Overview

Life table modelling reveals significant losses in life years and healthcare costs due to tobacco smoking in Ireland, suggesting urgent policy action.

Key Points

  • Over 4.9 million life years are projected to be lost due to tobacco smoking in Ireland over a lifetime.
  • An estimated 18% of the Irish population were smokers in 2022, leading to significant health and economic burdens.
  • Life table modelling was employed to assess long-term health impacts and costs associated with different smoking statuses.
  • This analysis points to the need for effective tobacco endgame strategies to mitigate long-term societal impacts.
