Fumo di sigarette: l’epidemiologia di una dipendenza Carlo La Vecchia 2 3 4 Studio dei medici inglesi, 50 anni di follow-up Un fumatore a vita ha un rischio di morte, in ogni età 3 volte superiore a quello di un non fumatore. A 90 anni arrivano a 26/100 maschi mai fumatori ma solo 5 fumatori. (Doll et al. 2004) 5 6 Studio dei medici inglesi, 50 anni di follow-up Chi smette a 40 anni ha un rischio di morte di poco superiore a chi non ha mai fumato. Anche chi smette a 50 anni evita oltre la metà del suo rischio di morte da fumo.

Subjects were 6,773 individuals representative of the Italian adult population. 27.1% of individuals (1,837) described themselves as current cigarette smokers (32.1% men, 22.4% women). 49 Tobacco dependence Of all smokers, 13.8% were classified as high and only 3.8% as very high dependent. The proportion of high + very high dependent smokers was 21.4% among men and 12.5% among women. The proportion of high + very high dependent smokers was 2.8% at age 15-17 and 8.4% at age 18-24. Only 23% of smokers found it difficult to avoid smoking in places where smoking was forbidden. 50 Percent prevalence of 1,837 current smokers according to a 6-items Fagerström score.

Today 76% of income from cigarette selling are taxes, in line with the other developed countries. Price elasticity of demand for cigarettes had an appreciable impact on smoking prevalence/consumption in several countries We estimated in -0.46 the elasticity for cigarette consumption and –0.30 for smoking prevalence. More than one third of ever smokers in Italy (survey DOXA 2004) had the perception of an intermediate/high influence of cigarette price on tobacco consumption in the young. 52 Comparison between the number of cigarettes smoked (official legal sales) and the real price of a pack of cigarettes.

In the 90’s it has been estimated in 10-30% the proportion of smuggling in the whole tobacco trading Today we estimated (survey DOXA, 2004) in less then 5% the proportion of smuggling. However, our estimate was self-reported, thus probably under-reported. 54 Cigarette vending machines In 2003, cigarette vending machines accounted for 15% of tobacco sales to Italian minors who smoked (aged 13-17 years). To restrict sales, in particular to the youngest, from January 2004, vending machines are closed in Italy between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. In 2004, still 37% of smokers uses vending machines (~7.5% of cigarettes bought). 56% (~13.7% of cigarettes bought) when considering younger smokers (15-24 years). 55 Main laws and decrees in Italy 1962: (Law) Tobacco advertising forbidden. 1975: (Law) Smoking forbidden in hospitals, schools, public transports, railway station waiting rooms, cinemas, museums, public libraries, theatres… 1976: (Minister’s Decree) Smoking forbidden in schools, universities, areas of public administration open to the public. 1980: (Decree by the President of the Republic) Smoking forbidden in trains (apart in smoking areas), waiting rooms and railway station stops. 1990: (Minister’s Decree) Health warnings on cigarette packs and amount of nicotine and tar yield. 1991: (Minister’s Decree) Tobacco promotion forbidden on television. 1996: (Judgement by Constitutional Court) Employers must avoid exposure to passive smoking, to protect worker’s health. 1997: (Law) Cigarettes must have a maximum tar yield of 12 mg. 2004: (Law effective from January 2005) smoking banned in several public areas, including cafes, restaurants, as well as in the workplace. 56 Response to smoking regulation survey. Italy, 2004. In the survey by DOXA in 2004, for ever-smokers, two specific questions on the support of smoke-free policies were formulated as follow: Do you agree or not to separate smoking areas in cafes and restaurants… and to ban smoking in their absence? Do you agree or not to forbid to smoke in all the workplaces?”. Every question had a structured, four-item score (strongly in favour to strongly against). 57 Response to smoking regulation survey.
