摘要

The article on 'The public health impact of tobacco' by Prakash C. Gupta (Curr. Sci., 2001, 81, 475-482) made interesting reading. I would like to share information which I feel would supplement the developments covered by the author and which would be beneficial for all readers of Current Science. Tobacco smoking is known to cause early cataract. The link between smoking and cataract has been established by a series of epidemiological studies, first in Edinburgh, then Oxford, London and the United States. In India, research at Sankara Nethralaya in collaboration with Stanley Medical College, Chennai has shown chronic cigarette smoking to be one of the important causes for the early onset of cataract. The attributing factor is the accumulation of cadmium in the eye lens of smokers. There are also reports on the accumulation of cadmium in the blood and certain other tissues and even in the milk of mothers habituated to tobacco smoke.
