Smoking status is linked to productivity loss, with smokers more likely to report inability to work due to health issues.
Currently and formerly smoked cancer survivors reported 20.0% and 23.9% inability to work, respectively, compared to 18.0% of never smokers.
Higher rates of missed workdays were seen in current smokers compared to those who never smoked, who had an average of 9.87 missed days.
Cessation efforts may improve labor force participation and reduce overall productivity loss among cancer survivors.
