The effects of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours on risky riding behaviours – A study on app-based motorcycle taxi riders in Vietnam
2020, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :Importantly, these findings also offer opportunities for intervention since programs targeting overall smoking reduction could have a pathway to improve road safety. Smoking while driving a vehicle has been associated with traffic crashes because of the reduction of driving performance and night vision (Koushki and Bustan, 2006; Sacks and Nelson, 1994).

Stimulant drugs are associated with violent and penetrating trauma
2019, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The link between cigarette smoking and injury may be due to distractibility, smoking-related diseases such as cataracts impairing vision, use of co-ingestants such as alcohol and drugs, and personality or behavioral characteristics [37]. Some studies, which are consistent with our observations, show that smokers tend to act out hostility and engage in risk taking activities more than their nonsmoker counterparts [37]. Our study was designed to determine what drugs are truly present in trauma patients and if there is any association to mechanism of injury and injury type.
