“… 58 There are few published studies on the subject, although some cited reasons for reverse smoking include preventing cigarette ashes from falling on laundered clothes, counteracting the odor of soiled diapers when washing, keeping the body warm while planting rice, and driving away mosquitos while gathering sweet potatoes. 58 Reverse smoking is also seen in older women from rural India 59 and other countries in South and Central America, South Asia, and the Caribbean. 58 …”

“…That same year, 32,268 patients were hospitalized for this pathology, but 95% were associated with alcohol and tobacco intoxication [5] [6]. The risk of developing head and neck cancer increases with the number of cigarettes smoked and with the duration of smoking [7]. Tobacco is involved in 54% to 87% of head and neck cancers [8].…”

Background: In recent years, head and neck cancers have become common worldwide, ranking sixth in incidence. In 2007, in France the incidence increased by 14,697 including 11,158 among men, which places them in fourth place. The same year, 32,268 patients were hospitalized for this pathology, but 95% are associated with alcohol and tobacco poisoning. Few data exist on these cancers in Africa and Senegal. In recent years, many studies have hypothesized that about 25% of head and neck cancers are associated with high-risk oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV) whose role in cervical cancer was already widely established. Objective: To know the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in head and neck cancers, particularly hypopharyngeal cancer. Material and method: This study was carried out on samples of biopsies of hypopharynx cancerous tissue (ulcerative-budding lesion) and healthy oropharyngeal tissue obtained from the ENT department of the Fann hospital, then sent to the Molecular Biology Unit of the Ouakam military hospital (HMO). The nucleic acids extraction was carried out using the standard method of the Zymo research kit "Quick-DNA TM Miniprep Plus kit" https://www.zymoresearch.com/. Molecular HPV detection and genotyping were performed by multiplex RT-PCR with the Seegene Anyplex TM II HPV28 kit Detection on a Biorad CFX96 automaton according to the manufacturer's protocol for the simultaneous genotyping of 28 types of HPV including 19 at High Risk
