“… 3 Similarly, a recent study from India assessed the economic costs of tobacco use for the year 2017–2018 for age above 35 years and found that the total economic cost attributed to tobacco was US$27.5 billion, equivalent to 5.3% of the total health expenditure. 4 Using a similar age bracket as in a recent study from India our annual estimated costs amounted to US$77.3 billion. In Thailand, the total cost of smoking constituted 0.78% of the country’s national GDP.…”

“…India, for example, a lower-middle income country, accounts for 9% of the world’s tobacco users with more than 115 million adults consuming some kind (smoking, smokeless, or both) of tobacco products [ 16 ]. Tobacco-use in India takes a toll of more than 1 million tobacco-related deaths annually [ 17 ], along with an estimated annual economic cost of approximately 1% of the GDP [ 18 ]. While childhood adversity such as physical, verbal, and sexual abuse are associated with tobacco use behaviors [ 12 , 19 ], evidence on the relationship of child marriage with tobacco use is limited in existing literature.…”
