| Previous CDC publications
including the 2004 Surgeon General’s Report (The
Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General,
USDHHS, 2004) have presented SAMMEC estimates for the period
1995 through 1999. In addition to updating estimates of smoking-attributable
mortality (SAM), years of potential life lost (YPLL), and lifetime
future productivity losses for the period 1997 through 2004,
we have added SAM and YPLL age-adjusted rate reports for this
period. To discourage the use of SAMMEC as a surveillance system,
we recommend that users employ the five-year average estimates
in their work. |
