Yang X, Man J, Chen H, et al. - This study was intended to evaluate patterns of smoking-induced lung cancer deaths at the global, regional, and national level from 1990 to 2017. Detailed data on lung cancer deaths attributable to smoking from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 Study were extracted. Researchers applied the estimated annual percentage change to evaluate temporal trends in the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of smoking-induced lung cancer. The number of lung cancer deaths increased steadily due to population aging and growth, despite the decline in lung cancer ASMR attributable to smoking over the past 28 years. The results of this study exhibited that tobacco prevention needs to be stronger, particularly in countries with high smoking prevalence and countries where the ASMR of smoking-induced lung cancer is increasing.
