Abstract
Tobacco smoking: the evidence from prevention and cessation.
Highlights
Two factors seem most important to include in a tobacco control program: increasing citizens’ knowledge and awareness of tobacco-related problems and encouraging medical doctors to promote smoking cessation among their patients
Data coming from the Italian HBSC surveys (2002–2010), while indicating that the prevalence of regular tobacco use remained stable among 15-year-olds, showed that many adolescents are exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) smoke, have at least one parent who smokes, and have seen teachers and students smoking at school
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that smoking cessation training for medical students is very important for tackling tobacco smoking among general population
Summary
This special issue presents the latest evidence in the fields of both smoking prevention and cessation. R. Grazuleviciene et al addressed the important issues of maternal smoking during pregnancy and secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure. The findings of their work suggest the need to urgently promote smokefree home policies through tobacco control programs in the most populated country in the world.
