Health effects associated with smoking: a Burden of Proof study
We identified three outcomes with a 4-star association with smoking: COPD (72% increase in risk based on the BPRF, 0.54 ROS), lower respiratory tract infection (54%, 0.43) and pancreatic cancer (52%, 0.42). In the present study, we provide detailed results for one example 4-star association: current smoking and COPD.
