Few studies have examined adolescent reporting accuracy for secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe), and never for youth with cancer. SHSe reporting from adolescents being treated for cancer (=14.92 years, SD=1.67) was examined against parent/guardian reports and urine cotinine among 42 adolescent-parent dyads. Number of days in hospital-based lodgings prior to assessment emerged as the strongest predictor of urine cotinine (=-0.46, =0.003) and adolescent SHSe reporting significantly predicted urine cotinine (=0.37, =0.011) beyond relevant demographic and contextual variables (overall =0.40, (6, 35)=3.90, =0.004). Findings support adolescents as accurate reporters of discrete SHSe occurrences.

Tobacco use and exposure to tobacco products remain a major public health challenge, even among athletes. This study aimed to evaluate tobacco use and second-hand smoke exposure in athletes through urinary cotinine levels and exhaled air carbon monoxide (CO) measurements. This cross-sectional study included licensed athletes who visited the sports medicine outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and tobacco smoke is widespread and linked to various adverse health outcomes. Their potential to disturb the neurological system has raised much concern, particularly among older adults. Thus, we conducted a case-control study to assess the associations between co-exposure to PAHs and nicotine, and the risk of cognitive impairment and oxidative stress in older adults.

Article Synopsis
- Residential smoking cessation therapy can significantly aid heavy smokers, especially those with high dependence and health issues needing immediate intervention.
- Changes in participants' thoughts and feelings about smoking during therapy relate to their success in quitting, with factors like age and coping strategies playing a key role.
- Successful quitters tended to have better emotion regulation strategies and a stronger negative perception of smoking's effects, indicating these psychological aspects are critical to cessation outcomes.

School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of combination nicotine replacement therapy (c-NRT) for smoking cessation among people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa.
Design: We conducted an open label, individually randomized clinical trial.
Methods: Using a two-armed approach, PWH who smoke were randomized to receive either 1) intensive anti-smoking behavioral counseling (BC) or 2) intensive anti-smoking BC plus c-NRT (nicotine patches augmented by nicotine gum).
