Abstract
Many states have implemented smoke-free workplace laws to protect employees and customers from exposure to secondhand smoke. However, exemptions in these laws have allowed indoor tobacco smoking in hookah lounges to proliferate in recent years. To describe the amount of secondhand smoke in hookah lounges, we measured the indoor air quality of 10 hookah lounges in Oregon. Air quality measurements ranged from "unhealthy" to "hazardous" according to Environmental Protection Agency standards, indicating a potential health risk for patrons and employees.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to measure exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) and assess venue compliance with the municipal Law against smoking indoors in public places in Muscat, Oman. METHODS: Following the selection of 30 public indoor venues within the Muscat governorate, the concentration of suspended SHS particulate matter (PM2.5) in the venues' indoor air was measured throughout July and August 2010. RESULTS: Almost all of the venues were found to be compliant with the smoke-free municipal, with the exception of a cafe that served waterpipes for smoking indoors. The concentration of PM2.5 in this venue showed an average level of 256 microg/m(3) which was 64 times the level of that found in the non-smoking venues. CONCLUSION: Aside from one cafe, the majority of the assessed indoor public venues abided by the smoke-free municipal law. However, the enforcement of policies banning smoking in indoor public recreational venues should be re-examined in order to protect member of the public in Oman from exposure to SHS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the acute cardiovascular effects of smoking shisha. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was carried out in six shisha cafes. Participants smoked shisha for a period between 45 min (minimum) and 90 min (maximum). The same brand of tobacco and coal was used. SETTING: London, UK. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were those who had ordered a shisha to smoke and consented to have their blood pressure, heart rate and carbon monoxide levels measured. Excluded subjects were those who had smoked shisha in the previous 24 h, who smoke cigarettes or who suffered from cardiorespiratory problems. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Pulse was measured by palpation of the radial artery. Carbon monoxide levels were obtained via a carbon monoxide monitor. These indices were measured before the participants began to smoke shisha and after they finished or when the maximum 90 min time period was reached. RESULTS: Mean arterial blood pressure increased from 96 mmHg to 108 mmHg (p

Abstract
At a young age, health care is mainly provided by doctors in private practice. In this study, the health care of children and adolescents in Thuringia is analysed. Data base is the federal state module Thuringia (2010-2012, n = 4884; 0-17 years), which was conducted by the Robert Koch Institute as part of KiGGS wave 1 (2009-2012). The health care of children and adolescents is described based on 7 indicators: total medical visits, paediatrician visits, general practitioner visits, hospitalisation, health screening examinations and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Prevalence and mean values with 95 % confidence intervals were reported, and with logistic and linear regressions, the significance of the group differences was examined. Results show that 93.9 % of children and adolescents aged 0-17 years in Thuringia went in the last 12 months to doctors in private practice; the average number of doctor visits was 6.6 contacts. 75.1 % of 0 to 17-year-olds were treated by a paediatrician, and 29.9 % visited a general practitioner. In addition, 13.1 % of 0 to 17-year-olds in Thuringia have spent at least one night in hospital in the last 12 months; the average number of hospital nights was 7.2. With 90.5 %, the majority of the children aged 7-13 years completed the health screening program for children (U3-U9, without U7a). 67.5 % of the 14- to 17-year-old girls were vaccinated against HPV with at least one dose (lifetime prevalence), and 56.3 % have received a full vaccination with 3 doses. In addition, 62.0 % of 14- to 17-year-old girls went at least once to a gynaecologist. There are significant differences by gender, age, socio-economic status and place of residence (urban/rural). In summation, the results indicate a high utilisation rate by children and adolescents in Thuringia. Additionally, the findings point out prevention potentials such as the vaccination against HPV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Those immunocompromised by AIDS or cancer chemotherapy use marijuana to allay symptoms of their disease or treatment. Some researchers believe that marijuana may further suppress the immune system. A list of immunological hazards that may be present in marijuana was collated and assessed, and clinical recommendations regarding the use of marijuana by immunocompromised individuals were made. METHODS: Databases and other sources from 1964 to 1996 were searched using keywords (e.g., cannabinoids, cannabis, hemp, marijuana). This was supplemented by a manual search of bibliographies, nonindexed books, and journals, and by consultation with experts. All reports were analyzed for antecedent sources. Data validity was assessed by source, identification methodology, and frequency of independent observations. RESULTS: Substances implicated as potential immunological hazards in marijuana include endogenous constituents (cannabinoids, pyrolyzed gases, and particulates) and a longer list of exogenous contaminants, both natural (fungi and their metabolites) and synthetic (pesticides and adulterants). CONCLUSION: Burning of marijuana creates toxins of combustion. Particulate toxins (tars) are reduced by the use of vaporizer apparati. Gas-phase toxins are filtered by water pipes, but water pipes also filter some tetrahydrocannabinol, making this strategy counterproductive. Viable fungal spores in marijuana pose the greatest hazard to immunocompromised patients, though they can be sterilized by several methods. Pesticide residues and other adulterants may be present in black-market marijuana, but are absent in sources of marijuana that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Abstract
CONTEXT: Despite their important roles as future doctors in tobacco cessation counselling, the high prevalence of tobacco use among medical students may hinder them from advocating tobacco control policies and providing cessation counselling. Promoting this role among medical students is especially important in low- and middle-income countries with high burdens of tobacco use but limited resources for cessation programmes. This study examined the associations between medical students' tobacco use and their attitudes towards tobacco control policies and the roles of health professionals in the provision of tobacco cessation advice. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included data from the large multi-country dataset generated by the Global Health Professions Student Survey, 2005-2008 (n = 36,533 medical students). Thirteen binary dependent variables related to medical students' attitudes towards tobacco control policies and the health professional's role in cessation counselling were examined using random-effects logistic regression, with tobacco use status as the key explanatory variable. Covariates included gender, receipt of cessation training, country-level and gender-specific smoking prevalence, region, and country income group. RESULTS: Current tobacco use was consistently associated with less favourable attitudes towards tobacco control policy and cessation advice. Compared with never users, daily users were less likely to agree that the sale of tobacco products to adolescents should be banned (odds ratio [OR] 0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.39-0.58) and that health professionals should routinely advise patients to quit smoking (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.41-0.52) or other forms of tobacco use (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.97). Daily users were less likely to agree that health professionals who smoke are less likely to advise patients to stop smoking (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.39-0.41). CONCLUSIONS: Medical schools may benefit from a thorough re-evaluation of the scope of tobacco cessation training in their curricula in order to support students in smoking cessation and to shape their attitudes towards tobacco control. Targeting medical students who are current tobacco users in tobacco control efforts may be beneficial, given the cost-effectiveness of providing cessation advice.
