“…Although the rising mortality in Europe and the US has been placed on the use of smokeless tobacco products (Warnakulasuriya, 2009), smokeless tobacco is virtually unavailable in Mainland China. A significant gender differences in our corhort is coincide with the current smoking trend according to Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) data from Chinese states and WHO conducted during 2009-2010, indicating a prevalence smoking younger males (age group of 24-44y) was approximately 50 times higher than Chinese female (59.3% to 0.6%) and the proportion of smoking female was far less than in the USA (24.3% to 19.8%), UK (29.0% to 25.0%), India (54.4% to 19.0%) and some other countries in the world (Li et al, 2011). That is notable in our study for all the OSCC young female patients declared as non-smokers and non-drinkers.…”

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is predominantly a disease of middle-aged men with long-term exposure to tobacco and alcohol. An increasing trend has been reported at a younger age worldwide. Clinical records of 100 patients under the age of 45 years treated specifically for oral cavity SCC in our hospital during a 10-year period were retrospectively analyzed to calculate the survival rates. An obvious male predominance coincided with smoking trend among Chinese young individuals and female patients were more likely to have no traditional risk factors such as smoking or drinking. The 5-year overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate were 61.0% and 75.5%, respectively, consistent with other published series over the decade showing a relatively better survival among the young. No significant differences clearly correlated with outcome when comparing non-smokers non-drinkers to ever-smokers and ever drinkers (P>0.05). Overall survival rate and disease free survival rate was found to be significantly higher in patients with early-stage disease than with advanced stage disease (P=0.001, P=0.009 respectively). The strong influence of clinical stage on prognosis emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of oral malignancies for this unique clinical subgroup.

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Prosmoking messages, delivered through marketing and the media, can reach very young children and influence attitudes and behaviors around smoking. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Marketing of tobacco and cigarette brands has successfully reached young children in low-and middle-income countries. More effective measures are needed to restrict the reach of tobacco marketing. abstract BACKGROUND: Prosmoking messages, delivered through marketing and the media, can reach very young children and influence attitudes and behaviors around smoking. This study examined the reach of tobacco marketing to 5 and 6 year olds in 6 low-and middle-income countries. METHODS:Researchers worked one-on-one with 5 and 6 year olds in Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Russia (N = 2423). The children were asked to match logos with pictures of products, including 8 logos for cigarette brands. Analyses examined, overall and by country, whether gender, age, location, household use of tobacco, and knowledge of media characters were associated with awareness of cigarette brand logos. Additional analyses considered the relationship between cigarette brand logo awareness and intentions to smoke. RESULTS:Overall, 68% of 5 and 6 year olds could identify at least 1 cigarette brand logo, ranging from 50% in Russia to 86% in China. Across countries, being slightly older and having someone in the household who used tobacco, were significantly associated with greater odds of being able to identify at least 1 cigarette brand logo. CONCLUSIONS:The majority of young children from low-and middleincome countries are familiar with cigarette brands. This study' s findings suggest that more effective measures are needed to restrict the reach of tobacco marketing. Pediatrics 2013;132:e825-e831 AUTHORS:

“…The most recent studies have shown that smoking and harmful use of alcohol are found in 2.4% and 15.0% of Chinese women, respectively. [9][10][11] According to the 2002-2003 World Health Survey, 96.8% of Chinese women consumed insufficient fruit and vegetables, in comparison with 59.3% in Brazil and 74.0% in India. 12 On the other hand, a study of physical activity in 20 countries and regions based on surveys conducted between 2002 and 2004 showed that the rate of physical inactivity among women in mainland China was 6.4%, a figure much lower than in Japan (45.6%); Taiwan, China, (43.3%) and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (16.8%).…”
