Why is it important?

There is uncertainty about the benefits of dietary supplements, including vitamins and minerals, for LC prevention among smokers and non-smokers due to the inconsistency and contradictory results from RCTs. There is also emerging concerns about the short and long-term safety of dietary supplements used by LC patients, particularly in smokers. Therefore, there is a need to explore the effects of dietary antioxidants on LC risk in smokers and non-smokers.

Perspectives

Studies are needed to investigate the protective effects of antioxidant vitamins and minerals intake on LC smokers and non-smokers. Future directions for exploring possible mechanisms underlying such effects are warranted.
