“…it is clear that smoking is the main contributor to increased risk and spread of respiratory disorders [4] and smoking-related cardiovascular disorders that are the leading causes of death worldwide [5]. Additionally, cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer, considered among the leading causes of death in men and women worldwide [6], with about 1.8 million deaths attributed to it in 2018 [7].…”

Introduction. To evaluate the effect of telling undergraduate smokers their lung ages on the rate of smoking cessation. Methods. This randomized controlled study involved 142 eligible volunteer current undergraduate smokers. They were randomly allocated to the study group (group 1; n = 72) and the control group (group 2; n = 70). Participants in group 1 were told their lung age, received a 5-minute motivational interview, and were given raw figures of their pulmonary function, while participants in group 2 received the same intervention except the lung age. initially (evaluation 1), the subjects' lung ages were estimated through spirometric assessment of forced expiratory volume in 1 second. The number of smoked cigarettes per day was reported and the smoking status was ensured through the assessment of exhaled carbon monoxide at evaluation 1, after 6 months (evaluation 2), and after 12 months (evaluation 3). Results. At evaluation 2, the overall follow-up rate was 95.07%. There was a significant difference in the smoking quit rate between group 1 (23.61%) and group 2 (10%) (p = 0.03). At evaluation 3, no change existed in the follow-up rate. The smoking quit rate was 19.4% and 4.3% for groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.01). Conclusions. Telling undergraduate smokers their lung ages can significantly improve the smoking quit rate in a short-and long-term perspective. The long-term partial relapse status arouses the question about other contributing factors out of the scope of this study.

Introduction. Tobacco smoking is a major avoidable cause of morbidity. Smoking is one of the important factors which can alter normal lipid profile and it is among the major risk factors in the genesis of coronary atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of high-intensity interval training on blood lipids and serum cotinine in Egyptian male smokers. Methods. overall, 30 sedentary male smokers with dyslipidaemia, with mean age of 30.16 ± 3.22 years, were enrolled in a highintensity interval training program calculated as 85-95% of their individualized maximum heart rate. The training program was applied for 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Serum cotinine, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results. After the training program, a significant improvement (decrease) was observed in cotinine, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol (by 39.94%, 7.13%, 5.09%, and 4.72%, respectively). Also, there was a significant improvement (increase) in high-density lipoprotein (by 17.07%). Conclusions. it is recommended for smokers to participate in high-intensity interval training to improve their lipid profile and decrease cotinine. These factors can play a role in reducing the risk for atherosclerosis.
