... . The CISNET smoking and lung cancer models were used to estimate the number of lung cancer deaths in the United States prevented by historical tobacco control efforts from 1975 to 2000 (Moolgavkar et al., 2012)
From page 328...
... The SimSmoke model explores the potential effects of raising the minimum age of legal access to tobacco (MLA) on smoking initiation rates in order to make predictions of the policy effects on future smoking prevalence and smoking-attributable deaths and maternal and child health outcomes (i.e., low birth weight, pre-term births and sudden infant deaths)

... Later smoking initiation would also tend to postpone the effect of differential mortality in the cohort. We assumed that the differential mortality resulting from cigarette smoking occurred at ages, a ≥ a0, and PE*

... is given by a constrained natural spline. We were only interested in the fitted values for the initiation probabilities, which were not affected by the well-known identifiability problem in ageperiod-cohort models.

... Knots were specified as: age: 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 period: 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 2000, 2005 cohort: 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980 The fitted estimates of the probabilities for each category of smoking dose for each cohort for ages 0 to 99 were used as parameters for the smoking history generator. Estimates for cohorts born before 1920 were constrained to be the same as for the 1920 birth cohort.
From page 335...
... In addition, using the methods described, we obtained estimates of current and former smoker prevalence estimates. The distribution of smoking intensity categories was assumed to remain the same in future birth cohorts.
From page 336...
... These were then used to obtain the mean lung cancer mortality rate for current smokers. Similarly, for former smokers we obtain the mean lung cancer mortality rate for a particular age of interest by first determining the joint distribution of age at initiation, age at cessation, and smoking intensity.
From page 337...
... This captures the life course of different generations, and it provides useful summaries of the groups that would have experienced a change in the MLA at a point in life in which they are most likely to initiate cigarette smoking. Viewed from this perspective, we determined life expectancy, premature deaths from smoking, and excess lung cancer deaths caused by smoking from the temporal perspective of following these individuals through life.

Due to the assumption of a 2-year initiation rebound for MLA 19 and MLA 21, slight increases in smoking prevalence and MCH outcomes for the age of the MLA and the next age are predicted in the early years.
