Abstract
BackgroundSmoking is highly prevalent in the Philippines. Tobacco control policies fail to fully implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control provisions, especially with respect to taxation, smoking bans, sales and marketing restrictions, and cessation support. To aid in policy change and intervention implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, this study aimed to provide the most recent (2008) estimates for the Philippines of: (1) disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost due to lung cancer; (2) population-attributable fractions (PAFs) for smoking; and (3) smoking-attributable lung cancer DALYs.
