Introduction: The objective of this work was to assess the background of the implementation of the ban of tobacco sales to minors before the change of French law in 2016.
Methods: The analysis focused on two questions to teenagers on buying tobacco, added to the four cross-sectional annual surveys of the association "Paris Sans Tabac" from 2012 to 2015.
Results: In total, 7025 schoolchildren (12-15 years old), 3299 high school students (16-17 years old) and 3243 adult students (18-20 years old) responded. The proportion of daily smokers was respectively 3.2%, 19.0% and 22.0%. The overall smoking rate (daily+occasional) was 13.8%, 37.9% and 39.5% respectively. Among daily smokers, 90.7% of respondents had bought their tobacco from tobacconist. This source was used by 74.6% of daily smokers aged 12-15 years, 92.0% of the 16-17 years old and 94.0% of the18-19 years old teenagers. Drinking more than four glasses of alcohol on the same day or having used cannabis in the preceding month was associated with a greater chance of buying tobacco at the tobacconist. Starting to buy tobacco from a tobacconist below the age of 12 was associated with a high dependence score (HSI=2.4±1.9) compared to those who bought after 15 years (HSI=0.5±0.7) (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Before 2016, Parisian teenagers who smoked daily mostly bought their cigarettes from a tobacconist.

Smokers' perceived cancer risks: attributions of the risks and the roles of risks in planning to quit smoking.
Psychol Health Med
January 2025
Communication Studies, The State University of New York, New Paltz, NY, USA.
This study proposed that smokers' perceived cancer risks differ emotionally and cognitively; the former is based on perceived smoking-related causes, while the latter is based more on perceived non-smoking related causes. It further examined the role of perceived reasons for cancer risk, as well as perceived risks, in planning smoking cessation. The study drew a sample of daily smokers, intermittent smokers and previous smokers (as a reference category) from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS).

Background: Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is a population health indicator that is widely used in developed countries, but little is known about its relationships with combinations of non-communicable disease risk factors. This study was conducted to examine HLE at age 65 according to combinations of blood pressure levels, body mass index, smoking status, and diabetes mellitus (DM) in a Japanese population.
Methods: In a nationwide cohort study (NIPPON DATA90), data on these risk factors were obtained from participants in 1990 through physical examinations, blood tests, interviews, and questionnaires.

Background: Preceding studies of environmental and occupational risk factors of sarcoidosis yielded inconsistent findings.
Aims: We aimed to ascertain the occupational risk factors for sarcoidosis in a case-control study.
Methods: A total of 237 sarcoidosis patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis were matched with 474 controls for sex and age (median 49, interquartile range 37; 60 years) recruited from the university hospitals and outpatient centres in Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.

Background: Clinical studies of biologics in severe asthma exclude smokers or ex-smokers (ExS) with over 10 pack-years (py). Thus, the effectiveness of this therapy in ex-smokers with severe asthma is not well understood.
Objectives: To assess the impact of smoking on clinical efficiency of biologics in patients with severe asthma from the German Asthma Net (GAN), a comprehensive international registry.

Air pollutants directly and indirectly cause vitamin D deficiency (VDD). In addition, smoking increases oxidative stress and accelerates skin aging, thereby reducing the body's vitamin D concentration. Previous study reported that VDD increases total cholesterol concentration by reducing vitamin D receptor activity.
