US EditionAbout 40% Of U.S. Smokers Struggle With Disability
- Researchers led by Jeanette Novakovich reported on May 29 that about 40% of current U.S. Smokers have some form of disability.
- They analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey gathered between 2019 and 2023, comparing smokers and non-smokers.
- The study found smokers had more than twice the prevalence of disability, especially mobility and cognitive issues, than never-smokers.
- Specifically, 14% of smokers reported severe disability interfering with daily life compared to 7% of non-smokers, with mobility at 8% and cognitive issues at 4.5%.
- Researchers noted the study could not determine whether smoking causes disabilities or if disability leads to smoking, and cessation programs may need adaptation for disabled smokers.
