A new COVID variant always attracts attention, especially after years of public fatigue and repeated waves of concern. This time, the variant drawing notice is BA.3.2, nicknamed “Cicada.” It is a COVID-19 variant that health agencies are monitoring closely. That phrasing needs care.

Tobacco exposure had a clear, well-documented link to cancers of the mouth, throat, and lungs. However, something has quietly shifted over the past two decades.
