The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between cigarette consumption and the number of deaths of malignant neoplasms and to perform forecasting for cigarette consumption. According to the predicted values of cigarette consumption, the number of deaths of malignant neoplasms are predicted. Interpretations are provided based on statistical data analyses
