About 18% of people in Ireland still smoke, writes Dr Gintare Valentelyte in @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social. She details research looking at the long-term effects of smoking, showing how it harms our health & probably the economy.

A study by researchers at @rcsipophealth.bsky.social calculates that current smokers in Ireland will lose almost 5 million years of life & 2.5 million years of productivity, leading to healthcare costs of around €20.2bn.
