Modeling the Impact of Smoking on Mortality in Argentina From 2000 to 2100. A Maximum Potential Reduction in Premature Mortality Analysis
This modeling study provides an estimation of the future burden of smoking-attributable mortality in Argentina and highlights the maximum potential health benefits if all smoking would cease by 2024. While a portion of smoking-related mortality is unavoidable due to past smoking, the results show that further tobacco control interventions could still prevent a substantial number of premature deaths and life-years lost. These findings underscore the need for continued public health efforts to reduce smoking rates and mitigate its long-term effects on population health.
