“…Although the present and previous studies are difficult to compare because different instruments were used to categorize personality traits, Agreeableness exhibited positive bivariate relationships with some health behaviours that inversely parallel associations with Hostility from other published studies [15][16][17]. However, Agreeableness did not remain an independent associate after adjustment for age and sex, except that greater Agreeableness was weakly associated with less self-monitoring of blood glucose.…”

“…The increasing usage of smokeless tobacco products combined with the ill‐perceived notion that it is a relatively safe product compared to cigarettes, may pose a substantial threat to public health in the coming years. These data in conjunction with other evidence show that tobacco is dangerous in any form 24. Public health practitioners throughout the world need to recognize this and implement proper regulatory approaches before the usage of such tobacco products parallels that of south Asia.…”

Hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers are among the most common cancers in India. In addition to smoking, tobacco chewing may be a major risk factor for some of these cancers in India. Using data from a multicentric case–control study conducted in India that included 513 hypopharyngeal cancer cases, 511 laryngeal cancer cases and 718 controls, we investigated smoking and chewing tobacco products as risk factors for these cancers. Bidi smoking was a stronger risk factor compared to cigarette smoking for cancer of the hypopharynx (ORbidi 6.80 vs. ORcig 3.82) and supraglottis (ORbidi 7.53 vs. ORcig 2.14), while the effect of the 2 products was similar for cancer of the glottis (ORbidi 5.32 vs. ORcig 5.74). Among never‐smokers, tobacco chewing was a risk factor for hypopharyngeal cancer, but not for laryngeal cancer. In particular, the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer increased with the use of Khaini (OR 2.02, CI 0.81–5.05), Mawa (OR 3.17, CI 1.06–9.53), Pan (OR 3.34, CI 1.68–6.61), Zarda (OR 3.58, CI 1.20–10.68) and Gutkha (OR 4.59, CI 1.21–17.49). A strong dose‐response relationship was observed between chewing frequency and the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer (ptrend < 0.001). An effect of alcohol on cancer of the hypopharynx and supraglottis was observed only among daily drinkers (OR 2.22, CI 1.11–4.45 and OR 3.76, CI 1.25–11.30, respectively). In summary, this study shows that chewing tobacco products commercially available in India are risk factors for hypopharyngeal cancer, and that the potency of Bidi smoking may be higher than that of cigarette smoking for hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

“…During inhalation, smokers absorb nicotine and carcinogens, such as N -nitrosamines, aromatic hydrocarbons, and polonium-210. 3, 12 Nicotine absorbed in the bloodstream enhances addiction potential, leading to tobacco and nicotine dependence. Additionally, smokers are exposed to tar, carbon monoxide, and over 7000 chemical toxins in tobacco smoke, which enter the bloodstream and are distributed throughout the body.…”

Background Recently, the range of tobacco products available in the United States and the patterns of tobacco product use have changed. While cigarette smoking prevalence has declined, dental professionals are likely to encounter many more users of new and alternative tobacco products among their patients. Approach This paper reviews conventional and new tobacco products currently available, their adverse oral and systemic health effects, and their prevalence of use in the US. Results Tobacco products other than cigarettes currently account for a substantial portion of tobacco use. For this reason, tobacco prevention and cessation counseling provided by dental professionals must address all tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, waterpipes (hookahs), and electronic cigarettes, as well as conventional and new smokeless tobacco products. Cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use are associated with immediate and long-term adverse health effects, including nicotine addiction, oral and systemic disease, and death. Novel products may attract new tobacco users, potentially leading to addiction that results in enduring tobacco product use and associated adverse health effects. Practical Implications Dental professionals regularly treat patients who use tobacco or who are at risk of initiating use. Therefore, it is essential that dental professionals are knowledgeable about tobacco products currently available and are able to answer patients' questions and to provide them with evidence-based tobacco-related counseling.
