Oral cancer remains a significant public health concern globally, with smoking being a primary risk factor. Smoking cessation has been identified as a crucial intervention in reducing the incidence of oral cancer. This abstract reviews the impact of smoking cessation on oral cancer prevention, emphasizing the benefits of quitting smoking in decreasing the risk of developing oral malignancies. Evidence suggests that smoking cessation not only reduces the immediate risk of oral cancer but also contributes to long-term health improvements. The mechanisms through which smoking cessation exerts its protective effects, including the reduction of carcinogenic exposure and enhancement of oral mucosal health, are discussed. Public health strategies and interventions aimed at promoting smoking cessation are also highlighted as essential components in oral cancer prevention efforts.

Background: Adolescent smoking is a significant public health concern, as early nicotine addiction leads to more severe addiction and reduced cessation success during adulthood. While nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is an effective smoking cessation tool in adults, its efficacy in adolescents is less clear.
Objective: This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of NRT for smoking cessation in adolescents.

The use of psychoactive products by young adults is usually described as part of their exploratory identity development. This behavior is facilitated by social and structural contexts where these substances are perceived as legal and easily accessible. While the motivations for initiating and continuing the use of tobacco and alcohol are well-documented, the same cannot be said for e-cigarettes.

Purpose: Evaluate safety and efficacy of lung cancer cryoablation in patients with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) recurrence.
Materials And Methods: Between 9/2018 and 11/2023, all patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with lung cryoablation after SBRT recurrence were retrospectively identified. Histories of smoking, COPD, post-procedural pneumothorax, adverse events requiring immediate post-procedural hospitalization, and initiation/worsening of home oxygen requirements 3-6 months later were obtained.
