In human clinical trials it was found that the putative chemopreventive agent -carotene not only failed to protect active smokers against the carcinogenic action of tobacco smoke, but actually increased their risk of developing lung cancer. In preclinical animal studies, -carotene had been effective against some chemically induced cancers, but not against tumors in the respiratory tract. We exp...

Participants (n=186) shared their perspectives on and experiences with tobacco dependence and managing the use of tobacco, as wel...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nicotine and other xenobiotics contained in tobacco smoke on the pharmacokinetics of ethyl alcohol and on the levels of toxic ethanol metabolites such as acetic aldehyde.We also sought to evaluate the impact of a one-time administration of ethyl alcohol on the biotransformation of nicotine, the addictive alkaloid of tobacco smoke, to its main metabolit...
A case-control study of nasal cancer in pet dogs was conducted to test the hypothesis that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increases risk. Cases (n = 103) were selected from a teaching hospital during 1986-1990. Controls (n = 378) with other forms of cancer were selected from the same study base. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was evaluated by determining the number of smokers ...

The etiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unknown, although the risk of developing UC is apparently higher in non-smokers and ex-smokers. We have demonstrated in a colitis animal model that exposure to tobacco smoke could attenuate UC pathogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate and compare between the modes of action of nicotine and different fractions of tobacco smoke extract in...
The incidence of urban female breast cancer has been continuously increasing over the past decade with unknown etiology. One hypothesis for this increase is carcinogen exposure from tobacco. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the risk of urban female breast cancer from tobacco smoke exposure. The matched case control study was conducted among Thai females, aged 17-76 year...
