Description
Jitnarin et al [1] have confirmed varied perceptions about cancer and smokeless tobacco use in the fire service, warranting further investigation on the effects of smokeless tobacco on cancer risk and the importance of public perception of such risk to ensure firefighters' health. This study's conclusion suggests that firefighters may underestimate the potential harm of smokeless tobacco use,
increasing cancer risk and contributing to high mortality prevalence in firefighters, which informs future initiatives against cancer [1]. However, the accuracy of the qualitative research used in this
study could have been improved if the authors notice that the following pitfalls existed in their methodology.
