According to a WHO report of 1997, more than one-third of the world population of more than 15 years old smokes. Since the 90s, smoking progressed amongst women and teenagers. The noxious roles of smoking addiction to smoking on male and female fertility, pregnancy and delivery are often little known or underestimated by the public and most healthcare professionals. In France, smoking addiction provokes 60,000 deaths every year and is one of the first avoidable perinatal causes of mortality and morbidity. The alarming extension of the epidemic of the feminine addiction to smoking has increased the number of complications (infertilities, ectopic pregnancy, premature abortions, premature delivery, intra-uterine growth retardation).

School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Adolescence is a vulnerable period for the onset of mental disorders and risk behaviours. Based on the Health-Promoting Schools Framework, whole-school interventions offer a promising strategy in this developmentally-sensitive cohort, through championing a systems-based approach to promotion and prevention that involves the key stakeholders in an adolescent's life. The evidence-base surrounding the effectiveness of whole-school interventions, however, remains inconclusive, partly due to the insufficient number of studies in previous meta-analyses.

Institute for Mental Health and Policy Research, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Canada.
Introduction: Rural regions generally report higher smoking rates than urban centers, which increases the risk of tobacco related harms and consequences, and makes promoting smoking cessation in these areas a priority. Mass distribution of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) by postal mail has been found to increase the odds of successful cessation attempts. Understanding factors that contribute to the use of NRT could help maximize this intervention's effectiveness.

Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Baltimore, MD (Z.Y., E.T., Z.A.D., K.K.J., N.O., T.R., E.B., M.J.B.).
Background: Understanding the association of tobacco product use with subclinical markers is essential in evaluating health effects to inform regulatory policy. This is particularly relevant for noncigarette products (eg, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco), which have been understudied because of their low prevalence in individual cohort studies.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 98 450 participants from the Cross-Cohort Collaboration-Tobacco data set.
