“…The smoking-attributable economic burden could therefore be estimated at $6,733.1 million and 0.72% of the total GDP (The Bank of Korea, 2009). The DALYs of cancers due to smoking is estimated at about 41.5% of total DALYs due to smoking in men (Allender et al, 2009), and smoking-attributable DALYs could be extended to 5,378.5 person years per 100,000 people in men.…”

Cigarette smoking is one of the most important public health concerns in Korea and worldwide. A number of studies have been conducted to measure the health and economic burden of smoking, but these did not reflect recent changes such as the decrease in smoking rate and the increase in the incidence of cancer. The purpose of this study was to provide up-to-date estimates of the health and economic burden of cancer caused by smoking and to compare the results with those of previous studies. Cancer-related burden was assessed with nationally representative data such as claims data from the National Health Insurance Corporation, and cause of death records from the National Statistical Office and the Korea Health Panel. We determined the smoking-attributable burden by multiplying the smoking-attributable fraction by the total burden. As a result, the burden of major cancers due to smoking was found to be substantial despite a recent sharp decrease in smoking by the Korean population. The total economic cost reaches $2,234.0 million in males and $870.0 million in females. Also, the health burden of cancers due to smoking is 2,038.9 disability adjusted life years (DALYs) per 100,000 individuals in men and 732.2 DALYs per 100,000 individuals in women. Among all cancers, cancers of the trachea, lungs and bronchus are the leading causes of health and economic burden. The huge burden caused by cancers linked to smoking makes it imperative that adequate policies to decrease the prevalence of smoking be developed, particularly considering the recent increase in smoking rate among women.

“…In studies conducted in the United Kingdom, smoking is responsible for 12.1% of total DALYs and 24.12% of National Health Service costs (Allender et al, 2009). Also, the smokingattributable cost was shown to be 6.8% and 6.54% of total medical expenditures in Taiwan and the United States, respectively (Miller et al, 1999;Yang et al, 2005).…”

“…The remaining £1 billion is due to the fact that the OBR now expects growth in the value of residential property transactions to generate a smaller increase in SDLT revenues than it previously did. 12 This is because it is now expecting fewer residential property transactions at higher prices (which contribute disproportionately to revenues) than it was in July 2015. The OBR has made this change to its modelling on the basis of evidence from the current year, in which there has been a 10% drop in purchases of residential properties worth more than £2 million (perhaps because the December 2014 change to the structure of SDLT, which raised tax rates on purchases of the highest-value residential properties, is depressing transactions by more than the OBR originally assumed).…”

“…11 Our forecasts assume that the NAIRU increased from 5% to 5¾% in the aftermath of the financial crisis, which is based upon empirical evidencenotably Blanchard and Summers (1986) 12 and Ball (2009) 13 -which suggests that significant shifts in aggregate demand can lead to changes in the NAIRU through hysteresis. This is because those out of work for a prolonged period see the value of their skills eroded and become detached from the labour market, so the pool of available and suitably-skilled workers is reduced.…”

Foreword from ICAEW ICAEW is once again very pleased to be associated with the IFS Green Budget. This 2016 report comes at a crucial juncture at the beginning of a new parliament where the political debate is as polarised as it has been for some time. By providing an independent, evidence-based commentary on the economic choices and challenges that we face, it offers much-needed perspective for policymakers as well as the wider electorate. Terms of use: Documents inThe UK government is committed to delivering a budget surplus by 2019-20. It is also committed to funding a range of major infrastructure projects to help unlock long-term economic prosperity. These competing policy priorities will require deft financial management over the course of this parliament, together with a realistic assessment of what is affordable and how these projects can be funded. As the Chancellor pointed out in January, the economic outlook going into 2016 remains uncertain. Balancing the books while having enough in the bank to invest for the future will require tenacity as well as realism about what is achievable.This year, we have produced two chapters for the report. The first provides an analysis of the government balance sheet. The second explores the policy options for infrastructure spending.ICAEW is a world-leading professional accountancy body with 146,000 members in over 160 countries. As an organisation and a profession, we stand for high-quality financial information that can be used to inform good decision-making. We hope the Green Budget will be widely used to that end. Michael Izza Chief Executive Officer of ICAEW Foreword from the Nuffield FoundationOn 16 March, the Chancellor will make his Budget Statement to the House of Commons, setting out the government's assessment of the state of the economy and proposals for tax and spending policy. It is one of the most important annual events for any government, and consequently for all UK citizens. But it shouldn't be the only opportunity to present and discuss analysis of our public finances, and both public debate and policymaking are better informed by the availability of additional, non-partisan analysis.

Background and aimsModelling return on investment (ROI) from smoking cessation interventions requires estimates of their costs and benefits. This paper describes a standardized method developed to source both economic costs of tobacco smoking and costs of implementing cessation interventions for a Europe‐wide ROI model [European study on Quantifying Utility of Investment in Protection from Tobacco model (EQUIPTMOD)].DesignFocused search of administrative and published data. A standardized checklist was developed in order to ensure consistency in methods of data collection.Setting and participantsAdult population (15+ years) in Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and England. For passive smoking‐related costs, child population (0–15 years) was also included.MeasurementsCosts of treating smoking‐attributable diseases; productivity losses due to smoking‐attributable absenteeism; and costs of implementing smoking cessation interventions.FindingsAnnual costs (per case) of treating smoking attributable lung cancer were between €5074 (Hungary) and €52 106 (Germany); coronary heart disease between €1521 (Spain) and €3955 (Netherlands); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease between €1280 (England) and €4199 (Spain); stroke between €1829 (Hungary) and €14 880 (Netherlands). Costs (per recipient) of smoking cessation medications were estimated to be: for standard duration of varenicline between €225 (England) and €465 (Hungary); for bupropion between €25 (Hungary) and €220 (Germany). Costs (per recipient) of providing behavioural support were also wide‐ranging: one‐to‐one behavioural support between €34 (Hungary) and €474 (Netherlands); and group‐based behavioural support between €12 (Hungary) and €257 (Germany). The costs (per recipient) of delivering brief physician advice were: €24 (England); €9 (Germany); €4 (Hungary); €33 (Netherlands); and €27 (Spain).ConclusionsCosts of treating smoking‐attributable diseases as well as the costs of implementing smoking cessation interventions vary substantially across Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and England. Estimates for the costs of these diseases and interventions can contribute to return on investment estimates in support of national or regional policy decisions.

The burden of smoking-related ill health in the UK

Abstract: Smoking is still a considerable public health burden in the UK. Accurately establishing the burden in terms of death, disability and financial costs is important for informing national public health policy.
