Mentholated cigarette smoking inhibits nicotine metabolism.
Smoking mentholated cigarettes has been suggested to convey a greater cancer risk compared with smoking nonmentholated cigarettes. Two of the possible mechanisms by which mentholated cigarette smoking could increase risk are by increasing systemic exposure to tobacco smoke toxins and by affecting the metabolism of nicotine or tobacco smoke carcinogens. To examine these possibilities, we perform...
متن کاملUrine menthol as a biomarker of mentholated cigarette smoking.
OBJECTIVES Menthol cigarettes are smoked by 27% of U.S. smokers, and there are concerns that menthol might enhance toxicity of cigarette smoking by increasing systemic absorption of smoke toxins. We measured urine menthol concentrations in relation to biomarkers of exposure to nicotine and tobacco carcinogens. METHODS Concentrations of menthol glucuronide (using a novel analytical method), ni...
متن کاملOn finding curb sets in extensive games
We characterize strategy sets that are closed under rational behavior (curb) in extensive games of perfect information and finite horizon. It is shown that any such game possesses only one minimal curb set, which necessarily includes all its subgame perfect Nash equilibria. Applications of this result are twofold. First, it lessens computational burden while computing minimal curb sets. Second,...
متن کاملMosquito Gut Bacterium May Curb Malaria
Before Plasmodium falciparum, the most important human malaria parasite, can infect people, it must first infect its mosquito host. But that’s not always so easy to do, according to a team of researchers from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Malaria Institute at Macha in Zambia. The team reports that a bacterium naturally found in mosquitoes produces a shor...

Tobacco settlement dollars are increasingly being used by states to shore up eroding budgets instead of for the purposes they were intended—to offset tobacco-related health care costs and institute tobacco control programs. Congress's investigative body, the General Accounting Office (GAO), reported in March that the 46 states party to the 1998 $206 billion Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) spe...
