Big Opportunity For Smoking Control Aids In China |
|
OTC.Newsflash |
June 3, 2011 |
|
CHINA: There are over 300mn smokers in China, according to the Tobacco Control Report released last week by the country’s Centre for Disease Control & Prevention. Most smokers are male and around 740mn people were exposed to second-hand smoke in 2010. Comment: With over 1mn tobacco-related deaths annually in China, it is no wonder that the SFDA has switched some smoking control products to OTC. Nicorette (Shanghai J&J) became the first nicotine-based OTC in June 2009 after patches (5mg, 10mg, 15mg) and gums (2mg, 4mg) were granted OTC status at the end of 2008. Sales have so far been slow but local reports state that they are picking up following the national ban on smoking in indoor public places, which was implemented on 1st May. Earlier this year switch applications from J&J and Novartis for nicotine patches in different doses were approved, suggesting further launches are on the way.

A prospective 12-month study of the effect of smoking cessation on periodontal clinical parameters |
|
Rosa et al. 2011 |
April 13, 2011 |
|
Aim: The aim of this 12-month prospective study was to assess the adjunctive effect of smoking cessation in non-surgical periodontal therapy of subjects with severe chronic periodontitis. Materials and methods: Of the 201 subjects enrolled from a smoking cessation clinic, 93 were eligible and received non-surgical periodontal treatment and concurrent smoking cessation treatment. Periodontal maintenance was performed every 3 months. Full-mouth periodontal examination in six sites per tooth was performed by a calibrated examiner, blinded to smoking status, at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Furthermore, expired air carbon monoxide concentration measurements and interviews based on a structured questionnaire were performed in order to collect demographic and smoking data. Results: Of the 93 eligible subjects, 52 remained in the study after 1 year. Of these, 17 quit smoking and 35 continued smoking or oscillated. After 1 year, only quitters presented significant clinical attachment gain (p=0.04). However, there were no differences between the groups regarding clinical attachment level, probing depth, bleeding on probing and plaque index after 1 year (p>0.05). Conclusion: Smoking cessation promoted clinical attachment gain in chronic periodontitis subjects from a smoking cessation clinic after 1 year of follow-up.
