Cost-effectiveness of smoke-free interventions: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tobacco use imposes substantial global economic costs - estimated at $1803 to $1899 billion annually (1.76-1.85% of global gross domestic product) - through healthcare expenditures and productivity losses. In 2019, it contributed to approximately 8.70 million deaths and 229.77 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs); secondhand smoke exposure added 1.31 million deaths and 37.01 million DALYs. While tobacco control efforts continue, evidence on the economic impacts of interventions remains limited. This study systematically reviews the cost-effectiveness of smoke-free interventions to inform policy.

Methods

A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024521198). Searches conducted in January 2
