“…Cancer is a malignant neoplasms disease driven by mutations that cause changes in the genome of normal cells. These mutations are consequence by exposition to chemical, physical, or environmental agents [102][103][104]. In recent years, PD has been identified as a risk factor that increases the development of cancer [105].…”

Periodontal disease (PD) comprises a group of diseases involving inflammatory aspects of the host and dysbiotic events that affect periodontal tissues and could have systemic implications. Diverse factors and comorbidities have been closely associated with PD such as diabetes, obesity, aging, hypertension, and so on; although, underlying mechanisms or causal associations have not been established completely. Interestingly, these same factors have been widely associated with progression or severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an illness caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Since inflammatory and dysbiotic factors as well as comorbidities affect systemic health, it is possible that periodontal status indicates the risk of complication of COVID-19. However, assessment of oral health history including periodontal status in COVID-19 patients has not been reported. Knowing PD is associated with severe COVID-19 could help identify risk groups and establish pertinent recommendations. Evaluation of hypothesis: Shared risk factors by PD and severe COVID-19 illness AgingAging is considered a process that causes degenerative changes at the cellular level and sometimes leads to various diseases that can be

Smoking cessation seems to be a weak link in the struggle against tobacco epidemic in Pakistan. Awareness regarding nicotine is lacking not only in the general population but also among public health practitioners. This lack of knowledge is one of the key barriers to bringing down the prevalence of smoking. Using primary survey data and nonparametric econometric techniques, this study assesses the knowledge of nicotine and harm reduction among public health practitioners in Pakistan. Results indicate physicians have misconceptions about nicotine. The majority of the medical professionals associate nicotine use with birth defects, cancer, cardiovascular illness, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). More than two-thirds of doctors (70%) strongly agreed and 17.9% somewhat agreed with the statement that nicotine causes cancer. This study suggests physicians need to be better informed about the fact that nicotine in tobacco products is addictive while chemicals, particularly those causing combustion, are the primary risk sources for tobacco-related illnesses. Misconceptions regarding nicotine can be quickly remedied with communication interventions. This study also suggests that alternative nicotine delivery systems can help smoking cessation and reduce the consumption of combustible tobacco in Pakistan.

“…Within the tobacco package, increasing excise taxes has a ROI of 1.82, followed by prohibitions on tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship with a return on investment of 1.56. Indonesia can easily expand its tobacco control gains by enforcing existing tobacco legislation, approving the development of a comprehensive tobacco control legislation at the earliest convenience, including the FCTC time-bound commitment to prohibit all forms of tobacco [13][14] .…”
