Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cigarette use is associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma, and cross-sectional studies suggest an association between smoking and Barrett's esophagus. AIMS: We sought to examine prospectively the effect of smoking on the risk for Barrett's esophagus. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study among 20,863 women within the Nurses' Health Study who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for any reason between 1980 and 2006. We assessed the association between smoking and pathologically-confirmed Barrett's esophagus (n = 377). Self-reported data on smoking and potential confounding variables were collected from biennial questionnaires. RESULTS: Compared with women who never smoked, former smokers of 1-24 cigarettes/day had a multivariate odds ratio for Barrett's esophagus of 1.25 (95% CI 0.99-1.59), former smokers of >/= 25 cigarettes/day had a multivariate odds ratio of 1.52 (95% CI 1.04-2.22), current smokers of 1-24 cigarettes/day had a multivariate odds ratio of 0.89 (95% CI 0.54-1.45), and current smokers of >/= 25 cigarettes/day had a multivariate odds ratio of 0.92 (95% CI 0.34-2.54). The risk for Barrett's esophagus increased significantly with increasing pack-years smoked among former (P = 0.008) but not current smokers (P = 0.99), especially when considering exposure >/= 25 years before index endoscopy. Results were similar among women reporting regular heartburn/acid-reflux one or more times a week, and were not accounted for by changes in weight. CONCLUSIONS: Heavy, remote smoking is associated with an increased risk for Barrett's esophagus. This finding suggests a long latency period between exposure and development of the disease, even after discontinuation of smoking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between aggressive periodontitis (AgP), caries and smoking. METHOD AND MATERIALS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients who were specifically referred to the Dental Teaching Clinic in Irbid, Jordan for periodontal treatment. Self-administered questionnaire related to socio-demographic data and smoking habits was completed. The oral hygiene, gingival status, periodontal health and dental status of the participants was determined by using the plaque index of Silness and Loe [Acta Odontol Scand, 22 (1964), 121], the gingival index of Loe and Silness [Acta Odontol Scand, 21 (1963), 233], clinical attachment level (CAL) and decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index respectively. RESULT: The prevalence of smoking was greater in chronic periodontitis (CP) group (44.2%) than in either chronic gingivitis (CG) (27.4%) or AgP (29.9%) group. Self-reported perio-diseases in the close family was more prevalent (77%) among subjects diagnosed with AgP. The mean plaque scores were significantly higher for smoker than non-smoker in AgP group only (P = 0.04), with significantly greater plaque and gingival scores in CG and CP groups than AgP group (P = 0.012, 0.004). A significantly greater mean gingival scores were noted among CG and CP groups than AgP group (P = 0.004). The mean CAL was higher in smokers than in non-smokers in the three groups, with statistically significant differences in CP and AgP groups (P = 0.04, 0.01 respectively).The mean number of DMFT was significantly higher in smoker than in non-smoker of all age groups (P = 0.016, 0.043 and 0.01). However, mean DMFT was significantly greater in CP and CG than AgP groups. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that (i) higher plaque and gingival index among smokers in all groups; (ii) significant difference in the CAL between smoker and non-smoke in CP and AgP groups; (iii) significant increase in caries risk among smokers in all groups; (iv) smokers and non-smokers of AgP group had significantly lower mean DMFT scores than those of CG or CP groups.

Abstract
Objective- To explore different socio-cultural, psychological, physical and legal issues related to smoking and to determine whether the effects of passive smoking are similar to those of active smoking. Design- Literature Review. Setting- Various published materials such as books, journals, online journals, internet, websites, leaflets and booklets. Method- A review of the literature was carried out by looking at published materials such as books, journals, online journals, internet websites, leaflets and booklets published by different organisations, and data and information so obtained were interpreted in the light of the current situation. Results- The presence of tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke increases the risk of developing respiratory symptoms, thrombosis and cardiovascular disease as well as lung cancer. Smoking reduces productivity and increases health care costs. Other forms of tobacco consumption include chewing on its own or with betel, snuff and hookah smoking. The medico-legal aspects of smoking have been found to be complex. The imposition of tax on cigarettes, originally intended to restrict the use of cigarettes, soon proved to be a profitable source of government revenue. Recently, individuals, and in some countries, the government have been suing tobacco companies for the damages caused to smokers, and such litigation is becoming increasingly common. Conclusions- Smoking is a complex problem and cannot easily be eradicated, especially as it involves the interests of different parties: smokers, the government and tobacco companies, which are unlikely to be in agreement with one another. However, steps should be taken to minimise the damage caused by the habit to prevent it posing a serious threat to the health of the nation. Health professionals can contribute to this by offering advice and providing information and treatment for smokers wishing to stop.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Fraternity and sorority members have higher rates of smoking than other college students. This systematic review examines studies that included fraternity/sorority membership in their investigation of smoking behaviors. PARTICIPANTS/METHODS: Studies identified in MEDLINE, PsychInfo, JSTOR, CINAHL, ERIC, and Google Scholar published between 2003 and 2013 were included if they included fraternity and/or sorority membership, were written in English, published in a peer-reviewed journal, and had smoking as an outcome variable. Nineteen studies were identified for the review. RESULTS: Fraternity/sorority members were more likely to be nondaily smokers. Members who lived in the fraternity/sorority house had higher rates of smoking than members who lived elsewhere. Fraternity/sorority member smoking was associated with alcohol and other substance use. The influence of no-smoking policies on fraternity/sorority member smoking was also examined. CONCLUSIONS: Fraternity/sorority membership was associated with higher rates of smoking, but this association was influenced by other substance use and environmental factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare, in the twin-island republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the prevalence of symptoms of asthma and rhinitis among children of primary school age who are exposed to household environmental tobacco smoke with the prevalence of these symptoms in their colleagues without this exposure. METHODS: Between September and December 2002, questionnaires based on the instrument developed for the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) were distributed, via the children in their schools, to parents of 6,611 Year 2 pupils (typically 6 years old) or Year 3 pupils (typically 7 years old) in 106 randomly selected schools in Trinidad and Tobago (5,511 pupils on Trinidad and 1,100 pupils on Tobago). We added to the standard ISAAC questionnaires two questions, one on household smoking and one on the ethnicity of the children. RESULTS: A total of 3 170 completed questionnaires were suitable for further analysis (2,618 from Trinidad and 552 from Tobago). On Trinidad 782 of the children (29.9%) lived in homes where one or both parents smoked, and 513 (19.6%) had other relatives in the household who smoked. On Tobago 94 of the pupils (17.0%) had parents who smoked, and 84 (15.4%) came from homes where other residents smoked. Parental smoking was significantly associated with wheezing (odds ratio (OR): 1.43; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.83), exercise-induced wheezing (OR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.59-2.82), nocturnal coughing (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.37-1.97), and symptoms of rhinitis (OR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.10-1.65) in the last 12 months as well as a history of hay fever/sinus problems (OR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.11-1.74). Smoking in the home by adult residents other than parents was also significantly associated with all of these symptoms as well as a history of asthma (OR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.13-1.97). In terms of ethnic differences, parental smoking was most prevalent in the homes of South Asian students, while smoking by other adults in the home occurred most commonly in the households of pupils of mixed race. CONCLUSIONS: Even in Trinidad and Tobago, which is a tropical environment where more time is spent outdoors and homes have more open ventilation than in temperate climates, environmental tobacco smoke exposure is closely associated with an increased prevalence of symptoms of asthma and rhinitis in primary-school-aged children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Second-hand smoke contains several toxic chemicals that are known to pollute the air and harm people's health. In India, smoking in public places has been prohibited since October 2008 as a way to reduce second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure. The purpose of the present study was to assess the implementation of smoke-free policies and its impact on indoor air quality by measuring the PM(2.5) levels in bars and restaurants, restaurants, country liquor bars, hookah restaurants and pubs in Mumbai. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Air quality measurements at 50 venues were conducted by using a "SIDEPAK() AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor" during April to May 2009. Average concentration of PM(2.5) (mug/m(3)) particles was calculated separately for each venue. RESULTS: Smoking was observed in 36% of the surveyed venues during an hour of data collection. The PM(2.5) levels ranged from 16.97 to 1101.76 mug/m(3). The average level of PM(2.5) among non-smoking venues was 97.19 mug/m(3) and among smoking venues was 363.04 mug/m(3). CONCLUSION: Considerable scope for improvement in implementation of smoke-free policies exists. The PM(2.5) levels were exceedingly high in venues where smoking was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To measure the smoking behaviour and attitudes among Saudi adults residing in Riyadh City, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: Primary health care centres (PHCCs) in Riyadh City were selected by stratified random sampling. Subjects resident in each PHCC catchment area were selected by systematic sampling from their records in the PHCCs; 1534 adults aged 15 years and older were interviewed during January to April 1994. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported smoking prevalence; age of smoking initiation; daily cigarette consumption; duration of smoking; reasons for smoking, not smoking, and quitting smoking; intentions to smoke in the future; and attitudes toward various tobacco control measures. RESULTS: 25.3% of respondents were current smokers, 10.2% were ex-smokers, and 64.5% had never smoked. About 79% of all smokers started smoking between the ages of 15 and 30 years, and 19.5% before age 15. Significantly higher smoking prevalence and daily cigarette consumption were associated with being male, single, and being more highly educated. Relief of psychological tension, boredom, and imitating others were the most important reasons for smoking, whereas health and religious considerations were the most important reasons for not smoking among never-smokers, for quitting among ex-smokers, and for attempting to quit or thinking about quitting among current smokers. About 90% of all subjects thought that they would not smoke in the future. Physicians and religious men were identified as the most effective anti-smoking advocates by a much higher proportion of respondents (44%) than nurses, health educators, and teachers (each less than 5%). Health and religious education were generally cited as more effective in deterring smoking than tobacco control laws and policies. CONCLUSIONS: Cigarette smoking is prevalent among Saudi adults in Riyadh, particularly males, most of whom begin to smoke rather early in life and continue for many years. Health and religious education should be the cornerstone for any organised tobacco control activities, which are urgently needed to combat the expected future epidemic of smoking-related health problems.

Abstract
The connection between smoking behaviour (number of puffs, puff volume, depth of inhalation, duration of inhalation) and the increase in both nicotine and carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) in venous blood was investigated with methods developed especially for measurement of the puff volume, the depth of inhalation, and the duration of inhalation in 28 inhaling cigarette smokers. A significant correlation could be demonstrated between the smoking parameters and the nicotine and carboxyhaemoglobin increase. The weighting obtained shows that the number of puffs is the most important parameter affecting the increase in nicotine, whereas the depth of inhalation and the puff volume are of much less relevance. The duration of inhalation does not affect the nicotine level. A significant increase in nicotine cannot be attained in non-inhalative smoking of cigarettes with an acid mainstream smoke (n = 14). The increase in COHb is most affected by the puff volume, and slightly less by the number of puffs and the depth of inhalation. The duration of inhalation does not affect the COHb level.
