Using data on snus use in Sweden to compare different modelling approaches to estimate the population health impact of introducing a smoke-free tobacco product

Table 2 Estimating death rates in Approach 2

For the nine tobacco use groups, Table 2 shows the death rates that would apply in situation A, which concerns the historical number of deaths in males from a specified disease that did occur in Sweden in a defined year, and in situation B, which concerns the hypothetical number that would have occurred in that year if snus users had smoked cigarettes instead. N is the death rate in never smokers, F is that in former smokers and C is that in current smokers
