Download or read book Smokeless Tobacco and Some Tobacco specific N nitrosamines written by IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2007 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eighty-ninth volume of the IARC Monographs is the third and last of a series on tobacco-related agents. Volume 83 reported on the carcinogenicity of tobacco smoke and involuntary smoking (second-hand smoke or environmental tobacco smoke) (IARC 2004a). Volume 85 summarized the evidence on the carcinogenic risk of chewing betel quid with and without tobacco (IARC 2004b). That volume explored the variety of products chewed in South Asia and other parts of the word that contain areca nut in combination with other ingredients, often including tobacco. In this eighty-ninth volume, the carcinogenic risks associated with the use of smokeless tobacco, including chewing tobacco and snuff, are considered in a first monograph. The second monograph reviews some tobacco-specific nitrosamines. These agents were evaluated earlier in Volume 37 of the Monographs (IARC 1985) and information gathered since that time has been summarized and evaluated.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this volume, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) presents the 17th monograph of the Tobacco Control Monograph series. This monograph documents the evaluation of a groundbreaking NCI program. The American Stop Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer Prevention, known as ASSIST, put into practice NCI's commitment to prevent and reduce tobacco use across all populations and age groups. ASSIST took evidenced-based interventions from controlled studies and implemented them in the larger community of 17 states. Its underlying rationale—that significant decreases in tobacco use could be realized only with interventions that changed the social environment such that smoking was non-normative—was a significant departure from previous tobacco control programs and in the vanguard of the “new” public health. Prior to ASSIST, few states addressed tobacco use at the population level. The ASSIST legacy remains today in the tobacco control professionals whose work continues to reduce the burden of disability and death caused by tobacco. ASSIST raised significant conceptual and practical challenges for its evaluation team. These challenges included context-dependent implementation and the diffusion of ASSIST and ASSIST-like interventions into non-ASSIST states. In addition, the evaluation did not begin until several years after ASSIST was implemented, and its budget was limited. What had been envisioned as a simple evaluation of a demonstration project became a complex evaluation effort that engaged a diverse group of scientists and practitioners and required numerous sources of data. The resulting evaluation successfully documented the effectiveness of ASSIST. It also validated the causal pathway described in NCI's 1991 Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph 1: Strategies to Control Tobacco Use in the United States: A Blueprint for Public Health Action in the 1990's—that comprehensive interventions can change the social environment of tobacco use and subsequently result in decreased tobacco use. This monograph stands alone as a documentation of the ASSIST evaluation and describes the challenges met in evaluating a program that was influenced by numerous forces outside the program's control. However, this monograph may also be viewed as a companion to NCI Tobacco Control Monograph 16, which reviews the ASSIST program in detail. Together these two monographs provide a detailed history and evidence base that document the success of an NCI initiative that began with a series of research hypotheses, tested those hypotheses with community-based interventions, and ultimately fielded a demonstration program that fundamentally changed tobacco use prevention and control in the United States. This volume and several future volumes in the Tobacco Control Monograph Series have important implications for research, practice, and policy in tobacco control as well as in other areas of public health. Lessons learned from tobacco prevention and control can be applied to a variety of public health issues, including physical activity, diet and nutrition, overweight and obesity, and substance abuse. NCI is committed to disseminating this cross-cutting knowledge to the widest possible audience so that others can benefit from the experience of the tobacco prevention and control community. By so doing, NCI is increasing the evidence base for effective public health interventions and improving the translation of research to practice and policy.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the IARC Monographs provides an assessment of the carcinogenicity of 18 chemicals present in industrial and consumer products or food (natural constituents, contaminants, or flavorings) or occurring as water-chlorination by-products. The compounds evaluated include the widely used plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and the food contaminant 4-methylimidazole. In view of the limited agent-specific information available from epidemiological studies, the IARC Monographs Working Group relied mainly on carcinogenicity bioassays, and mechanistic and other relevant data to evaluate the carcinogenic hazards to humans exposed to these agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer Prevention (ASSIST) was a major shift in the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) tobacco prevention and control research and dissemination efforts, this monograph is a significant departure from NCI's previous tobacco control monographs. For many, the ASSIST project represented a logical progression of NCI's phased-research approach to reducing tobacco use. For others, it represented a controversial and overly ambitious leap in a new direction. Similarly, this monograph departs from the traditional quantitative evidence review format to emphasize instead the practical, hands-on experience of program implementation. Traditional research investigators who defend the sanctity of the randomized clinical trial, many of whom were uncomfortable with ASSIST at its outset, will also be uncomfortable with the personal and anecdotal flavor of this monograph. Public health practitioners, on the other hand, as well as those investigators who have immersed themselves in the untidy world of implementation research, will appreciate the detailed historical accounts of the complexities, politics, and outright opposition encountered by the ASSIST team. The collective experiences described in this monograph provide a rich understanding of the gritty struggle against the powerful forces of the tobacco industry and its allies. For students in public health training programs, this work also provides a unique view of the world outside of academia, where commercial, political, and public health interests collide in a struggle to define the policies, norms, and practices that will affect the health of generations. Monograph 16 begins with the historical context of ASSIST and the scientific base that informed the design of the project. The conceptual framework and the development of organizational infrastructures for implementation and evaluation are then described. The heart of this monograph is the in-depth descriptions of ASSIST's media advocacy and policy development interventions and the challenges posed by the tobacco industry. The monograph concludes by describing ASSIST's contributions to tobacco control and other behavioral health interventions and the significant challenges that remain.
