The 2019 Health Care Cost of Smoking

Reliable estimates of the economic costs of tobacco use are important to policymakers, particularly in planning health services provisions and other public expenditures. Regarding this problem, the Center for Indonesia’s Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI) in collaboration with the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) has conducted a study to estimate the total health costs incurred during 2019 to deal with smoking-related diseases, including the cost borne by the Health Insurance Program.
