“…The two later legislation phases could not yet be examined because data were not yet available. To our knowledge, only one previous study has investigated cardiovascular effects of a smoking ban that was implemented in separate phases, thereby focusing on sudden circulatory arrest (SCA) 18. With 6 years of data before the first smoking ban, and 3 years of data after the second ban, the prelegislative and postlegislative periods used in this analysis are relatively long compared to most other studies 3–6.…”

“…Smoking bans and increased taxation of tobacco and alcohol have been proven to reduce CVD 6 47. In the Netherlands, the working-place smoking ban significantly decreased the rates of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac deaths by about 12% (figure 4),48 while in Brazil about 420 000 deaths are estimated to have been prevented due to tobacco reduction over the years 1989–2010 49…”

The modern definition of Global Health has expanded its scope beyond neglected diseases and low-income and underdeveloped countries. The current initiatives focus on improvement of health, reduction of disparities and protection against global threats, seeking for interaction with health practices, policies and systems. There has been a growing interest on Global Health research, given the epidemiological transition currently underway in low and mid-income countries and the increasing epidemiological importance of cardiovascular and other non-communicable diseases, to the detriment of infectious diseases and nutritional deficiencies. Various aspects-formerly neglected-of these diseases, such as epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis and therapy, have been addressed in Global Health publications, leading to a better understanding of the importance of health as a public good, beyond borders. Scientific evidence supports broader initiatives in which governments, foundations and the civil society must share responsibilities and funding to achieve health equity, the main goal of Global Health.

“…In many developed countries, implementation of smokefree legislations has resulted in rapid reductions in prevalence of smokers and hospitalizations. [96][97][98][99] For instance in New York City, a comprehensive ban on smoking in all public spaces was implemented in 2002, which resulted in a 15% reduction in the prevalence of adult smoking. 100 Similar smoke-free legislations covering all sections of the society need to be aggressively pursued in LMICs that will ensure establishing public areas, work places, and restaurants that are tobacco-free, thereby reducing the social acceptability of tobacco use and encouraging current tobacco users to quit.…”

Abstract-All forms of tobacco lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disorders. During the past few decades, the number of people who consume tobacco has increased worldwide because of an overall increase in the global population. It is estimated that close to 80% of the >1.3 billion people who smoke tobacco in the world are in low-and middle-income countries. Smokeless forms of tobacco are also widely consumed in low-and middle-income countries, including chewable and snuffed forms. Lack of targeted and effective strategies to control tobacco consumption contributes to a large burden of cardiovascular disorders in low-and middle-income countries, where cardiovascular disorders have become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In this review, we evaluate the epidemiology of tobacco use in low-and middle-income countries and assess the public health policies needed to control tobacco use in such regions for the prevention of cardiovascular disorders and other tobacco-related morbidities and mortality. Bidis and Kreteks Some of the smoked tobacco products are largely regionally specific. These products include bidis and kretes. Bidis are made of tobacco flakes wrapped in a nontobacco leaf (temburani or tendu) and are widely used in South Asia. 2 Flavoring ingredients are sometime added to bidis. Majority of bidis are manufactured in small cottage industries in South Asia. 16 Bidi smoking in India is more prevalent than manufactured cigarettes. [17][18][19] Bidi sales have not been subject to taxes and until recently they carried no health warnings. 20 Because of lower costs than manufactured cigarettes, bids are frequently smoked by poor people who have less education and are usually unaware of the health hazards associated with tobacco smoking. 17 Kreteks are largely produced in Indonesia and contain tobacco, clove buds, and a wide variety of additives (eg, caca, flavors). 21,22 Cloves contain eugenol, which acts as a local anesthetic in airways inducing more intense smoking than manufactured cigarettes. [23][24][25] Majority of kreteks have been machine made since the mechanization of the industry in the 1970s. 26 It is estimated that >90% of all smokers in Indonesia use kreteks. 27 Both bidis and kreteks are exported to other parts of the world including Europe and North America. 28 Studies examining smoking patterns, CO exposure, and nicotine delivery have found bidis and kreteks to differ little from manufactured cigarettes. 16,[29][30][31] Waterpipes There are various names by which waterpipes are known in different regions, including shisha, hookah, goza, and narghile. 32 Typical waterpipes combust tobacco (usually with the help of charcoal), and smoke is passed through a bowl of water before being inhaled through a hose. 32 A wide variety of products may be added along with tobacco for combustion, including hashish and other flavoring agents. 22 Despite a common association of waterpipe tobacco consumption with the Eastern Mediterranean region, waterpipe tobacco consumption is also high in ce...
