We relied on administrative and survey data from Ontario, Canada and applied a combination of microsimulation and multi-state modeling methods.

The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 37.9% (95% CI: 34.9, 41.4) for never smokers, 34.7% (95% CI: 32.1, 36.9) for current smokers, and 46.4% (95% CI: 43.6, 49.0) for former smokers, at 14 years.
