Improving tobacco social contagion models using agent-based simulations on networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Over the years, population-level tobacco control policies have considerably reduced smoking prevalence worldwide. However, the rate of decline of smoking prevalence is slowing down. Therefore, there is a need for models that capture the full complexity of the smoking epidemic.

High-resolution metabolomics of exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes in the Atlanta African American maternal-child cohort.

Environmental Pollution, 2021
Exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy has been associated with a series of adverse reproductive outcomes; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-established. We conducted an untargeted metabolome-wide association study to identify

Spatial analysis of tobacco outlet density on secondhand smoke exposure and asthma health among children in Baltimore City

Tobacco Control, 2022
Rationale Tobacco outlets are concentrated in low-income neighbourhoods; higher tobacco outlet density is associated with increased smoking prevalence. Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure has significant detrimental effects on childhood asthma.

Maternal education and offspring birthweight for gestational age: the mediating effect of smoking during pregnancy [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Background Small for gestational age (SGA) birthweight, a risk factor of infant mortality and delayed child development, is associated with maternal educational attainment. Maternal tobacco smoking during pregnancy could contribute to this association. We aimed to quantify the contribution of maternal smoking during pregnancy to social inequalities in ...

Comparison of 3R4F cigarette smoke and IQOS heated tobacco product aerosol emissions

Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021
In this study, the smoke from a 3R4F research cigarette and the aerosol generated by the Heated Tobacco Product IQOS, also referred to as the Tobacco Heating System (THS) 2.2 in the literature, were compared. The objective was to characterize the gas and

Effects of ambient air pollution and environmental tobacco smoke on respiratory health of non-smoking women in Hong Kong [PDF]

International Journal of Epidemiology, 1999
Two-thirds of complaints received by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department in 1988 were related to poor air quality. In July 1990 legislation was implemented to reduce fuel sulphur levels. The intervention led to a reduction in respiratory symptoms and bronchial hyperresponsiveness of primary school children.

A Bayesian approach to the g-formula [PDF]

Stat Methods Med Res. 2017 Jan 1:962280217694665, 2015
Epidemiologists often wish to estimate quantities that are easy to communicate and correspond to the results of realistic public health scenarios. Methods from causal inference can answer these questions. We adopt the language of potential outcomes under Rubin's original Bayesian framework and show that the parametric g-formula is easily amenable to a ...

Perceptions about the harm of secondhand smoke exposure among U.S. middle and high school students: findings from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey

Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2013
Background Increased knowledge of the harmful effects of SHS is an evidence-based key indicator for eliminating nonsmokers’ exposure to SHS. This study assessed the prevalence and predictors of perceptions about the harm of secondhand smoke (SHS ...
