This longitudinal study on the private and social costs of smoking calculates that the cost of smoking to a 24-year-old woman smoker is $86,000 over a lifetime; for a 24-year-old male smoker the cost is $183,000. The total social cost of smoking over a lifetimeincluding both private costs to the smoker and costs imposed on others (including second-hand smoke and costs of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security)comes to $106,000 for a woman and $220,00 for a man. The cost per pack over a lifetime of smoking: almost $40.00. The first study to quantify the cost of smoking in this way, or in such depth, this accessible book not only adds a weapon to the arsenal of antismoking messages but also provides a framework for assessment that can be applied to other health behaviors. The findings on the effects of smoking on Medicare and Medicaid will be surprising and perhaps controversial, for the authors estimate the costs to be much lower than the damage awards being paid to 46 states as a result of the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. 606 $aSmoking$zUnited States$xCosts$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aSmoking$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSmoking$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 610 $aBIOMEDICAL SCIENCES/General 610 $aECONOMICS/Political Economy 610 $aECONOMICS/Public Economics 615 0$aSmoking$xCosts 615 0$aSmoking$xHealth aspects 615 0$aSmoking$xEconomic aspects 676 $a362.29/6 701 $aSloan$b Frank A$0116362 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777417403321 996 $aThe price of smoking$93675192 997 $aUNINA
