Association of menthol-flavoured cigarette smoking with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk
Findings of a unique excess mortality risk associated with menthol cigarettes provide additional scientific evidence-apart from their known impacts on initiation and cessation-in support of menthol flavour regulation in the USA and similar policies in LMICs. Public communication efforts must reiterate that quitting all cigarette types is the only safe option to reduce disease risk
Community-based interventions for detection and management of diabetes and hypertension in underserved communities: A mixed-methods evaluation in Brazil, India, South Africa and the USA
INTRODUCTION: As non-communicable disease (NCD) burden rises worldwide, community-based programmes are a promising strategy to bridge gaps in NCD care. The HealthRise programme sought to improve hypertension and diabetes management for underserved communities in nine sites across Brazil, India, South Africa and the USA between 2016 and 2018.

Smoking Prevalence and Cigarette Consumption in 187 Countries, 1980-2012

DESIGN: Nationally representative sources that measured tobacco use (n = 2102 country-years of da…
