Abstract
This report is a compilation of
references and abstracts of all research on tobacco in India
from 1985 to 2003. Studies are organized by subject matter,
and within each sub-topic, are arranged by year of
publication with most recent studies listed first, and for
studies published in the same year, alphabetically by
author's last name. The studies include tobacco use
surveys, studies on tobacco-related mortality,
tobacco-related diseases both cancerous and non-cancerous,
according to body system and site, and other health problems
associated with tobacco use and environmental tobacco smoke.
Other topics include the toxicity of tobacco products,
educational interventions and the psychology of tobacco use,
tobacco control measures and policies, reports on tobacco
advertising and sponsorship and research into the tobacco
health hazards faced by tobacco workers. It also includes
studies on tobacco employment, tobacco growing and
technology, and the economics of tobacco. The following
databases were searched: Pub Med, Medline, and J-Gate (a new
Indian database). The keywords used for the searches were
'(Tobacco OR smoking) AND India', as well as names
of diseases known from international research findings to be
associated with tobacco, 'AND India'. In some
cases, reports were excluded if they were duplicative, or
the methodology or findings were unclear.
