    Author: Kayani NA, Yun S, Zhu BP.
    Journal: Mo Med; 2007; 104(3):265-9. PubMed ID: 17619504.
    Abstract:
    This study used the Smoking-Attributable Mortality, Morbidity and Economic Cost (SAMMEC) software developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess the health consequences and economic burden due to smoking in Missouri. During 2000-2004, cigarette smoking resulted in 9,600 deaths (17.5% of all deaths), 132,103 Years of Potential Life Lost, and $2.4 billion in productivity loss annually in Missouri. These data show that Missouri suffers enormous human and financial losses from smoking.
