Assessing the association between smoking and hypertension: Smoking status, type of tobacco products, and interaction with alcohol consumption.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between tobacco use and hypertension risk has been extensively researched but remains controversial, and few existing studies have considered the role of tobacco type and dosage response in this association.
