OBJECTIVE: We aimed to estimate the mortality attributable to current cigarette smoking among Tunisian individuals aged 30 years and over in 2016.

METHODS: The number of deaths attributable to cigarette smoking was estimated using the population attributable fraction (PAF) method of calculation. Current cigarette smoking-related data and number of deaths by cause were obtained from a Tunisian national household survey conducted in 2016 (THES-2016) and the "Global Burden of Disease" study respectively. Relative risks for cause-specific mortality among current cigarette smokers compared to never-smokers were obtained mainly from the American cancer prevention study II (CPS II), including adjustments for a range of potential confounders.

RESULTS: In 2016, 6,039 deaths were attributed to current cigarette smoking (5,934 in men and 105 in women), accounting for 14.3 % of total deaths in persons aged 30 years and over (24.2 % in men and 0.6 % in women). Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and upper aerodigestive tract cancers represented the highest smoking-attributable risks (74.5 %, 49.1 % and 42.2 % respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, high rates of smoking-attributable mortality were found, mainly among men. In addition to more rigorous application of existing laws, sensitization to the dangers of tobacco, educational anti-smoking campaigns and help in quitting are of prime importance.
