“…Further, the burden of antenatal exposure may be underestimated as smoking during pregnancy is often underreported [20,21]. There is large variability in smoking prevalence in different regions [20,22]. The reported overall pooled prevalence of smoking during pregnancy in LMICs is 1.3% (95% CI 0.9–1.8%) with Southeast Asia having the highest pooled regional prevalence of 2.7% (95% CI 1.1–4.8) [20].…”

Introduction: Childhood respiratory illness is a major cause of morbidity and mortality particularly in low and middle-income countries. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a recognised risk factor for both acute and chronic respiratory illness.Areas covered: The aim of this paper was to review the epidemiology of ETS exposure and impact on respiratory health in children. We conducted a search of 3 electronic databases of publications on ETS and childhood respiratory illness from 1990–2015. Key findings were that up to 70% of children are exposed to ETS globally, but under-reporting may mask the true prevalence. Maternal smoking and ETS exposure influence infant lung development and are associated with childhood upper and lower respiratory tract infection, wheezing or asthma. Further, exposure to ETS is associated with more severe respiratory disease. ETS exposure reduces lung function early in life, establishing an increased lifelong risk of poor lung health.Expert commentary: Urgent and effective strategies are needed to decrease ETS exposure in young children to improve child and long-term lung health in adults especially in low and middle income countries where ETS exposure is increasing.

“…20 This could be due to socioeconomic and cultural factors associated with smokeless tobacco use in rural areas. It is evident from the study that caste/ethnicity, birth origin, women's education, dietary habit, alcohol consumption, stress, attendance in mothers' group meetings, and exposure to mass media are risk factors for smokeless tobacco use among pregnant women in Nepal.…”

INTRODUCTIONTobacco use is one of the major public health threats worldwide. 1 In 2010, smokeless tobacco use was attributable to 1.7 million Disability Adjusted Life Years(DALYs) lost and over 62,000 deaths in 113 countries, of which 85% of this burden was in South East Asian countries. 2Tobacco consumption among pregnant women have several adverse consequences on maternal and child health.3 Several studies among pregnant women from Nepal and India showed that illiteracy, urban residence, manual occupation, husband's smoking habit, being divorced, and Terai heritage were associated with increased risk of smokeless tobacco use. 4-7Background: Tobacco use among women during pregnancy leading to poor maternal and child health outcomes has been well documented. However, factors influencing use of smokeless tobacco in Nepal has not yet been well established. This study aims at exploring the factors related to smokeless tobacco use among pregnant women in rural southern Terai of Nepal. Methods:A community-based cross-sectional study was performed at 52 wards within 6 Village Development Committee in Dhanusha district of Nepal. A total of 426 expectant mothers in their second trimester were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. Descriptive and regression analyses were done to explore the factors that influence smokeless tobacco use. Results:In a total of 426 pregnant mothers, one in five used tobacco in any form. Among the users, 13.4% used smokeless tobacco. Pregnant mothers who were smoking tobacco (AOR 6.01; 95% CI (1.88-19.23), having alcohol consumption (AOR 3.86; 95% CI (1.23-12.08), stressed (AOR 5.04; 95% CI (1.81-14.03), non-vegetarian (AOR 3.31;(1.84-13.03), not attending regular mothers' group meetings (AOR 4.63; (1.41-15.19), and not-exposed to mass media (AOR 5.02; (1.89-13.33) were significantly associated with smokeless tobacco use. Similarly, mothers of age group 20-34 years, dalit, aadibasi and janajati, hill origin, no education and primary education were more likely to use smokeless tobacco than their counterparts.Conclusions: Factors such as smoking tobacco, alcohol consumption, stress, and poor education were found to be significantly associated with smokeless tobacco use among pregnant women in southern Terai of Nepal. This requires an immediate attention develop an effective strategy to prevent and control smokeless tobacco use among pregnant women in southern Terai of Nepal.

“…In the past two decades, the Pacific Island countries, along with other low middle income countries (LMICs), have seen a rapid increase in overall tobacco consumption [6]. The prevalence of smoking in the Pacific ranges from 5%-75% [1,7]. The prevalence of smoking is different based on ages and genders in Pacific.…”

Introduction: Smoking remains to be a main cause of preventable death and illness in both developing and developed countries. The high prevalence of smoking consumption contributes to significant healthrelated diseases. While the rate of smoking use is reducing in most countries, Pacific countries still have a high smoking prevalence. This systematic review study is aimed at understanding the prevalence of smoking and its health consequences among Pacific countries.
