INTRODUCTION Studies in several countries indicate that being a police officer is a risk factor for tobacco use. Currently, no such studies have been performed among police officers in Uganda, or in Africa generally. The aim of this study is to assess prevalence and costs of smoking among Ugandan police officers. METHODS A multistage survey model was employed to sample police officers (n=349) that included an observational cross-sectional survey and an annual costanalysis approach. The study setting was confined to Nsambya Police Barracks, in Kampala city. RESULTS Police officers smoke 4.8 times higher than the general public (25.5% vs 5.3%). Risk factors included lower age, higher education and working in guard and general duties units. The findings show that the annual cost of smoking due to productivity loss could be up to US$5.521 million and US$57.316 million for excess healthcare costs. These costs represent 45.

“…Previous studies may explain the observed effective interventions by countries to reduce the prevalence of smokers and exhibited positive results in decreasing the mortality and morbidity associated with smoking 10,11 . However, the new data show that most countries are still faced with an increase in the number of young smokers, new cancer cases and high expenditure of cancers treatment 12,13 . Important tools to evaluate the burden of smoking related cancer is quantifying the economic burden of cancers associated to tobacco.…”

There is a widely known that smoking economic burden has a significant impact on country health expenditure as well as society. This study aimed to estimate the mortality of major cancers associated to tobacco smoking in Indonesia and cost of productivity lost due to mortality in 2018. This study employed prevalence based epidemiological study design. Death rate of major cancers due to tobacco smoking among adults by gender was obtained from Globocan 2018 database. Smoker prevalence was obtained from the Basic Health Research 2018. Life expectancy of Indonesian was taken from the WHO Life Tables, while the average income of Indonesian population was retrieved from National Statistics Bureau. The expected years to life and average wages among active working population were used to estimate cost of productive lost due to smoking. The data analysis was conducted by Excel software. The largest of the smoking attributable fraction (SAF) was lung cancer, as amount as 99.82% and 96.93% in men and women respectively. The highest number of deaths caused by smoking on men was lung cancer (16,541 deaths), while in women was lung cancer (4,572 deaths). The total mortality of cancers associated to tobacco was 43,913 deaths in men, compared to 30,729 deaths in women. Total cost of productivity lost of cancer caused by smoking was 4,287,141 million IDR, with lung cancers costs in the first rank. Cancer burden caused by smoking were significantly impact on health and economy of the Indonesian government and community. These evidences can be useful in drawing up the strategy of intervention on prevention and control of tobacco use.
