Tobacco deaths in South Dakota.
Seventeen percent of South Dakota deaths during 2004-2007 were associated with tobacco use. Cancer, heart disease and chronic lower respiratory disease deaths were most commonly linked to tobacco use. Men were more likely to die of a tobacco-associated disease than women. Tobacco use during pregnancy increased the infant mortality rate. Reducing tobacco use would reduce early and preventable deaths.
