study aims to employ three methods to estimate smoking-attributable lung cancer mortality among Chinese adults from 2000 to 2020. Methods Population attributable fractions (PAFs) of lung cancer deaths caused by smoking were estimated using lagged smoking prevalence, Peto-Lopez, and dose–response relationship methods, separately. Smoking exposure was obtained from national tobacco surveys in China, and relative risks (RR) were derived from a meta-analysis of state-of-the-art studies among the Chinese population. Finally, we estimated the sex- and age-stratified smoking-attributable lung cancer deaths in Chinese population in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. Results The PAFs estimated using 5- and 10-year lagged smoking prevalence method (45–47%) and Peto-Lopez method (46–47%) were similar, while PAFs calculated using the dose–response method were highest (47–58%). The PAFs were consistently higher in males than in females. Age-specific PAFs estimated by lagged smoking prevalence method (54–60%) and the Peto-Lopez method (57–61%) in males were similar and relatively stable, with slight decreases in older populations, while the dose–response relationship-based PAFs increased with age and fluctuated by year. By using the above methods, smoking-attributable lung cancer deaths were estimated to be 134,100, 134,600, 136,600, and 155,300 in 2000 increasing to 310,300, 301,100, 306,000, and 314,700 in 2020, respectively. Conclusion The estimation from dose–response methods could better reflect the smoking effect, however, high-quality data and accurate estimation of parameters are necessary.

“…Barrett (2002) looks at smoking in the past as opposed to current smoking because the retrospective measure of smoking is not likely to influence current income however current smoking behaviour is likely to affect current income. Chang, Loh, Tsai, Chiou, and Chen (2014) in looking at the relationship between smoking cessation and disease mortality risks among elderly Taiwanese, find that former smokers who quit for over 5 years were similar to those who never smoked in terms of all-cause death, lung cancer, all cause cancers, respiratory diseases and cardio vascular diseases as opposed to those who quit less than five years ago who had higher mortality rates.…”

This paper presents a study of the effects of alcohol consumption on household income in Ireland using the Slán National Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007 dataset, accounting for endogeneity and selection bias. Drinkers are categorised into one of four categories based on the recommended weekly drinking levels by the Irish Health Promotion Unit; those who never drank, non-drinkers, moderate and heavy drinkers. A multinomial logit OLS Two Step Estimate is used to explain individual's choice of drinking status and to correct for selection bias which would result in the selection into a particular category of drinking being endogenous. Endogeneity which may arise through the simultaneity of drinking status and income either due to the reverse causation between the two variables, income affecting alcohol consumption or alcohol consumption affecting income, or due to unobserved heterogeneity, is addressed. This paper finds that the household income of drinkers is higher than that of non-drinkers and of those who never drank. There is very little difference between the household income of moderate and heavy drinkers, with heavy drinkers earning slightly more. Weekly household income for those who never drank is €454.20, non-drinkers is €506.26, compared with €683.36 per week for moderate drinkers and €694.18 for heavy drinkers
