In countries where male and female smoking rates differ, do life expectancies differ as well?

• Rates of smoking around the world range from a high of 80% of males in Afghanistan to a low of less than 1 % of females in Ethiopia and India.

• • We expect that smoking rates are correlated with life

expectancy, but other factors are also involved.• • In Russia, smoking is one of the factors that contributes

to the 12 year difference in life expectancy between men and women. Why isn’t this true in China?

• Chinese rates of cigarette consumption have increased from 200 per person per year to over 1300 per person per year in 2005.

• We know from US experience that it takes 30-40 years for smoking related diseases to develop; we predict that without large scale efforts to reduce smoking in men in China, that mortality rates for men will increase.

• It is estimated that 33% of male mortality in China will be due to smoking related causes by 2030 (Niu 1999, BMJ).
