Iran Road Traffic Crashes and ““Waterpipe”” Antismoking Literature

3 Dec 2010: The amazing publication history of this article will be outlined later on.

Conclusion of Drs Soheil SAADAT and Mojgan KARBAKHSH’ antismoking study: “Being waterpipe and/or cigarette smoker and DDT were the independent predictors of the number of traffic crashes in Poisson regression model. If the increased risk of RTC among waterpipe or cigarette smokers is seen in other studies, it would be beneficial to promote tobacco cessation and control strategies through injury prevention initiatives”.
