Summary: This study aimed to develop a prognostic scoring tool to predict loss to follow-up (LTFU) among TB patients who smoke, in order to improve successful TB treatment outcomes. Using longitudinal data from the Malaysian Tuberculosis Information System (MyTB) database, a simple prognostic score (T-BACCO SCORE) was constructed. The model exhibited fair discrimination and good calibration, making it a reliable tool to predict the risk of LTFU among TB patients who smoke.

Summary: This study reviewed tobacco control interventions in clinical settings in the U.S. and found that few studies have reported the costs associated with these interventions. Costs are a critical outcome that should be consistently measured in evaluations of tobacco control interventions to promote their uptake in clinical settings.

Summary: Tobacco kills over 8 million people annually, with 80% of users living in low- and middle-income countries. However, progress in tobacco control is inadequate in these countries, particularly in the implementation of cessation programs and interventions. Most evidence for tobacco-cessation interventions comes from high-income countries, which may not be applicable to the context of LMICs due to limited resources and training for tobacco cessation.

Summary: Evidence on smoking behaviors among breast cancer (BC) patients is lacking, and smoking-related issues are not systematically addressed during BC care pathway. Approximately one-third of patients do not have tobacco mention in their electronic health records, highlighting the need for improvement in assessing smoking behavior and utilizing BC treatment as an opportunity for smoking cessation promotion.

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: The study described maternal smoking trends in France from 1972 to 2016, finding relatively stable proportions of mothers quitting smoking but high proportions of smokers during pregnancy. Smoking in the 3rd trimester from 2010 to 2016 was associated with lower education level and income, but the association with age, country of birth, and parity varied.

Summary: A nationwide survey in France showed that, despite tobacco-control measures, immigrants from Africa and the Middle East had a slightly higher smoking prevalence compared to non-immigrants in 2017. This suggests that tobacco-control measures may have widened smoking inequalities related to migrant status.

Summary: This study assessed tobacco cessation behavior and its predictors among adult tobacco users in India during the COVID-19 lockdown. The results indicated that participants with good knowledge on the harmful effects of tobacco use and COVID-19 were more likely to quit tobacco use and make quit attempts, while participants with access to tobacco products were less likely to quit tobacco use.
