1380 * Key Point Smoking is causally linked to a host of cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, and other conditions, as well as many types of cancer. The top 3 smoking-attributable causes of death in the United States are lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Background In 2004, the US Surgeon General published a report on the health effects of active smoking, focusing specifically on the evidence for a causal relationship between smoking and disease and death. According to the research summarized in the report, many serious conditions are caused by smoking, including cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, and other conditions, as well as cancer affecting diverse areas and organs of the body. In addition to the widely-known consequences of lung cancer and respiratory disease, smoking has been causally linked to such diverse morbidities as low-bone density, nuclear cataract, bladder cancer, and reduced fertility.1 Other studies have linked smoking to vascular dementia2 and peripheral arterial disease.3 These conditions can affect young and middle-aged smokers and, in general, as a smoker’s age increases, the frequency of smoking-caused diseases rises.1 References 1.
