“…In our study, current smokers were 4.3 (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.9 -6.4) times more likely than never smokers to have one of these cancers (including vaginal cancers). Studies on smoking and SCC skin have had mixed results (Aubry and MacGibbon, 1985;Karagas et al, 1992;Grodstein et al, 1995;Lear et al, 1998;De Hertog et al, 2001;Odenbro et al, 2005). Current smokers were also at 3.9 (95% CI, 2.1 -7.3) times the risk of SCC of the skin of never smokers, which is not dissimilar to estimates in other case -control studies where risks ranged from 2.3 to 3.3 (Aubry and MacGibbon, 1985;De Hertog et al, 2001).…”

Demographic and lifestyle information from 9690 black patients diagnosed with cancer or cardiovascular disease was collected in an ongoing case -control study in Johannesburg, South Africa. Compared to never smokers, the odds ratio (OR) for lung cancer among current smokers was 16.3 (95% confidence interval (CI), 9.6 -27.6) for men and 6.4 (95% CI, 4.0 -10.4) for women. The corresponding OR for other smoking-related cancers was 4.6 (95% CI, 3.7 -5.7) among men and 1.9 (95% CI, 1.6 -2.2) among women, and for cardiovascular disease, 3.4 (95% CI, 2.1 -5.4) among men and 1.5 (95% CI, 1.1 -2.1) among women. Risks were higher among smokers than former smokers, and all risk estimates increased with increasing levels of smoking duration and intensity. Non-electric domestic fuel was associated with approximately 60% increase in the risk of smoking-related cancer, but not cardiovascular disease. Risks for cancers of cervix, oesophagus, oral cavity/pharynx, stomach, larynx, pancreas and anogenital region, as well as squamous cell carcinoma of skin were all significantly higher among current than never-smokers, with ORs ranging from 1.5 for cervix (95% CI, 1.2 -1.8) to 14.7 for larynx (95% CI, 7.2 -30). The risks of tobacco-related disease reported here are similar to that currently observed in Western countries, even though cigarette consumption is relatively low in this population.

“…We did, however, corroborate a previous report of the association between increased alcohol consumption and past smoking with a higher prevalence of NMSC (Aubry and MacGibbon, 1985;Grodstein et al, 1995;Veierod et al, 1997;De Hertog et al, 2001). We also found that past smoking was associated with an increased prevalence of NMSC, although current smokers had the lowest rate of NMSC.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between daily coffee consumption and nonmelanoma skin cancer. This study was a cross-sectional analysis of women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (n = 93 676). As nearly all cases of self-reported nonmelanoma skin cancer occurred among Caucasian women (97.8%), we focused our analyses on this group. Compared with nondrinkers, women drinking only caffeinated coffee on a daily basis had a 10.8% lower prevalence of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Consumption of six or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day was associated with a 36% reduction in nonmelanoma skin cancer. After adjusting for various demographic and life style variables, daily consumption of six or more cups was associated with a 30% reduced prevalence of nonmelanoma skin cancer. In contrast to caffeinated coffee, daily consumption of decaffeinated coffee was not associated with a significant change in self-reported nonmelanoma skin cancer for Caucasian women. Daily caffeinated coffee consumption was associated with a dose-related decreased prevalence of nonmelanoma skin cancer in Caucasian women.

“…43,44 In one of the largest studies, Grodstein et al 45 prospectively examined the risk of developing cutaneous SCC in relation to skin type, sun exposure, cigarette smoking, and other factors. They showed during an 8-year observation of a cohort of 107,900 predominantly white young women that smokers had a 50% greater chance of developing cutaneous SCC than nonsmokers (RR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1-2.1).…”
