- W2427010241 abstract "Following existing research on the economic costs of smoking for England and Scotland, ASH Walesundertook an analysis of existing data sources to compile an estimate of the economic costs ofsmoking to Wales. Within Wales 23% of adults smoke and this has a significant impact upon health,productivity and the environment, resulting in high costs. The Welsh Government have stated theirintention to reduce adult smoking prevalence rates to 16% by 2020, and if achieved, this willsignificantly reduce the cost of smoking for Wales.MethodsThe research adopted the approach of Nash and Featherstone (2010), and examined data relatingto: costs to the NHS; smoking related deaths; absenteeism from work; productivity losses due tosmoking breaks; deaths from second hand smoke; smoking-related litter and fires caused bysmokers’ materials. Where possible, data from Wales were used. However, in some areas, Englishor UK data was used to create an estimate where no data was available.ResultsThe data show that the economic cost of smoking to Wales based upon the factors listed in thebelow table is an estimated £790.66 million per year. However, it could be as high as £1.04 billionper year.On pages 13 and 14, tables show these costs by Local Health Board and Local Authority in Wales.The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board experiences the highest estimated costs at £172.2million per year, with Powys Teaching Health Board having the lowest estimated cost of £30.9million per year. A comparison of local authorities shows that the estimated costs are highest inCardiff (£91.5 million) and lowest in Merthyr Tydfil (£17.5 million per year). These costs reflect thedifferential population size, however, as Cardiff’s adult smoking rate is 23% and Merthyr Tydfil’s27%, in the context of a national average of 23%. 5ConclusionThe economic costs of smoking to Wales are extremely high. In order to reduce these costs, it isessential to reduce the number of young people who become smokers, to reduce smokingprevalence and to ensure cessation services are accessible, equitable and offer a broad range ofservices. If the Welsh Government’s aim of reducing adult smoking prevalence to 16% were to berealised, these estimated costs suggest potentially significant savings for Wales." @default.
