Summary: This review provides a concise overview of the impact of smoking cessation on periodontal tissues and therapy. The results demonstrate the benefits of tobacco cessation in reducing the risk of periodontitis and tooth loss, and suggest that the harmful effects of smoking on periodontal tissues can be alleviated with increasing years of quitting.

Summary: The paper aims to provide evidence on the associations between smoking and urologic cancers including prostate, bladder, renal, and upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC). Smoking is associated with higher tumor grade, stage, poorer outcomes, and increased risk of recurrence in these cancers. Smoking cessation may have a protective effect.

Summary: Smoking cessation medications are a crucial part of tobacco control programs globally, but their impact on population smoking prevalence remains controversial. Estimating the potential impact of SCMs on permanent cessation and population smoking prevalence reveals limited effectiveness in increasing cessation rates and reducing smoking prevalence in populations, particularly under current conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to describe cytokine profiles in periodontal healing after periodontal therapy in smokers. The results suggest that different smoking trajectories have distinct effects on cytokine expression, which in turn influence periodontal repair.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of different levels of smoking on periodontal healing and found that heavy smokers had worse periodontal parameters compared to light smokers/quitters and moderate smokers after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Therefore, smoking cessation should be included in periodontal therapy to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Summary: The C3I program found that implementing comprehensive tobacco treatment programs and improving the staff-to-patient ratio can increase the reach of cessation treatment. Strengthening the tobacco treatment team and providing more resources can improve the effectiveness of smoking cessation.

Summary: This systematic review examines the study protocols and outcomes of using CoQ10 as an adjunct in non-surgical periodontitis therapy. Twelve randomized controlled trials with local administration and five with systemic administration of CoQ10 were included. The study protocols were heterogeneous, and the reporting quality was low. There is currently insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of CoQ10 in non-surgical periodontitis therapy, and further high-quality trials are needed.

Summary: Smoking is a common risk factor for bladder cancer and postoperative complications after radical cystectomy. This study found that the impact of smoking on the probability of major complications increases with age among patients who undergo RC. Older smokers are at a higher risk of complications compared to younger smokers and nonsmokers.

Summary: The multidisciplinary smoking cessation clinics in Thailand have been proven effective in helping smokers quit smoking. The clinics had a higher success rate for smokers with cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study suggests that including multidisciplinary smoking cessation clinics in the universal health care benefits package would be beneficial.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic scoping review to determine the number and nature of offspring outcomes studied following nicotine exposure to pregnant non-human mammals. The results showed that the most frequently studied outcomes were changes in the brain, physical parameters, and the respiratory system. Systematic reviews focusing on these areas may contribute to a better understanding of the impacts of gestational nicotine exposure on offspring.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the benefits of smoking cessation combined with a single inhaler triple therapy in patients with COPD. The study found that 51% of patients successfully quit smoking within a month, and these patients showed better outcomes after six months compared to those who continued smoking, including improvements in lung function and physical activity.

Summary: This study found that in the United States, non-Hispanic Blacks who smoked menthol cigarettes had a lower cessation rate compared to those who smoked non-menthol cigarettes. There was no significant difference in cessation rates among non-Hispanic Whites or Hispanics. Non-Hispanic Whites who smoked menthol were more likely to become dual users. Young adults initiated menthol smoking at a higher rate than older adults.

Summary: This study found that lung cancer screening could serve as a teachable moment for smoking cessation, with individuals who were extremely worried about lung cancer being more motivated to quit smoking and more ready to quit within the next 30 days.
