Despite advances in lung cancer treatment, tobacco control measures are the most effective in curbing the lung cancer epidemic. Nevertheless, smoking cessation at all stages of the cancer process is associated with benefits in terms of cure, improved life expectancy and quality of life for patients, reduced medical or surgical complications, and reduced risk of recurrence or occurrence of a second primary cancer.

Neuropsychological assessment fails to predict relapse among cigarette smokers: A prospective study of neurocognitive abilities.

Objectives: Understanding the factors that lead to relapse is a major challenge for the clinical support of smoking cessation. Neurocognitive abilities such as attention, executive functioning and working memory, are possible predictors of relapse and can be easily assessed in everyday clinical practice. In this prospective longitudinal study, we investigated the relationship between pre-smoking cessation neurocognitive performance and relapse at six months in a sample of patients being treated for their tobacco dependence.

[Influence of post-traumatic stress disorder on asthma].

Introduction: Exposure to a traumatic event may not only lead to a large variety of mental disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also respiratory symptoms and/or respiratory diseases, as asthma.

Objectives: Systematic literature review of data on the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on asthma.

Documentary Sources: Medline, on the period 1980-2018 with the following keywords: "PTSD" or "post-traumatic stress disorder" or "post-traumatic stress disorder" and "asthma", limits "title/abstract"; the selected languages were English or French.

[COPD: think about occupational exposures!].

Copd: think about occupational exposures! Unfortunately, the occupational exposures of COPD are still poorly taught and poorly researched, although they account for 15 to 20% of all COPD. The clinician must know them well and therefore systematically seek them for any newly diagnosed case. A thorough and rigorous professional interview allows to trace the entire professional career, even when the patient smokes.

Relationship between Tobacco Craving and Quality of Life among French Students: Results of a Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Understanding the factors leading to smoking cessation is of primary importance in reducing the death burden. Recently introduced in the DSM-5, craving is a potentially promising mechanism involved in relapse, but its articulation with quality of life and deprivation on tobacco student's consumers has never been investigated.

Objectives: Our study explores the relationship between tobacco craving and sub-dimensions of quality of life when controlling effect of deprivation on a youth population with tobacco consumption.
