Article Synopsis
- Smoking contributes to insulin resistance and negatively impacts beta-cell function, both of which are poorly understood factors linked to the development of type-2 diabetes.
- Active smoking harms glycemic control in both type-1 and type-2 diabetics, increasing all-cause mortality and exacerbating diabetes-related complications, while its effects on specific complications are still debated.
- There’s a lack of comprehensive data on smoking cessation strategies tailored for diabetic patients, highlighting the need for diabetes specialists to actively engage in supporting smoking cessation efforts.
Smoking during pregnancy is associated with negative pregnancy and perinatal health outcomes. Physiological and societal particularities can modify the smoking behavior of pregnant women. Pregnancy is a teachable moment for smoking cessation.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how burnout affects the relationship between workaholism and substance use (tobacco and alcohol) among 2199 employees of a French electricity company.
- Results showed a significant link between workaholism and smoking, with burnout acting as a mediator, while the connection between workaholism and alcohol use was mainly indirect through burnout, as the direct link wasn't significant.
- The findings suggest that addressing burnout in workaholic individuals could reduce their tobacco and alcohol consumption, highlighting the need for better preventive measures in the workplace.
