The Various Modes of Smoking that Include Tobacco
Introduction
In this module, there paper presents six academic peer reviewed paper on smoking at its related health and behavioural effects. Additionally, the references relate to value-expectancy theories, perceived threat and fear appeal theories, and stage model theories in health promotion. There are various modes if smoking that include tobacco, hookah, and tobacco which affect both male and female of all ages. At the highest risk are pregnant women, the aged, and the young – who misuse the hookah for luxury and fun. The literature provides different peer-reviewed sources an all the topics.

Effect of tobacco smoking on the risk of developing community-acquired pneumonia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PloS one, 14(7), e0220204. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0220204.
Baskaran et al. (2019) aim to establish if tobacco exposure predisposes to contacting Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) in adults. The author conducts a systematic review to quantify the association between exposure to tobacco and the development of Community-Acquired Pneumonia and whether the amount of tobacco one is exposed to influences susceptibility to Community-Acquired Pneumonia. They search various medical databases, including Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, PsychINFO, and MEDLINE, to distinguish case-control and associate examinations and report following the Systematic Reviews and Allowed Reporting Items and Analysis (PRISMA) agenda. The survey convention was enlisted with the PROSPERO data set. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale surveyed concentrates on quality. Pooled chances proportions or danger proportions were assessed utilizing an irregular impacts model. The study establishes a relationship between acquiring Community-Acquired Pneumonia in ex-smokers and current smokers and a substantial dose-relationship for only current smokers. Additionally, the risk of developing Community-Acquired Pneumonia is higher in passive adult smokers aged 65 years and above. The study was careful only to involve participants who have strictly Community-Acquired Pneumonia and no other forms of pneumonia such as aspiration pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and active pulmonary TB. A significant limitation of the study was the inability of the study to distinguish between current smokers and ex-smokers. However, the study is efficient in providing a solid background for recommending smoking cessation and educating on the importance of passive smoking practice by non-smokers.
