Rapport om dødsfall og tapte leveår som skyldes røyking (in rwegian only). By Stein Emil Vollset, Randi Selmer, Aage Tverdal og Håkon K. Gjessing Update of main tables (2009): TOBACCO-RELATED COSTS 2.4 TOBACCO-RELATED COSTS Do you have information on the economic burden of tobacco use in your population, e.g. the overall cost of tobacco use imposed on your society? If you answered to question 2.4.1, please provide details (e.g. direct (health care-related) and indirect costs and, if possible, the method used to estimate these costs). English Summary in the report What is the magnitude of the societal costs associated with tobacco smoking in rway? This report addresses this question by transferring cost estimates from Denmark and Sweden to a rwegian context. The rwegian cost estimates vary from NOK 8 billion to NOK 80 billion per year. The lower part of the interval includes healthcare costs and production losses associated with morbidity and premature mortality. The upper part of the interval includes an economic valuation of the welfare loss (lost life years and health related life quality) due to tobacco smoking. The economic value of the welfare loss is one of the parameters that affect the cost estimates the most. But the magnitude of welfare loss associated with smoking also depends on assumptions related to the existence of market failures. Are consumers acting as fully informed individuals in a perfect market or are they not? Cost stimates that include the valuation of welfare loss would generally assume some level of market failure (consumers not taking into account the full consequences of their behaviour in a long-term perspective). The cost estimates do indicate that interventions with the potential to reduce the number of daily and occational smokers can result in substantial benefits to society. But in order to guide decision makers towards identifying which 15

16 interventions are cost-effective or not, interventions need to be systematically compared in terms of their potential costs and consequences. This report argues that welfare effects are important to include in such analyses. This report also briefly addresses the question of the societal costs related to passive smoking. Based on an assumption that passive smoking contributes to about 5 percent of smoking related deaths and a welfare loss, the societal costs related to passive smoking are estimated to be about NOK 4 billion per year. Without an economic valuation of welfare loss the estimate is between NOK 400 million and NOK 1 billion per year. Health care costs related to passive smoking affecting children are assumed to be about NOK 21,5 million per year. In addition, there will be relatives production loss and welfare effects. Such costs could easily reach a magnitude of hundreds of millions NOK per year Please indicate the year and source of the data used to answer question 2.4.2, and please submit a copy of the study you refer to: 2010 (the same data was reported in 2012) SUPPLY OF TOBACCO AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS 2.5 SUPPLY OF TOBACCO AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS (with reference to Articles 6.2(b), 20.4(c), and 15.5) Licit supply of tobacco products Smoking tobacco products Add product Product Cigarette s Pipe and rollyourown Unit (e.g. pieces, tonnes) mill pieces Domestic production Retail sales Exports Imports tons Cigars/ci garillos tons Smokeless tobacco products Add product Snus tons Chew tons
