Abstract

Tobacco smoking is overwhelmingly the most
significant risk factor for cancer and across the board for chronic diseases.
Cigarette smoking is causally related to several cancers with inconsistent
associations. In this study, malignant neoplasms of larynx and
trachea/bronchus/lung, liver and the intrahepatic bile ducts and cervix uteri,
other parts of uterus, ovary and prostate are examined according to their
statistics of total death by gender. The aim of this study is to reveal the
relationship between cigarette consumption and the number of deaths of
malignant neoplasms and to perform forecasting for cigarette consumption.
According to the predicted values of cigarette consumption, the number of
deaths of malignant neoplasms are predicted. Interpretations are provided based
on statistical data analyses

Keywords

regression analysis, statistical data analyses
