*: Tobacco-related diseases selected from the Surgeon General’s Report of 2004 and IARC Monograph volume 83.

§: Population attributable fraction was calculated by summing up attributable fractions estimated for each tobacco-related disease, assuming that the fraction of diseases other than tobacco-related diseases was zero.
