A questionnaire survey of 222 phthisiopulmonological inpatients has indicated that 21.7 of the males and 4.05% of the females are smokers. Among clinical and morphological forms of tuberculosis, fibrocavernous tuberculosis is prevalent in smokers. Tuberculoma and post tuberculous fibrosis of varying severity are common in never smokers. Smokers are at high risk for lung cancer and at less risk for sarcoidosis with the equal incidence of chronic obstructive lung disease. The paper states that hospital physicians pay little attention to smoking among their patients.

Background: It is estimated that 61% of deaths caused by Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) globally are attributed to lifestyle-related risk factors including tobacco use, alcohol abuse, poor diet, and inadequate physical activity. Meanwhile, inadequate knowledge and misperceptions about CVDs are disproportionately increasing the prevalence of CVDs in Africa. Moreover, pre-diagnosis awareness/knowledge about CVDs among patients is essential in shaping the extent and scope of education to be provided by healthcare workers.

Patients who report current smoking are at high risk for postoperative complications, but it is unknown whether smoking status influences engagement with RSM, symptom severity, or unanticipated acute care visits.
Methods: This observational case-control study was conducted in patients undergoing ambulatory oncologic surgery at a large cancer center.

Objective: Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death among individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) but few persons with SMI are offered smoking cessation treatment. The purpose of this study was to pilot-test a multicomponent intervention to increase the delivery of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment in community mental health clinics (CMHCs).
Method: This study was carried out at five CMHCs in Maryland involving clinicians who participated in training in smoking cessation.
