Relationship Between Adolescent Perception of Harm, Electronic Cigarette Use, and Texas Antitobacco Campaigns
- Medicine
- 2019
Though majority of adolescents perceived e-cigarettes as harmful, exposure to state and school antitobacco programs are not completely effective at discouraging use, and may provide potential impact for positive social change for adolescents and tobacco cessation by increasing understanding of what factors are associated with increased/decreased perception of harm.

It is demonstrated that high intake of fruits and vegetables may be particularly beneficial in smokers, and the risk estimates associated with cigarette smoking were higher among those with low fruit consumption than among frequent fruit‐eaters.

A large case-control study examining the interaction between dietary, smoking and drinking habits, and acetylation genotype in relation to susceptibility to colorectal cancer reveals a new observation that slow acetylators may be at risk of colon cancer from smoking.
Mortality in relation to tar yield of cigarettes: a prospective study of four cohorts
- MedicineBMJ
- 1995
Reducing cigarette tar yields in Britain has had a modest effect in reducing smoking related mortality, and about a quarter of deaths from lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and possibly other smoking related diseases would have been avoided by lowering tar yield.
Emerging tobacco hazards in China

It is suggested that the study can be more easily understood if it is described as a case-control mortality study, and the authors’ assumption that the smoking rates of the male and female reference groups were only slightly higher than those of the surviving spouses of the people who had died is validated.
Alcohol Consumption, Smoking and Risk of Gastric Cancer: Case—Control Study from Moscow, Russia

Alcohol consumption, particularly vodka consumption, was found to increase the risk of gastric cancer and interactions between effect of smoking and alcohol consumption and between smoking and H. pylori infection status further support the role of alcohol Consumption and smoking in the etiology of Gastric cancer.
Synergy between asbestos and smoking on lung cancer risks.
- MedicineEpidemiology
- 1999
Examination of data from 12 epidemiologic studies for quantitative evidence of biologic synergy between asbestos and smoking on lung cancer risks suggests that one-third of cancer cases among smokers who were exposed to asbestos can be attributed to the synergistic behavior of the two carcinogens.
Smoking and bladder cancer risk in Blacks and Whites in the United States
- MedicineCancer Causes & Control

Estimation of risk by dose and currency of exposure revealed no consistent racial disparities in smoking-related risks, and race-specific, attributable risk estimates indicated that nearly half of bladder cancers among both Blacks and Whites could have been prevented by elimination of smoking.

Emerging tobacco hazards in China: 2. Early mortality results from a prospective study
- MedicineBMJ
- 1998
It is shown that by 1990 smoking was already causing about 12% of Chinese male mortality in middle age, and this proportion is predicted to rise to about 33% by 2030, and long term continuation of the prospective study with periodic resurveys can monitor the evolution of this epidemic.
