should
be
given
to
preventing
an
increase
in
smoking
prevalence among women
in LMICs. Although new nicotine
delivery
systems,
such
as
e-cigarettes,
may
have
the
potential
to
help
reduce
tobacco-related
harm
by
helping
smokers
to quit, measures need
to be
in place
to make
sure
that
these
systems
do
not
lead
to
the maintenance
of,
or
a
new
surge
in,
tobacco
use.
Support
and
advice
about
quitting
smoking
should
be
a
part of all health care practices,
including urologic practices,
because
not
only
does
smoking
cause
diseases
but
it
also
can worsen
the
prognoses
of
other
diseases
by
increasing
comorbidities,
including
respiratory
and
cardiovascular
problems.
