Lung cancer in never smokers — a different disease
TLDR
Current knowledge of lung cancers arising in never smokers versus smokers is summarized, suggesting that they are separate entities.
Cigarette smoking and glutathione S‐transferase M1 polymorphism associated with risk for uterine cervical cancer
TLDR
The role of tobacco smoking and polymorphisms of carcinogen metabolism genes in cervical carcinogenesis are studied to elucidate the role of cancer-causing substances in women's health.
Cigarette smoking and site-specific cancer mortality: testing uncertain associations using extended follow-up of the original Whitehall study.
TLDR
Cigarette smoking appears to be a risk factor for several malignancies of previously unclear association with tobacco use and mortality rates for malignancy of the colon, rectum and prostate and for lymphatic leukaemia were elevated in current and/or former smokers.

TLDR
This work presents 23 cases of work exposure to asbestos in a range of exposure scenarios where the workers developed tumours of the kidney and bladder.
Cigarette smoking, educational level and total and site-specific cancer: a cohort study in men in Lithuania
TLDR
Findings suggest a lower risk of prostate cancer in current smokers and the occurrence of lung and UADT cancer was significantly elevated in men in the lowest educational attainment category, which should be a public health priority.
Tobacco Smoking: A Factor of Early Onset of Colorectal Cancer
TLDR
Screening for colorectal cancer should not involve a simple sigmoidoscopy but also an exploration of transverse colon in smokers, especially for slow-transit bowel segments.
A prospective study of tobacco and alcohol use as risk factors for pharyngeal carcinomas in Singapore Chinese
TLDR
The authors analyzed this relation in a cohort of Singapore Chinese, which is a population with a high incidence of NPC, and found that smoking and alcohol are synergistic risk factors for NPC.
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and the risk of colorectal cancer in a case–control study from Germany
TLDR
The findings do not indicate a major impact of ETS on CRC risk but suggest that risk may be increased following spousal exposure.

TLDR
It is illustrated that ceasing to smoke cigarettes can lead to reductions in the elevated risk of pancreas cancer produced by this habit and consistent with a causal role for cigarette smoking in the aetiology of pancreatic cancer.
Risk factors for adenocarcinoma of the small intestine
TLDR
Dietary correlates of adenocarcinoma of the small intestine are similar to those of colon cancer and at least of the same magnitude, and a moderate association between these factors and small bowel cancer may have been obscured by the play of chance.
Dietary determinants of gastric cancer in south Louisiana inhabitants.
TLDR
Diet was found to be the main determinant of gastric cancer risk in south Louisiana, and dietary patterns and dietary risk factors differed for blacks and Whites, although fruits as a group and dietary vitamin C were found to exert strong protective effects for both blacks and whites.
