Description

Jingting Zhang and co-authors chart the global burden of lung and airway cancers caused by smoking from 1990 to 2021 in a 2024 analysis. Smoking is the main risk factor for these cancers, and tracking deaths and lost healthy years shows where the harm is moving. Data came from the Global Burden of Disease study for that full span.

Total deaths and lost years rose over the period, yet rates adjusted for age fell, a sign that population growth drove much of the rise. Rates stayed far lower in women than in men. East Asia held the highest death rate in the final year, and Central Europe the highest lost year rate, with Greenland highest among single countries. The authors also link national rates to a social and demographic index, finding unlike trends by development level.
