Using exposomics to assess global disparities in smoking hazards

Congratulations to our colleagues at PHRI and to Biban for your recent publication using exposomics for more reliable assessment of global disparities in smoking hazards. Separate studies suggest that the risks from smoking might vary between high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, but this has not yet been systematically examined within a single study using standardised approaches. We examined the variations in risks from smoking across different country income groups and some of their potential reasons.
