与吸烟有病因学关系的疾病,如:心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺部疾病、至少6种癌症、妊娠并发病、消化性溃疡、良性口腔病变和意外事故等。这一发现导致许多学者试图估计吸烟者所花费的过多的医疗费用。过去的估计是通过估算与吸烟有关的各种情况所花费的医疗费用来进行的。并认为这项过多的开支与吸烟者过多发病率的程度呈比例。Luce 和Schweitzer 估计美国1975年直接医疗费用的超出部分是75亿美元。下面是对吸烟者、不吸烟者 Diseases with etiology related to smoking, such as: cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, at least 6 cancers, pregnancy complications, peptic ulcer, benign oral lesions and accidents.
