$UP~RY OF TItE REPORT
This report is a review o£ the pertinent ~edlcal literature on the
health consequences of smoking which has appeared since the publlcation
of rbe 1968 Supplement to the i967 ~ubllc Health Service Review. The
1964 Report of the Advisory Comlttee on Smoking and Health, the 1967
Pchllc Health Service Review and rbe i968 Supplement bare presen=ed the
broad base of converging epldemielogical, physlologlcal, pathological and
clinlcal evidence on which knowledge of¸ the health hazards of smokln8 is
ba6ed, included in this evidence are da~a whlch sho~ che magnitude of che
excess ~ortallty ~d morbldlty ~ong smokerso
The followlng co~clusloas ~ega~dlng the heal~ Consequences of smokln8
were s~arlzed in ~he 1968 Supplement.
Genecal Mortality Informatlon
Pr~vlous findings reported in 1967 Indicate that cigarette
smoking is associated with an increase in overall mortality and
morbidity and leads to a substantial excess o£ dsaths i~ those
peopl~ who smok~, In ~dditle~ ~vide~ herein prese~d sh~s
~ha~ llfe ~xpe~amcy ~ong you~8 ~en is reduced by an average of

~=~

Because of ~be increasing convergence of epidem/ological and
physiological findings relating cigarette smoking to coronary
heart disease~ it is concluded ~hat cigarette smoking can con-
tribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and partic-
ularly to death from coronary he~r~ disease.
Smoking and Chronic Obstructive Brenchopulmonary Diseases
Additional physiological and epidemlologlcal evidence confirms
the previous findings that cigarette smoking is the most important
cause of chronic non-neoplastic hronchopulmonary disease in the
United grates.
Cigarette smoking can adversely affec= pulmonary function and
disturb cardiop~imonary physiology. It is suggested =ha~ this
nan lead =o cardiopulmonary disease, notably pulmonary hyper-
tension and cot pulmonale in those individuals who have severe
chronic obstructive bronchi=is.
Smoking and Cancer
Additional evidence substantiates the previous findings that
cigarette smoking is the main cause of lung cancer in men. Ciga-
rette smoking is causally related to l'~g cancer in women but
accounts for a smaller proportion of cases than in wen. Smoking
is a significant factor in the causation of c~cer of the larynx
and in the development of cancer of the oral cavity. Further
epidemiological data strengthen the association of cigarette
smoking with cancer of the bladder and cancer of the pancreas,
The rues6 r=cent Public Realth Service review of the effects of
smoking on pregnancy was presented in the 1967 Report. The conclusions of
~hat review were as follows:
Clearly, more research is needed to elucidate the siEaificance
of the relationship of smoking in pregnancy and low birth weight.
Addi=ional long-range morbidlty studies are needed, as well as
s~udies on the effect of smoking on uterine activity and
placental blood flow.
Smoking does have an effect on the outcom~ of pregnancy. Eow-
ever, it is no= k~0wn whether this effect is deleterious or no=.

C
Until such evidence is presented so as to clearly define the
role of smoking in pregnancy, it is more prudent at this time to
advise pregnant women to stop or decrease thelr edgarette-
smoking practices.
No substantial negative evidence has appeared which refutes these
Judgments. On the contrary, studies made available since ~he publication
of the 1968 Supplement and reviewed by panels of experts in the relevant
medical areas confirm previous findings and add new evidence that smoking
is a health hazard. Highlights of the 1969 Supplement are as follows:
I. ~ and Cardiovascular Diseases:
Further data from prospective studies eonflrm the Judgment that ciga-
rette smoking is a significant risk factor that contributes to the develop-
~an~ of coronary heart dlsease~ apparently by promoting myocardial infarct
and cardiac arrhythm±as. Analyses by several investi~tors of othe~
8~soclated factors (high ser~ cholesterol, high blood pressure and body
weight) show clearly that the effect of cigarette smoking persists and is
appreciables even when these other factors are carefully evaluated. Autopsy
studies suggest that cigarette smoking is associated with a significant
increase in atherosclerosis of the aorta and the coronary ar~erles.
Experimental studies dn animals have provided new information on the
pathological effects of cigarette s~king on the arteries. This further
supports the view that cigarette smoking promotes aKherosclerosIs.
GO

il, s~kinjl and Chronic Obstructive Broncho ulmona Diseases;
Recent studies have demonstrated that cigarette smokers m~y have
significant disease of the small airways in the absence of bronchopulmonary
symptoms. This disease is demonstrated by the finding of abnormalities
in the ventilatlon/perfuslon relationships in the lungs of cigarette
smokers. Animal experiments have demonstrated the pathological effects
caused in the lung by exposure to clgare=te smoke or to specified concen-
trations of products found in cigarette s~ke. Conditlons similar to
pulmonary e=.physema in man have been produced in some of these experiments.
Other studies have inves=igated the pa=ho~ogical effects of smoking on
pulmonary clearance mechanisms and demonstrated that pulmonary clearance
may be signlfican=ly impaired by =he effec=s of cigarette smoking.
Kpidemfological a~d laboratory evidence supports the view ~ha~ cigarette
smoking can contribute to the development of pul~onary emphysem~ in =~n.
l£I. S~kln~ and Cancer:
A major pathological study of histological changes i= the larynx
has de~nstrated a dose-relationship between smoking ~id pre~llgnant
changes in the larynx. New animal models for ~he experimental study of
respiratory cancer, which may be helpful in e~ucidating the mschanlsms of
respiratory ~r~cc carelnogenesis, have been developed and refined. More
studies have been done =o £den=ify those subs=antes in tobacco smoke which
~O

cake part in carcinogenesis. ~lese studi~s may help t.o define the exact
biomechanisms involved in the cause and effect relationship between ciga-
rette smoking a~d lung cancer.
IV. Effects of S~k~/~ on P~:
New data are presented which ~onfirm the finding that maternal
smoking during pregnancy is associated wiKh low birth weight in infants
~nd also indinate that mnterz%al smoking is associated with an increased
incldeRce of prematuri=y defined by welghK alone, l~ addition, it appears
that m~ter~ai slnohing during pregnancy may b~ associated with ~u~ increased
incidence of spontaneous ahor=ion, sKillblrth and neonatal death and that
this relationship may be most marked in =he presence of other risk factors.
V. $mokin~ and Noncancerous Oral Dlsease~
The chapter on noncancerous oral disease is the first Publla Health
Service review of this sub~eet. The data available lead ~o the conclusion
that ulceromembranous gingivitis, alveolar bone loss a~d sto~a~dtds ~ico~ina
are ~re eo~mnly found among s~kers ~han a~ng no~smokers° ~%e i~fluenee
of smoklng on periodon=al disease and gingivitis probably operates in con-
j~uc=ion wlth poor oral hygiene. In addi=ion, there is evidence =hat
smoking may be associated wlth ede~tulism and delayed soeke~ healing.
Tobecco smoke contains a large number and ~ wide variety of compounds
which may ~esul~ in co~i~x and multiple pa~ho-physlologlcai effects o~ the
varioms tissues and orga~ sys=ems. While further research is needed ~o
-J

Investlgate the e~ac~ biomeehanlsms involved in the paKhological ~ffec~s of
s~klng, the ev£~en~e clearly shows that clgaret~e smoking constituteo a
major health hazard in ~he Oni~ed States.

SMOKING AND CARDIOVASCULAR DIS~%SE3
SU~RY
Cozonaz~] heart disease (C~D) among men in the Western world is an
epidemic whi~ Guts short the lives of many in their prime productive
years. The evidence linking smoking and CHD has been re?orted not ouly
from s£udies in the U~ited gtates~ but also from ~uch diverse a~as as west
Germa=y, the U.S.S.g., Fr~ace, Israel, Italy and the British ~sles.
The 1968 Supplement (27) stated:
Because of the increaslng convergence of epldemlologlcal and
physiolo~laal findings relating cigarette smoking to coronary
heart disease, i£ is concluded that eigarett~ smokln~ ca~ con-
tribute to ~he development of cardlovascul~r disease ~d
particularly to death f~'o-a eor~nu~I heart disease.
The convergence of autopsy da~a and experimental data presented in ~hls and
previous reports suggests tha~ cdgaret~e smoklng promotes atheroselerosls~
including thac of the coronary arteries. The results of phys~ologlcal
research and the finding of diminished rlsk of CHD in those who have s~opped
smoking indicate ~ha~ there is also a T~re imedla~e ~chanism operative°
The mechanisms which mi~h~ be responsible for the promotion of myocardial
infarction and fatal cardiac arrhy~hmias by cigarette smokin~ were ex-
tensively reviewed in the 1968 Supplement (27)° gzlefly stated, nutrient
supply ~o the myocardi~ in ~e~eral and, perhaps more impor~m~ly, to focal
ischemic areas of ~he myocardim~ may be seriously compromised by a comblna-
~ion of effects caused by smoking, and the deprived myocardlum may become
infarcted or develop an arrhy~hmia. These effects include diminution of
~j
G~

blood flow through atheroscleroti= coronary vessels and dimiBution of
available oxygen for tissue use resul£1ng from the binding of carbon monoxide
to hemoglobin in the place of oxygen and possibly, although presently
speculative, the poisoning of respiratory enzymes by hydrogen cyanide.
Cigarette smoking has been shown to be an important risk factor in
the development of ClID. It is important bo~h by itself amd in the pres-
ence of other significant risk fa~tors. In combination with certain
other risk factors~ the Joint effects appear to be even greater ~ha=
those accounted for by these risk factors independently.
EPIDEMIOLOGIC~L STUDIES
Hammond, et al. (ll) have presented new data on mortality from C~D,
stroke ~d nonsyphilltie aortle aneurysm among more ~han 800,000 ~n and
women who were between the ages of 40 aad 79 in 19S9. The authors were
attempting to evaluate the significance of mul~iple factors (s~x, age.
diabetes, higil blood pressure, body weight, change in weight, exercise1
cigarette smokisg, sleep a~d nervous tension) in the variations in death
rates from Khese three diseases. It should he noted ~hat this informa-
tion consls~ed of self-reports obtalned by ques~ior~naire and were not
obKained from medical exami~atlon. Causes of death were based on death
e~rKificate reports.
As illustraKed in table i, coronary hear= disease death rates ~d

~atlos were hlgILer in the yo~g~ age group61 the differences in death
rates b~tween nonsmokers and heavy smokers became progressively higher with
Inc~easing ag~° Although C~D rates we~ higher for thos~ who were I0 pea-
cent or more above the average weight for their height-age-sex g~oup~ and
for those who reported gavlng hlgh blood pressure, the trend is clear that
the effect of smoklng persists and Is appreciable, even when these other
~actors are held constant (table 2).
~a~ondj et al. also s~udled CHD mortality ~mong men who were ex-
Bmokers of c±garett~. The de~th rates f~om CHD wer~ lower a~ong the e~-
smokers than among those still smoking at ~he beglnu£ng of the study, the
size of the dlfferenc~ being larger the longer they had been off smoking
(table 3). Some people s~op smoking because of illness or symptoms and
~hese people would be expected ~o have high¢~ ~-ath ~a~es t~an those who
stop for o~r reasons. E~rly deaths among ~hos~ with pre-existing

smoked many cigarettes a day or slept nine or more hours per night had
high death rates. Those wi~h a combination of th~se factors have espe-
cially high death rates from the three disease6."
"Death rates from C~D and stroke were l~er in ex-cigere~ smokers
than in men wi~o were currently smoking cigarettes at the ~ime ~hey ~n-

"~eath ra~es fro~ the three diseases were ~ni~l ~ng 8uhJmcts
without a history of diabetes or high blood pressure who were not obese,
took at least moderate exercise, never smoked regularly and slept 6 to 8
hours per night. Nevertheless, these sub~cUS had substantial death rates
from CHD, stroke and non-syphilitic aortic aneurysm."
Stamler (24) has ~nalyzed lO-year mortality data on a total cohort of
men~ aged 40-59 in 195g, who were employees of the Chicago Peoples Gas
Light end Coke Company. Of 1,465 men examlned, 1,325 were found initially
to be free of definite ~[D and have been followed without systematic
intervention, lii~ler overall death rates were found among the smokers in
the study. Table 5 shows the death rates from CHD and from all causes for
men with various risk factors.
Recent papers by Theme, et el. (25) and by Paffenbarger, et el. (19)
report further results of studies of CHD amour former college students.
College health records and o~her college records were reviewed to as-
cerCaln the presence or absence of factors ~der consideration, gases
were identified from death certlffcates in the study of fa=el CdD (19)
and from ques~ionnalres and physical examinations in ~he s~udy of non-
fatal C~D (25). Matched controls were obtalned for each case. lal both

in a study of participants in the Health Insurance Plan of New York~
Weinblatt, et al. (29) reported that cigarette smoking males who developed
angina pectaris ware ~re llkely to develop Infarction than were D~n-
s~oklng anginal patients, but there wez~ no~ enough ¢as~s ~o draw deflnite
co~cluslo~s.
Welnhla~t~ et el. ~(30) also reported that the prognosis after the de-
velopment of a ~jocardial infarctlon appears to he independent of smoking
6ta~us prior to the infarct. In the absence of data indicating which
patlents stop smoking and how ~topplmg smoking is related to the s~verity
of myocardial dam~ge~ ome c~u%no~ evaluate the effect of smoking o~ progno-
sis. If th~ p~rsons who stop smoking tend to Includ~ ~he ~st debilitated~
the ~ffe~t of ~ontlnued smoking on prognosis would be %mderesti~ted.
In a prospective study of over 3,000 men, Jenkins, et el. (14) re-
ported tha~ ~he incidence of CIID in m~n aged 39-49 was 3 ~im~s hlgher
emong the cigarette smokers than among the nonsmokers (table 7}. The
incidence o£ CI~ increased with increased daily clgarette consumption.
For men aged ~0-59, the relationship between clgaretth smoking and CHD

no data are given on ien&~h of time since stopping smoklng, or r~esons for
stopping. Pipe and cigar smokers did not have higher CHD incidence rates.
After controlling for ether risk factors such as lipid levels, diastolic
blood pressure and body build, the authors found that the association be-
tween cigarette smoking and CHD remained (tables 9~iO). The relationship
between smoking and CHD was stronger among those men who e~hiblted behavior
type A ~han ~hose exhibiting b~lavior type B (Cables II,12). Behavior type
A is characterized by e~hanced competitiveness, drive~ aggresslve~ess~ hos-
tility aa%d all exeesslve sense of tim= urgency. Behavior type B indicates
absence of these charaeterlstles. Analysis of the data On behavlor ~d
c£garetce smoking showed that both factors have effects on the £~D ra~e.
Again, these assoela~ions were s~ronger in ~he younger age group.
Epidemlological studies linking smoking and CHD have been carried o~t
in various countries. In a Eetrospective study in D~blln, of 400 patients
u~der the age of 65 who experienced myocardial infarction, Mulcahy, et el.
(ig) ¢*bserved a defi~te assoclaKion between smohinB ~d the development
of the disease.
A prospective epidem±ologlcal study of risk factors of (~D, i~ a~
Israeli population, indicates tha~ smoking is associated wl~h a higher
risk of CIID (17).

ATHEROSCLEROSIS
A revlaw of autopsy studies by Strong and Auerbach, suggesting thac
cigarette smoking has a chronic effect leading to advanced degrees of
atherogenesis~ was presented in ~he Health Consequences of $~oklng~ 1967
(26). Further studies have recently been published in this area.
Sackett~ e£ el. (21) have demonstrated a clear dose-relationship
he~waen cigarette smoking and ~he severity of aortic atherosclerosds at
autopsy. Their study of I~019 consecutive au~opslesj on patients who had
been interviewed about ~leir smoking habits prior to their de&th, sh~ed
a signlfic~gnt incresse in ~he severity of aortic atheresclerosis with In-
creasing use of ~Igaret~es, measured both by intensity and by duration of
smoking.
An autopsy s~udy f~om Russia by AvEandilov, at el. (3) demonstrated
a significantly greater degree of a~herosclerosls in uhe coronary artaries
of smohers ~%an in Those of nonsmokers.
Vlel~ et el. (28) have reported on the severity of coronary
atherosclerosls at autopsy of 1,150 men and 290 women who died violent
deaths in Chile. Infozma~ion on smoking habits was available on 566 man.

~ac ~iss'~ hypo~i~ seems to be an important factor in initlating ~es~

THRO~US FORMATI~N baND BLOOD FLOW
Hess, et al, (13) discovered aBgregations of platelets, erythrocytes,
fibrin, detached epithelial cells and so~e as yet unidentified cells on the
aortic and carotid walls of rabbits subjected to cigarette smoke,
The discovery of a plasma factor wbich increases the in vitro synthe-
sis of flbrinogen by ht~na~ liver biopsies has been reported by Pilgeram,
et el. (20) in older patients who have recovered from myocardial infarc-
tion. This factor has been tentatively identified as free fatty acid
(FFA). The authors sta=~ that the association between FFA and flbrinogen
synthesis may provide the link between hyperlipemla ~d clotting. Ciga-
=ett~ smokimg causes an increase in FFA through its stlmulatlon of
eat echolamine release.
Several recent studie~ have begun to elucidate the role which changes
in blood viscosity and certain features of the mlerocirculation might play
in the development of atherosclerosls and coronary hear~ disease.
Dint~nfass (7) has suggested tha~ myocardial infarction and coronary
thron'bosis may be the result of a number of factors, separate or inter-
related, all leading to a high viscosity of the blood. These factors may
affect the migration and adheslon of pla~elets, the volume of plasma, and
24

~he rigidity of the red blood cell. Phenomena leading to high hlood
viscosity may Occur in foca~ arabs leading to occlusion of small vessels~
resul~aat Isehemla, a~d an iufarctlon of either subcliuical or catastrophlc
proportimn~, depending on the ioca~iou and n~ber of vessels involved.
Din~eafass also believes that an increase in blood v~o~i~y p~eced~ the
cllnlc~l manifestations of the high blood viscosity syndroma and that the
increasad blood viscosity seen in post myocardial infarc~ patients is a
reflection of tha etiology rather ~han the affect of the disease.
Local hypo~la leading to an increase in the rigidity of the blood
cell might he produced by cigarette smoking through ~i~ iucrease in COHb.
Fla~elet adhesiveness is inczeased by smoking, probably secondary ~o ~he
releas~ of ¢atecholamiaes (27).
In a etudy of 50 white males wi~h myocardial infarcts and 40 controls,
gtahl~s, e~ al. (23) found that the patlen~s with myoeardlsl Infarc~ had a
~e~n hematocri~ level sigr.iflcantly higher than tha~ of ~h~ con~rois.
S~udie~ of blood volume indicated ~ha~ a reductlon in plasma volume ra~her
than an increase in red c~ll mass among the myocardial infarct patients
accow~ed fo~ the elevated hema~ocrlt.
Seve~ai~evlews of the pathophyslology of ~xl~osu~ to carho~ms~o%-
ide <CO) have appeared rec~n~ly. These are p~r~i~e~ ~o ~he dis~slon of

the rel~tionshlp of s~>king to health, since clg~retto smoke contains
amounts of CO sufficient to cause a COdb level of 5-10 percent in the
smoker, d~pending on the amount smoked and degree of inhalation (9, I0}.
Bartlett (4) has pointed out that because the absorption of CO from
~he ambient environment is dependent upo~ the concentration of CO in the
e~vi~onm~n~ as Contrasted Co tha~ in the ~lood, smokers wlth a COBb level
of 5 percent will n~t absorb CO from inspired ~ir unless the ¢o~ce~ratlon
of CO in the air exceeds 30 p~rts per million. ~0wever, he als~ sta~es
that because the excretion of CO bet~eeu clgarettes will be lower In CO
polluted alr, the smoker will have a higher long-term average COBb level
in a polluted envlronm~nt. Patients with heart disease may be particularly
susc~ptlhle ~o ~ hypoxlc burden ~aused by the p~sen~e of COHb.
Coldsmith~ et al. (i0) have s~ata~ tha~ for ~he U.$. urbaa population,
eiK~rette smoking ~s probably the most important cause of in~reased COBb
above the en4osenous level prodaced by heine catabolism, followe4 by auto-
~ohlle exhaust, occupatlonal so~rces, an~ home heating and cookln~ devices
in that order.
Although Dinman [6) minimizes the importance of ~he effec~ of CO
levels of 5-10 percent on the myocardlu~, h~ states that a shortcoming in
his approa~1 is that focal areas of myocardial ischemla are not reflected
in th~ determin~tlon of oxygen saturation ~ade from samples of blood taken
26
G~

from the coronary sinus. Such areas of isehemla might be importer In Ini-
tiating fatal arrhythmlas. Levels of C0~hwhichdecrease further the oxy-
gen supply to the Ischem~e myocardlum might he readily provided hy clga-
re~e 6mohlng.
Ello~, et el. (8) have reported effects of cigar~ s;~oking on =he
o~-gen affinity of he~globln independent of ~h~ presence of CO. ~nelr
results sugges~ that cigarette smoking inay have both acuEe and chronic
effects on Oxygen affinity which differ i~ dlrec=len, Th~ authors cautlon,
however, that th~ in vlvo oxyge~ a~fi~i~y of he~globln ~y he different

SMOKING AND CHRONIC OHSTRUCTIVE BRON6~OPU~MONARY DISEASE
SU~42~%Y
Addltional evldence which supports the previous judgment of a cause
and effect relationship between cigarette smoking and chronic obstructive
bronchopul~mnary~ diseases, especlally chronic obstructive bronchltlsp
¢ontluues to accumulate from bo~h the UnILed States and abroad. ~ew work
has bee*~ published in che pas~ year which provldes additional information
on the possible mechanis~ by which clgarette smoking can lead to the pro-
ductlon of pulmonary ~mphysema. These ~echanlsms include coilaps~ of small
alz-~ays~ changes in pulmonary s~rfacteal~ impairment of pulmonary.clearance,
dlscuption of the norm~l archltecture of the bronchial epithelium and
obstruction of capillaries of che bronchi and alveoll. A~ present, there
is no ~-~ified hypothesis for the pathogenesls of pulmonary e~physema~ how-
ever~ the patho~enetic mechanisms may involve more ~han one component of
lung ~issue. Epidemloleglcal and laboratory evldence supports the view
tha~ C~are.tLe smokin~ c~ contribute to the development of pulmonary
emphysema in man.
CNP.ONIC BROnChITIS
Cigarette smo~i~ is ~he most importan~ cause Of chronic bronchitis.
In the past year, studies from various coun~rles have appeared ~n the
li~ratur~ reconfirming this assocla~ion° In studies of populations of
workii~g ~en in Italy (15), che Netherlands (6), England (16,35) and the
United S~ates (9), s~kers were found to have a s±gni£1can~ increase i~
either i~cidence or prevalence of chronic ~ro~ch~is as compared ~o ~h~
-4

a
nonsmokers, gtudies of populations from rural and urban Sweden (31) and
rural Australia (25) produced similar findings. A south Afrlcan study (45)
demonstrated decreased forced explratory volumes (FEVI) and peak expiratory
flow rates (PEFR) with increased tobacco oons~ptlon, even in those who did
not have chronic bronchitis.
PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC 0haT.ClIVE BRO~CHOPULMONAbY DISEASE
The prevalence of chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary disease is
p~ohahly underestlma~ed. I~ a study of death certificates, Moriyama, et
a]. (39) have reported ~hat chronic obstructive bronchopulmo~ary dis
ease is often o~llt=ed as a contributing cause of death. Mitchell, etal.
(38) also found that the disease often goes unreported. Barsch. etal.
(5) maintain that much of ~he reported increase in the prevalence of
chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary disease can be accounted for by
he%ter diagnosis. ~owever~ Bar.oh, etal. base their statement On the
supposltlo~ that the rising death rates from ¢~,ronlc obstructive hron-
dlopulmonary disease are incompatible with the fact that ma~y people
are giving up smoking. However, it should be pointed out that ehronge
obs~ruc=ive bronchop~imonary disease associated with cigarette smok-
in, may be ~ result of many years of exposure ~o elgarette smoke
and the mortality rates from hronchitls and emphysema would not reflect
large-scale smoking cessation for som~ time ~o come. Burrows (lO) has
pointed ou~ tha~ ~he effects Of cessation of smokisg on the course of
-j
GO

already existi~p chronic obstructive bronchopulmsnary disease may be
difficul~ ~o assess, since it may be that those who are dfsab!ed by sever~
disease £end to s~op s~king mor~ often than those who have milder forms
of ~ disease. The beneficial ef£ects of cessation of smaking could ~hus
be r~sked.
Many agents appear to contribute to ~he development of emphyse~,
but epidemiolopical and experimental evidenc~ indicat~s that cigarette
smoking is ~he mos~ important agent in the developmen~ of pulmonary
emphyse~ in man. Mention of the theories of pa~ogenesis of pul~nary
emphysema, long the s~bJec~ of debate among medical scie~tists (1,34~
~6,47~8), may help to serve as background for ~he presentation of
recent research on the role of cigarette smok~g in the development of
emphysema.
~o major theories of the pathogenes~s of ~hronic obstructive pu1-
~ e~phy~e~a have been proposed. One theory sta~ that the primary
lesion of e~physe~a is vascular ~nd involves obs~ruction either by
thrombosis or by endarteritis of the pulmonary or bronchial arterial
branches. The resultant loss of nutrient s~pply is thought to result
in isehemic necrosis of ~he alveolar wall and septa. The other major
~h~ory s~a~s ~ha~ chronic ohst~etive pul~nary emphysema resu~s ~rom
the direct effect of toxic inhalan~s on the pui~nary tissue, in ~he

areas of the termlnal bronchloles and alveoll, According to this theory.
changes S~en in ~h~ pulmonary and bronchial vessels are secondary ~o the
destruction of nonvascular tlssue. It ~ay well be ~hat the pathogenesls
of pul~on~ry emphysema can involve several mechanls~s and that both cf
~ese the~rie~ ~ay be applicable but not ~utually exclusive (44).
EEPE~I~NTAL STUDIES IN MAN
Anderson. et al. (2) have reported ~rellminary results which indl-
ca~e ~hat clgare~e ~moki~g causes acu~ changes in ~he v~n~ila~ion/
perfus~on r~l~tlonshlps of th~ l~g and that patients wi~ chronic ob-
structive bronchopulmonary disease appear to be particularly llabl~ to
these d~anges. In some pa~i~n~s the changes are predominantly in per-
fusion, a finding which lends s~pport ~o the v~cular ~heory o~ pul-
monary emphysema. I~ o~h~r pa~i~s~ ~he ch~ge~ are pre~orli~n~ly i~
ventilatlon~ a finding whlch lends support to ~e t~heory of ~he dlr~c~
~£~ec~ of iwh~lan~s in the p~thogenesis of pulmonary emphysema.
Anthoni~en, et al. (3) investigated pulmonary function in iO male
smoke~s wi~h clinically ~id chronic bro~chitls, all of whom had smoked
cigarettes for ~ l~a~ 20 yea~s. Besides ~he usual pulmonary fu~eti~
te~ts, th~s~ investigators employed ~ technique ~or the a~sessme~ of
regional pulmonary function using r~o~ctive xenon. Despite ~he f~¢~
O0

that overall pulmonary function was nearly normal in several patients.
all had decreased ven~ilatlon and depressed ventilation/perfuslon ratios
in some itu~g reglo~s~ with the basal areas being those most commonly
affected. IFn~ author suggested that significant dlse~se in ~he peripheral
airways may exist in patients whose chronlc bron-~hltis is clinically
mild and who show no present impalrment of ventllatory capacity. The
radioactive x~non tes~ may reveal severe compromise of ~le overall gas
exchange when usual studles of ventilatory capacity do not reveal impair-
~ant. These ~langes in the dlstal airways may become more significant
d
clini~ally as the patient ages, since aging has been shown to b~ asso-
elated with a dlmun£~ion in the compliance of the lung (29). Peters, et
al. (40) have reported that the lower flow rates found among college
s~udents who ~moke, especially at lOWer lung volumes, may reflect disease
in the small airways° The diminution in flow in these subjects was ap-
proximately proportionate to ~he to~al llf~-~ime nu~e~ of ~igare~es
s~oked.
Fullmer, et al. (22,23,2~) have found a high prevalence of
C~rschms~'s ~yp~ spirals in the sputum Of cigarette smokers. Th~ easily
recognized spirals consls~ of insp~ssated mucus and are casts of the
lumens of small bronchloles. These spirals were found in the sputum of
23 of 24 clgare~e-smoklng women and in 97 of lOg clgarette-smoklng men.
The total n~er of splr~is on four slides prepared for microse~plc ex-
-4
00

am~nation varied from 0-500. Six o£ ten =x-smokers had spirals in their
sputt~n, but the nL~ber of spirals was reduced to a total of ten or less
on four slldes. A nonsmokil%g control group exposed to cigarette smoke at
work showed a low prevalence of spirals, While a Control group of ~on-
smokers .~ot ~xpcsed to cigarette sm, oke at work showed no spirals in ~heir
sputum. Ful!mer has suggested that Cnrschmann's spfrals may play a role
im the development of emphysema by producing obstruction at the bro~-
chiolar level. The spirals may also allow prolonged contact between
admixed l~%alants including cigarette smoke and the bronchlolar walls. A
stu4y of £h~ presence of spirals in =he sput~ Of a group of nsnsmoking
as~|L~a~le bzo~chi~ics would 5e useful in an attemp~ to determine whether
She prasence of splrsls is a dlre¢= result of exposure to cigare=te smoke,
or is a charaetergstlc of the sputum of bronchi~ics~ whatever the cause
of ~heir bronchitis.
STUDIES IN ANIMALS
Frasca, etal. (17.18) have reported on electron microscople oh-
s~rva~lons of the bronchial epithelium of dogs exposed to cigarette smoke
by active ir~halation =hrough a =racheostoma. The epithelium of a dog
exposed to 44 days of smoking by methods previously described by Cahan,
et el. (11) showed a prollferaKion of goblet =ells and a partial loss of
cilia in the surface lining cells. After 420 days of exposure to eiga-
r±=~e smoke, =he number of cell layers in the epi$hel~um was found to

, C C
be twice that of the nonsmoking dogs. Goblet aells and ciliated columnar
cells w~re no longer present; instead, the surface was lined by aoluuu~ar
and cuboldal cells ~rith stubby projection~ in place of cilia° D~totic
figures were frequently observed in the basal cells. These findings
~y he rel~v~nt to aar~inogene~is as well ~s to th~ development o~
=hroni¢ obstructive Dronchopulmonary d£sease.
Tyler (49} ~nd MeLaughlln, et el. (37) have studied the physiology
and morphology of pul~on~ry emphysema in the horse. The lung of the
horse has been repo~ted to he similar in subgross anatomy ~o that of man
(36). They have studied hoth the spont~eous disease, one of the several
causes of the sTndrome known as ~eaves" and a1~o a similar but not iden-
t±cal pul~onary disease ~nduced by the injection ef chlorpromazine or of
s~yrene bead~ into ~he bronchial arterial clrculatlon. Their £i~dings of
obstru~tlve 1~slons in the bron~h£al ci~cul~tio~ and of accompa~ylng
omphy~ma~us changes in ~e pulmonary pa~e~hym~ provide indlrect ~upport
of a vasc~l~r theory of emphysema. Rieketts~ et al° (gl) were t~able to
prod~e emphysematous lesions in sheep by occlus$o~ of t~e bronchial a~tery;
ho~ever, species differences in the distribution of this vessel may be an
important factor in both ~perlmental ~d spontaneous disease. ~e bron-
c1~lal arte~ in the horse is reported to s~pply the alveolar sepia; wh~re-
as, i~ the sheep it is r~por~ to reach only as far as t~e terminal
~ ronchiol~ (3~).

A pulmonary disease similar histologically to pulmonary emphysema
in m~n appears spentaneously in certain populations of rabbits (12).
goatmm%, et al. (8) have studied this disease by means of the electron
microscope. Three of their findings which tend to support the theory
that the disease is primarily vascular in origin are as follows: Less
of capillary endotheliu~, partial or complete filling of the capillary
lumens with collagen and frequent recanaldzation of the damaged
capillaries.
Freem~n, et al. 41g,20,21) have investigated the effect ef chronic
expesuce of rats to varying concentrations of nitrogen dioxide 4N02), a
gas which is found in cigarette smoke and in industrially polluted air.
These investigators showed that the exposure of rats ever their life-time
of 2-3 years to eoncemtratlons of 2 4± I) parts per million of NO2
resulted i~ reduction in cilia of ~he hronchi&l epithelium, a reductd~
in normal exfoliatlon and ~he appearance of ~identlfied crystallold
inclusions, gxpesure for only 16 weeks to a higher concentration of~ 4
(± i) parts per million led te hypertrophy of the epithelium of the ret-
inal 5ronchioles. Rats exposed to cencentrations varying from l0
4-+ i) =o 25 (-+ 2) parts per million of DI02, developed large, heavy,
nonedematous lungs accompanied by dorsal kyphosis. The increase in weight
of the lung ~;as shown to he caused by widespread hyper=rophy of the

respiratory epithelium, especially in the bronchloles closely associa=ed
with alveolar ducts and in the terminal bron~hioles. Hypertrophy of the
bronchial epitheliun~ and accumulatlon of amorphous proteinaceus ~te-
~lal, flbrin strands and ~acrophages resulted in narrowing of the
l~ens of the terminal bronchioles at their junctions with the alveolar
ducts. Focal hypertrophy of alveolar eplthellum appeared to be
~8ociat~d with ~ompr~sion of alveol~r capilla~les. The alrspace6 of
~he lung were increased in volume.
Other investigators hav~ also reporte~ an increase in alveolar s~ze
in rodents exposed to NO2. Blair, et al. (?) e~pose~ mi~e to 0.5 pert~
per million of NO2 ~or 6, 18 or 24 hours each ~ay. The ~ni~is were
~xpo~ed to NO2 for periods v~rying from 3-1/ months~ the dsgree of change
i~ the p~l~onary histology appeared to ~ncre~e with incre~ed ~ot~i
l~ngth o£ exposure. Besides producing enl~rged alveoli~ exposure to
~02 ~Iso produced e~rly bronchiolar infl~atlon with a concomltant
~e~uctlon in the si~e of the dlst~l air.aye.
OTHER STUDIES
In ~ r~cent ~tensiv~ revle~ of ~ nature and role of pulmonary
sur~actan~. $carpelll (43) states that the lowering of ~urface tension
producad hy ~e action o~ cigarette s~oke on S~rfac~nt may predispose to
the development of emphysema.

Cigarette smoke contains powerful eiliostatie agents (50,51,52)
which Can interfere with pulmonary ~learance. Components of ~o~h ~he
particulate and the gaseous phases adversely affect ciliary activity.
Dalhamn~ et al. (14) have pointed out that in assessing the effect of one
or another of the components of cigarette smoke on ciliary activlty in
various an~r~l systems particular attention must be paid to the level of
exposure~ since at i1ifferent dosages~ ~he particulate and gaseous phases
have different relative effects on ciliary actlvlty. Other recent work
by D~lh~mn, et al. (13) has further clarified the extent to which certain
¢ompo~en~s of cigarette smok~ are retained in the human lung and includes
the ~bservatlon ~hat r~ten~ion of gaseous co~one~ts depends in part on
adsorptlo~ of the gases on particulate matter.
~ali~nger, et al. (4) have indicated that the in vitro cll$ostatle
effects of oxidized nicotine are enhanced by prior infection of the tissue
explants with Influenza B Virus.
Holma (30) h~ re~orted that cigarette smoke has acute depressant
e~fects on pulmonary clearance in llvlng rabbits.
Reeently~ ~hservations have been published on the metabolism and
function of the pulmonary alveolar maerophag~ which~ together ~ith mucus
tra~spor~ performs the f~nction of ridding the lung of 5o~h inanimate
particles and bacteria. Green (27) points out the importance of the
alveolar macrophage i~ gulm~nary clearance of infectious agents. ~e has
I0
-J

also observed ~ deleterious dose-response effect of cigarette smoke on
the phagocytic activity of the macrophage and suggests that this effect
may be related to the development of chronic bronehopulm0nary disease.
In another paper, Green (26) found that the cytotoxic activity of
cigareKKe snake on pul=~nary Vmcrophages may be inhibited by glutathlone
and cysteine. Izard (32) observed that the gaseous phase of cigarette
smoke or one of its co=~p0nents, acrolein, inhibited the multiplication
of cultures of D~lallella bioculata and also observed that the addition
of cysteine to the medium protected against these effects of acrolein.
Heise, e= al. (28) have reported that rabbit pulmonary alveolar
macrophages secrete lysozyme into a culture medium.
Lysozyme may be
active in the clearance of bacteria from the lung.
Roque, et al. (42) found a decrease in the activity of
oxiodoreductases and hydrolases in the alveolar macrophages of smokers.
They also found that the redu~tlon in these eRzymes was directly propor-
tional to the amount of stored fluorescent material present i~% the
maerophages. This material is thought to originate in tobacco smoke.
Roque, et al. suggested that the tobacco s~oke ~ay have induced abnor-
malities in the mitochondria of the macrophage.
Kilhura (~3) theorizes that the pathogenesls of chronic obstructive
bronchepul~onary disease is related to the failure of macrophages =o be
cleared from the alveoll and bronehloles because of impactlon of mucus.

He suggests that dissolution of the cells exposes ~he alveoll and bron-
chioles to damaging enzymes and £o the phagoeytosed particles conta±med
in the maerophage.

£n vle~ of the fact that practlcally all l%u~g.cancer patients start6d
to smoke unfiltered cigarettes and have smoked filter clgaret~e8 only in
recent years and for a variable length of time, a more exact comparison
of the risks of filter and unfiltered cigaret~ smokers must await further
studies (67}.
The relationship of smoking Eo lung cancer in women is a~ area of
Con=inulng eo~cern~ since We may expect a co~tlnued increase of lung
cancer in wom~n wiKh ~he increase in ¢igaret~ smoking amQng them since
World War II, Lombard, et el. (.°2) sh,~ a relatlo~hip of cigarette
s~oking to epidermold lung c~cer in women but ~ot to adenoearei~o~.
Z= is generally agreed that the ~n~rlbutlon of cigarette smoking to the
development of epiderm~id a~d oat-cell l%u~g cancer (~.Teyberg Group I) i~
males is significantly grea~er than to the development of adenocareiDoma
(Kreyberg Group II).
An assocla~ion of other dlsease~ to cancer of the lung is fo~ad in
a report by Salzer, et el. (48). Salzer ~d his colleagues have reported
in ~ autopsy s~udy that lung cancer and scars from stomach ulcers are
~atis~.Ically associated and suggeszed ~ha~,clgare~e smoking' m~y have

that oral submucous fibrosis (38) may be associated with tobacco usa and

stances in tobacco. In a study of oral malignancies indexed in a large
tumor registry in Callfornia~ Chierlci, et al. (13) found that 88 percent
of the cancer patients were smokers. The proportion of smokers ranged from
81-83 percent for cancers of the gingival ~xd alveolar mucosa, huccal mucosa,
hard palate and llp, to 94 percent or more for cancers of the floor of the
mouth~ soft palatej tonsil or oropharynx. U~fortunately, comparable per-
Centages of smokers in a control population are not presented. No new
studies have appeared which clarify the relative contributions of other
environmental risk factors for oral cancer; such as alcohol consumption,
nutritional problemsj and poor oral hygiene.
LARYNGEAL CANCER
Auerbach, et al. (i) studied the histology of the larynx of 942
men, aged 21-95, who were au~opsled at a slngle hospital between 1964
and 1967. Cases of primary cancer of the larynx were excluded from the
study. Smoking histories for all cases were obtalned from family members
of the deceased by tralned interviewers. The n~erous randomized
histologlcal sections were graded by one observer. Table 2 shows
the percentage of cells with atypical nuclei foumd in the true vocal
cord. Of the men who never smoked, 75 percent had nO cells with atypical
nuelei~ only &.5 percent had sections with areas containing 60-69 percent
of cells wi~h atypical nuclei, and no~e had a higher percentage.

The 116 ex-smokers had laryngeal histology similar to that of the
nonsmokerss as far as atypical nuclei were concerned. However~
disintegrating nuclei were found in 40.5 percent of the ex-cigarette
smokers and in only 0.4 percent of the remaining cases. Only one of the
94 cigar and/or pipe smokers had no atypical cells. Three had carcinoma
in situ and one case had a section showing early invasive primary car-
clnoma. The highest percentaSe of atypical cells was found among the
cigarette smokers. The proportion of cases with a high degree of cellular
change increased with increase4 daily smoking. None of the pack or more
a day smokers was free of atypical nuclei. Of those who smoked two oT
more packs per day~ 85 percent had lesions with 60 percent or more atypical
cells as compared to 4 percent of the nonsmokers. " Between i0 and 18 per-
cent of the cigarette smokers had areas of carclnoma in situ~ and four of
the 644 cases showed early microscopic invasion. The'thlckness of the
basal level of the true vocal cord was also directly related to the amount
smoked (table 3).
CANCER OF THE URINANY BLADDER AND KIDNEY
Several studies have dealt wlth the relatlonship of smoking to
caucer of th~ bladder and kidney. James. et al. (23) demonstrated that
an association existed for cancer of the hlad4er. The study by Fraumenl
(i?) also showed epide~iological evidence for such a relationship fo~
bladder and kidney cancers. Be~.ington, et al. (8,4) indicated a~

association betwee= all kinds of tobacco usage and adenocarclnoma of bke
kidney as well as adenoma of the kidney. However, on the basis of this
study alone, the relationship between "all kinds of tobacco" and cancer of
the kidney cannot be considere~ as established in view of the small number
of cases involved. In a preliminary report of a study on the epldemiology
of cancer of the kidney, Wynder, etal. (68) have shown a strong associa-
tion between excessive cigarette smoking and adenoearcino~ of the kidney~
and although the disease is not ~eo~on in nonsmokers, they considered
excessive cigarette smoking to be a contributory factor. This study found
no relationship to pipe smoking~ and only a very weak relationship to
cigar smoking. A signdflcaut association was found between cigarette
smoking and epldermold cancer of the kidney, a relatively Uncommon type
of cancer. Further research on the strength and mechanisms of the as-
sociation between smoking and cancers of the urinary tract is needed,
CANCER OF THE PANCREAS
The previously suggested association hetween cigarette smoking and
cancer of the pancreas was again noted in a Japanese study by Ishii, etal.
(22), in which the authors reported a higher relative risk for pancreatic
cancer 8~nong smokers than among nonsmokers,
GENEK~L ASPECTS OF CARCINOGENICITY
The majority of the t~orlgenic agents in tobacco smoke are found
in the particulate matter "tar." The well established carcinogenieity
iI

of tobacco "tar" in a variety of animal speeles an4 tissues (66) was
reeouflr~d r~cently (II,35,40,52,56). A small portion of the smoke
particulates (0.03 percent) is made up of polynuelear aromatle
hydrocarbons (PAH) with two or ~re rluys. A ~ouceutrate ~ontai~ug
polynuelear aromatic hydrocarbons and amountlug to 0.6 perceuY of the
whole 'liar" was found to be the ~ost earci~oger~ fractlon of tobacco
smoke (66). Another preparation of a PAB concentrate induced slgnlflcant
cytologic ch~yes In ~use trachea and h~an fetal lung when gzown in
organ culture (28,29}° Other applications of concentratlons of selected
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbous have produced similar results (27)°
Of the Ideutlfled PA}[, at least 12 are kno~ tu~or iultlators. These
partlcular compounds have been 5how~ to be carci~o~ic, eve~ whe~
applied lu doses of a few micrograms (63,66). Tumor i~itiators induce
changes in the target cells, especially in DNA (9,1~)° Tu~r promoters
are agents which pro~te the neoplastic transformation of imitiated cells.
Al~houyh ~he structures of ~s~ of these ~or pro~ters ar~ ~ii
unknown, there appear to be several dlffereut types in tobacco smoke
(5,41j~9,66). Recently, Back, et al (6) published data which conflr~ad
earlier flndlngs ~hat whole cigarette tar, the ueutral fracz~on, ~wo
neutral su~frae~ions and ~he weak acidic (phenolic) fractlon contaln
tumor promoters. O~e recen~ study i~dleated that "tar" o~aln~d fro~
tobacco stems only had essentially no tu~r pro~tlng activity (65).
12
C~

/
During the last year, several studies have reconfirmed the find-
ing that selection of tobacco and the use of tobacco sheets and filter
can lead to a significant reduction of "tar" a~d PAH i~ cigarette
smoke, as well as to a reduction of the tumorigenicity of tobacco "tars."
Similar results have also been reported for con~erclal cigarettes (21,34).
Experimental studies demonstrated that with tobacco additives one can
reduce "tar," nicotine, PAN and ttm~rlgeniclty of cigarette smoke (12,21).
In terms of selective reduction of tobacco smoke components, these investl-
sations map be of practical value, as well as of academic interest (57).
TOBACCO ALKALOIDS
Present evidence does not indicate tha= tobacco alkaloids are car-
cinogenic. A possible exceptlos map be coKini~e, which was reported to
induce malignant tumors in rats [principally leukemlas (58)] and adenomas
of the bladder in mlce (7). goyland recently suggested that one or more of
the three possible nlcotlne-N-oxides may be present in tobacco smoke a~d
may be carcinogenic (7).
Tobacco alkaloids could theoretically contribute to the overall ear-
clnogenlclty of tobacco smoke, based on the possibillry that in tobacco
smoke nornIcotlne and other secondary amines ~y react with nitrogen oxides
to form the N-nitrosamlues, of which several are knowncarclnogens, espe-
cially N-nltrosonornlcotlne and N-nitrosoanabasine (56). So far, however,
C~

r , ( f
N-nitrosamlnes of nornicotine and other alkaloid N-nitrosam/nes have not
been detected in tobacco smoke (36).
NICKEL
The relationship of nickel compounds to the development of cancer has
been discussed in a recent review by Sunderman (55)~ who suggests that there
is a posslbility that nickel oarbonyl may be present in cigarette smoke
and may act as a co-carcinogen by inhibiting the induction of pulmonary
benzopyrene hydroxylase, an enzyme which converts 3,4 benzpyrene to non-
carcinogenic hydroxylated derivatives.
EXPERIMENTAL ASPECTS OF CARCINOGENESIS
RETENTION OF SMOKE CONSTITUENTS
Studies on human smokers by Dalhamn, et el, (15) demonstrated that
about 60 percent of the volatile, water soluble compounds of cigarette
smoke, 20 percent of the volatile, non-water soluble compounds and 16
percent of the particulate matter of cigarette smoke can be retained in
the mouth when the smoke is held in the mouth for up to two seconds.
Under conditions in which the smoke is immediately deeply inhaled,
between 91 and 99 percent of the components of cigarette smoke in-
vestigated (particulate matter, toluene, acetonitrile, acetonei isoprene,
acetaldehyde) were retained, with the exceptlo= of carbon mo~oxlde of
which 30-60 percent was retained (16).

CLL~NGE$ IN CELL Cb~TURES INDUCED BY CIGARETTE S>IOKE
Leuchtenberger, et al. (30) have reported that passing cigarette
smoke through a charcoal filter prevented the damage caused by either
whole smoke, or the isolated gas phase of cigarette smoke, to cultures
of mouse kidney cells. In the s~e papec~ they reported th~ the slng1~
exposure of t£ssue cultures to puffs of charc~al-fiLtere~ smok~ produced
a signlflcant increase in the mlt0tic index of the kidney ceils. In
ano~le~ ~t~dy~ Leuch~enberger~ et al. (31~ r~ported ~h~ sin~le exposure
~o 9 puff~ of the ga~ phase from charcoal-£ilte~ed cigarette smoke quickly
stimul~ed ~h~ synthes~s of DNA and RNA by cultures o~ mouse fibroblasts.
Repea~ed exposure of ~he cul~res to the filtered gas phase ~es~te~ im
morphological and eytochemical changes indicative of ~bnormal proli£e~-
~io~. ~i~ce the s~e a1~e~at~o~ ~re fo~d ~o be p~esent~ to a much
le~ e~en~ im some Control cultures, ~ ~u~ho~s ¢o~si~e~ed ~h~ ~he
filtered gas phase ~nhanc~d characteristics already possessed by the
=ells. They concluded ~ha~ the gas phase of unfiltered cigarette
~mok~ contains no~ only substances whi=l~ inhibit cellula~ me~abol£sm~
but also f~c~ors which stimulete cellular met~bol~sm. These
latter fa~ors may be unmasked by pass~n8 ~he gas phase through a
=~ar¢o~l filter. The id~nti~les of ~he sp~clfl= gase~ ~emov~d by ~he
15
-d

charcoal filter and the extent to which each was removed were not reported
by the authors. Investigation of the relationship b~tween the changes
observed in the tissue cultures and in vlvo metabolism is necessary for
the interpretatlon of the results o2 these experiments.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF BRONCHOGENIC CAKCINOMA IN ANIMALS
Because of the technical problems involved in inhalation experiments
in small anlmals (59,61), various animal model8 have been developed which
do not employ the inhalation of smoke. These models have been used to
~tudy the role played by ¢arcinogenin substances found in tobacco smoke
in the induetinn of bronchogenlc carcinoma.
gafflottl (43) in a recent review of experlmental respiratory tract
carcinogenesis ~escrlbed the development of experimental models for the
induction of pulmonary tumors and discussed a method of Indnclng broncho-
genie carcinomas in Syrian golden hamsters by intratracheal instillation
of a finely particulate4 crystalllne carcinogen (e.g., benzo(a)pyrene)
attached to a suspension of fine particles of a carrier dust (e.g.,
ferrl¢ oxide). This method reproduces some of the condltions of human
exposure to inhaled carcinogens and has resulted in incldences of up to
Ig0 percen~ of respiratory tumors, mostly sguamous cell and anaplastie
¢arclnomas of the larger bronchl. These ~ors have been found to be
Invasive, metastaslzing and transplantable. Safflottl reported that the

carrier dust particles play an essential role in transportlng the car-
einogens through the bronchiolar and alveolar wall into the lung tissues
where they are phagocytized. The carcinogens are then eluted by the plasma
and diffused i~to the lung tlssuep reaching up to the ~ucosa of the larger
bronchi (42,44,45,46). Varlations in particle size and distribution in
the suspended partleulate matter affect the retention rates of be~zpyrene
In the lungs (47). The development of this ezperimenta/ model has led to
the undertaking of new research in many laboratories attempting to define
the factors responsible for carcinogenesis in the zes~izatozTtza¢~.
I~o other techniques used to produce sq~mou$ ¢e~Ii carcinoma In
small laboratory animals are the passage of threads impzegnated with car-
cinogenic hydrocarbons into the lung and the Implantation o~wi~e ~sh
pellets i~ the hronchus. The latter technique gives a dose-response
relationship between earelnogenle hydrocarbons and squamous cell carcinoma
of the lung in rats (27). In order to overcome the t~auma£1e effects Of
the surgery involved In these procedures, two addltlonal techniques have
been utilized. In one method~ the eazeinogen is suspended in Preundls
adjuvant and upon =raoheal instillation ca= lead to bronchial cancer (69).
In this experiment~ even more cancers were found when the rats were pre-
treated with tubercle bacilli. Pretreatment of the animals with tubercle
bacilli produced infarcts, as well as scarring of the lung. This flndlng
17
&:

is of inte=est because earlier studies showed that scarring of rat lung by
the halog~nated hydrocarbon hexachlorotetrafluorobutane increases their
susceptlbillty to the development of squamous carc~o~ when exposed to
carcinogenic hydrocarbons (54). That scarrinE of the lung may Increase the
susceptibility of the lung to carcinogens is in line with some recent ob-
servatlons on humans by Bennett, eb el. (2) who showed the frequent
occurrence of pulmonary scars in males with ~denocarclnoma of the lung.
EXPERIMENTAL A~PECTS OF CANCER OF THE BLAD~ERAND KIDNEY
Tobacco smoke ~ppears to Co~ta~ traces of s~veral aro~tlc~ines
which are established bladder cacclnogens. Of these, however, only ~eta-
naphthylamlne has thus far been identified in tobacco smoke with 2.2 x 10-8 g.
per cigarette (20). At concentrations such as this, it appears
unlikely that such aromatlc amines can account for the increased risk
among clgarett~ smokers of developing kidney and bladder cancer. A more
likely correlatlon may exist between these types of cancers In Smokers
and their elevated urinary excretion rate of carcinogenic metabolites of
tryptophan, and their oxidation products (49,50).
Recently, the tobacco alkaloid cot~nine was reported to induce
adenomas in the bladder of mice [16 percent (7)]. This observatlon needs
further testlng. Cotinlne is one metabollc product of nicotlne and is
found in tobacco, cigarette smoke (26) and the urine o~ ~mokers (35).
18
L0

A study by Schlegel, et al. (51) iDdleates an elevated concentration
of certain o-amlnophenols plus their phenoxazen-oxidation producLs in the
urine of certain types Of bladder cancer pa=lents and cigarette smokers,
when compared to the urine of nonsmokers* Further studies are needed
on this problem.

EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON PREGNANCY
SL%R~RY
Maternal smoking during pregnancy ~s associated with decreased
infant birth weight and increased incidence of prematurity, as defined by
weight alone, and may be associated with an increased incidence of spon-
taneous abortion, stillbirth and neonatal death. Changes in the
metabolism of the placenta and in various hem~ologlcal factors in the
newborn infant have been found to be associated with maternal smoking~
but the mechanism of the effect of smoklng on the outcome of pregnancy
remains to be de~erm~ned.
New studies on the effect of maternal smoking on the outcom~ of
pregnancy have been published since the review of this topic in the 1967
Report (ii). In the 1967 review, the literature cited supported a re-
lationship between maternal smoking and low b£rthwelght and prematurlty
in infants. However, the evidence relating the maternal s~oklng
to fetal or neonatal death was not definitive. The additioR of new
studles have reconfirmed the relationship between maternal smoking and
low birth weight and prematurlty. The relationship between maternal
smok£ng and spontaneous abortion, stillblrth~ and neonatal death has been
investigated in several studies. As detailed below, some of the studies re-
ported a statistically significant increase in ~successful pregnancies in
mothers who smoked when compared with mothers who did not smoke.
~0

In a prospective study of more than 2,000 pregnant women.
Russell. et al. (8) examined the effect of the mother's smoking habits
and blood pressure on the outcome of the pregnancy and on the birth
weight of the infant. A smoker was defined as one who regularly smoked
five or more cigarettes a day. In each blood pressure categoryI the per-
centage of unsuccessful pregnancies (abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death)
was higher for smokers. Although fewer smokers were found in the hlgher
blood pressure ca~egorles~ women who smoked and had blood pressure levels
equal ~o, or greater chan 150/i00~ had a rate of unsuccessful pregnancy •
of 31.4 percent as compared to a rate of 14.5 percent among nonsmokers
with the same blood pressure levels. For those with blood pressure leveis
of less than i40/90, the percentage of unsuccessful birth was 6.5 among
smokers and 2.7 among nonsmokers~ for those w~th blood pressure levels in
~he range of 140/90, the percentage was 6.8 among smokers and 4.1 among
nonsmokers. Although the number of women in the two groups was small
(35 and 138~ respectively), the difference observed was statistically
significant.
Extrapolating from his series, Russell (7) estimated cha~ one out of
every five unsuccessful pregnancies in women who smoked regularly would
have been successful if the mother had not smoked regularly during the
pregnancy. This statement implies a cause-and-effect relatlonshlp be-
tween maternal clgarette smoking during pregnancy and abortion and

perlnatal death. In the absence of proof of a cause-and-effect relation-
shlp~ the least that tan be said is that on the basis of the findings of
hu~sell, et al.~ one out of every five ~succe6sful pregnancies among
women who smoke regularly during pregnancy would not have been unsuccess-
ful~ if these women had ~he same ri~k o~ ~succes6ful outcome of pregnancy
Wom~n who do ~o~ Smoke,
In keeping wlth previous findings, Russell, et al. found that the mean
birth weight of the infant was lower for the smoking mothers in each blood
pressure cateSo%7. Various factors were ~xa~in~d as ¢onfo~dlng varifies
for thelr possible effect on birth welght and the productlon of spurious
~soclatlons. Th~se included: Soclal class of con~ort~ maternal age~
parity, maternal height, so=lal class of womanls father, educational level,
age of consort, ~rnal attitude toward the pregnancy, work during preg-
nal~cy and sex of offsprlng. For e~ch variable~ the smokln~ effect was
clearly distinguished as a separate effect even when the individual factor
was itself associated with smokin~ (consort's soclal class, father's social
cI~, and maternal educatioual lev~l).
A study of increases in the infants' wei~t and in their head cir-
cumference during the early weeks of lSfe revealed that the bables of
smoking mothers grew faster ~han those of nonsmokers through the sixth
month after b~r~h. However, the ~an welgh~ ~afn per week of conception
age (duration of pregnancy, plus age after birth) was greater in bahles

of nonsmokers through the six=h week, the effect not being visible at the
sixth month examination. These gast two findings support the theory that
smoking during pregnancy aces as a retard~g $nfguenee on fetal growth and
that a catchlng-up phenomenon begins among the babies of smoklng mothers
at blrth when the toxic Influence is ~emoved.
In a controlled study of 197 premature births among Negroes, Terris,
et al. (9) found a significantly higher prevalence of smoking among the
mothers of premature infants. Prematurity was defined as a birth
weight of 2,500 grams or less.
Mulcaby~ etal. (6) studied the relationship between smoking habits
and the outcome of pregnancy in 3~681 women admitted t~ the Coombe
Lying-in Hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Besid~s finding a significantly
lower birth weight for infants born to mothers who smoked, they discovered
a signffleant increase in the incidence of neonatal death, stillbirth and
spontaneous abortlon° These effects were independent of age or parity.
No significant difference in the rate of congenital abnormalities w~
found between the offspring of the smokers a~d those of the nonsmokers.
Kizer (g) studied the effect of maternal smoklng on the outcome of
pregnancy in 2,095 patients in Venezuela. He fo~ a slgnifi~ant diminu-
tion in the birth weight of infants of smoking mothers and ~ higher

*%
incidence of premature rupture of the membranes, but did not find a
difference In the incidence of abortlon or perinatal mortality.
Duffus, et al. (2) studled the refatlonshlp between smoking during
pregnancy and the incidence of albumlnurlc preeclamptlc toxemla in
2,543 marrled~ urban primigravlda~ attending antenatal cllnlcs in
Aberdeen in 1960. Alb~inurlc preeclampsla is defined as albumlnur£a
i~ pregnancy in which the urine contains at least .25 grams of albumin
per liter accompanled by a rlse in diastolic blood pressure to 90 m ~g.
or more, on two or more days after the 26~h week of gestation or
progressively during labor. The incidence of albuminurle preeclampsla
was lower in smokers than i~ nonsmokers. Among the preeclamptlcs,
however~ smokers lost more babies in the perinaLal period than the
nonsmokers. The babies of smokersp both normal and preeclamptl¢, had
a lower mean weight than the babies of nonsmokers. In ~he preeclamptlc
group~ a greater percentage of the babies Of smokers weighed less than
five ponds. These differences are in keeping with those found in other
studies but do not reach statlst£cal significance. The £mplleatlon is
that smoking mothers are less likely to be preeclamptln~ possibly by way
of blood pressure effect~ hut are more likely to have their pregnancy
result In a perlnatal death in the even~ they are preeclamptlc.
In a study of 5,843 deliveries in H~gary, FUI@p (3) found a
statistically siEalf~cant increase in premature births among women who
~J

smoked during their pregnancies, whether the women were married or un-
married, held a job, or were unemployed. Lacuska, et al. (5) found a
hlgher frequency of premature births and abortions among women who
smoked durlng pregnancy th~n a~o~g nonsmokers, although the differences
fell short of statistical significance.
Tokuhata (I0) a~alyzed the fertility history in relation to smoking
in groups of married women ~ho died of breast cancer, genital cancer,
and various noncancerous diseases. Statistically significant increases
in both the rate of infertility (as ~udged by absence of pregnancy) a~d
in fetal loss (defined as abortions and stillblr~hs) were found in
smokers who died of ~onca~cerous diseases. These differences withstood
analysis for a number of possibly eonfo~ding factors. However, since
the sample was made up of women who died i~ a certain geographfeal area
in a given amount of ~Ime, biases may have been introduced. Retro-
spectlve findings is a group of dead people are not necessarily the same
as findings derived in a prospective study of a living population.
Al~hough by this Cime the evidence for reduction in birth weight of
babies born to smoking too=hers is overwhelming, a problem ~hat remains
=o be solved is why some studles do and others do not appear to show
fetal wastage as measured by abortion, stillbirth, and neonatal death.
I~ may be that the method of selection of the population under study,
especially the degree to which entire obstetrical histories are included,
accounts for this variation.

EXPERI~I~AL
Younoszai, et al. (13) compared various hematological factors in the
blood of 16 smoking mothers and newborn infants with those of 16 non-
smoking mothers and their offspring. Both groups of infants were de-
livered at term and appeared clinically well. The smoking mothers had
a mean earhoxyhemoglohln saturation of venous blood of 8.3 percent as
compared to 1.2 percent in the nossmoking mothers. Corresponding figures
for the umbillcal vein cord blood were 7.3 percent and 0.7 percent. A
mild metabolic acidosis was seen in the infants of smokers. These infants
also had a higher ~an capillary hematocrlt th~ those of the nonsmoking
mothers. The authors point out that the differences although real probably
are not of clinical slgnlfleance in the newborn. H~ever, the effect of
chroDic exposure of the embryo and fetus to earhoxyhemoglobln levels and
other hematological abnormalities has not been elucidated.
Welch, et el. (12) reported that the placentas from women who
smoked during pregnancy show a much greater ~ility to hydroxylate
henzo(a)pyrene than the placentas from women who ~d not smoke 4urlng
their pregnancy. The placentas from women reporting similar cigarette
consumption varied greatly in the degree of BP hydroxylas~ activity.
~owever, no information is available on the brand of cigarettes smoked
or the degree of inhalation, 4/fferences in which may result in different

dosages of BP. Ic is possible, but not likely, that carcinogens in to-
bacco smoke reach the fetus in significant amounts. The ultimate effect
of the exposure of the human fet~s to carcinogenic substances is unknown.
gecker, et aL (1) studied the effect of subcutaneous injections of
increasing doses of nicotine on groups of pregnant rats and their off-
spring. They found that the rats receiving nicotine injections consumed
less food and gained less weight than control anlmals and that the
magnitude of this effect increased when the dose of nicotine was greater.
~here~ no other differences were fo~md in the rats receiving lower
dosages, those receiving g.O mg/kg or 5.0 mg/kg daily had offspring which
differed from those of the controls in being llghter~ having a longer
gestation, a higher mortality rate during the first 48 hours of llfe
and a fetal appearance.

SMOKING AND NONCANCEROUS ORAL DISEASE
The previous Reports have not presented findings on noncancerous
oral disease. Several recent studies have made a review appropriate at
this ti~. This review of the available lltera=ure leads to the concluslon
that ulceromembranous gingivitis, alveolar bone loss, and stomatftls nicotina
are more co--only found among smokers than among nonsmokers. The influence
Of smoking on periodontal disease and gingivitis probably operates in con-
~unctien with poor oral hyiene. In addition, there is evidence that smok-
ing may he associated with edentullsm and delayed socket healing. While
further experimental and clinical studies are indicated, it would appear
that nonsmokers have an advantage over smokers in terms of their oral
health •
Periodontal disease is a chronic destructive process affecting ~he
supportdn8 structures of the teeth (glnglva, perlodon~al fibers and
alveolar hone). It is generally considered inflammatory in nature.
Solomon,¸ et al. (21) studied data on 3,552 nonsmokers and 3,639 smokers,
all white and between the ages of 20 and 79. He found that perlodontal
disease occurred without slgniff=ant statistical difference in male and
female nonsmokers of the same age, but that ~mokers of both sexes had a
higher prevalence of the disease. The prevalence in female smokers
paralleled that in male smokers in the younger age groups but resembled

a
that of the nonsmokers in the older age groups. The authors believe that
this difference is related to increased smoking in younger women.
Brendtzaeg, et al. (3) examined 206 Norwegian Army recruits between
the ages of 19 and 25 and found a trend toward increased perlodontal dis-
ease with increased smoking. Hogever~ when an a/%alysis of covariance
was perfollmed, most of the changes in periodontal disease severity were
accoutred for by changes in oral hyglene. This finding suggests that to-
bacco consumption may influence the periodontal tisnues but only with
accompanying changes in oral hygiene.
A seemingly contradictory paper reporting o~ periodontal diseases
in 8,206 Ceylonese was published by Waerhaug (25). He feared tohaccu
smokers to have less periodontal disease th~ nonsmokers. He pointed out,
however, that for many individuals the alternative to smoking tobacco
is chewing betel nuts, which is associated with even more periodontitis
than cigarettes. Thus, tobacco users are relatively better off.
The relationship of s~klng to gingivitis, the initial stage of peri-
odontal disease, has also been studied. Arno, et el. (2) examined 1,346
employees of a manufacturing company in Oslo and found that tobacco smoking
was associated with ~ increase in the prevalence of gingivitis. H~ever~
its importance as compared with that of oral hygiene was not a dominating
one. Ludwiek, et el. (15) studied 2~577 naval enlistees at the Great Lakes
Naval Training Center and found no relationship between smoking and simple

marginal gingivitis, but a slgni£ic~t one between smoking and ulcero-
membranous gingivitis (necrotlzlng ulceratlve gingivitis, Vincent's
glnglvitls~ trench ~ou~). Thls is an acute form of periodontal dls-
ease of apparent sudden onset~ ~aracterized by ulceration of the tips of
the interdental papillae, glngival bleed£ng, pain, and foul odor. In the
United States and Europe, it occurs primarily in adolescents and young
adults, gac~erla, local factors, systemlc factors, and psychogenic
factors have bee~ suggested as ~ontrlbuclng to Its etiology (i0).
Pindborg's s~udy (17) of 1,433 D~£sh ~oyal Marines beCwee~ the ages
of ~ and 28 revealed that the prevalence of chronic marglnal gdngdvltls
was not affec~e~ by smoking, but that the prevalence of ul~eromembranous
gingivitis was much greater in smokers chart nonsmokers. A second stay
by Pdndb~rg (16) of 3,505 Danish ~llltary personnel confirmed these fi~dlngs:
Nonsmokers had a prevalence of ulceromembranous gX=givltls of 2.2 per-
cent; whil~ for those who smoked iN g. or less of tobacco daily, the
prevalence was 7.0 percent, and for more than lO 8. a day it was 9.5 per-
Ce~t.
gmltt (2D) found a prevalence of ul~eromembranous gingivitis of 2.5
percen~ in D~t~h Navy recruits. In ~hose who smoked 50 g. of tobacco for
a week o~ more~ the prevalence ~as i0.5 peree~t.
Frandsen, et aL (9) investigated the ~orrelat~on between the form
of tobacco used and o~curren=e of glnglvltls in Danish Marines. ~e fo~d

that 1,848 cigarette smokers and 273 pipe smokers had essentially the s~me
rates of simple marginal and ulcerome~branous gingivitis.
Arno, et el. (I) and Herulf (ii) have investigated alveolar bone
changes in smokers, Arno studied 728 men between the ages of 21 and 45
and found that alveolar bone loss, measured as the percentage of maximum
hei2ht adjacent to the meslal and distal surfaces of each tooth present,
was higher ~ong those with high tobacco eonsump~on. The author suggested
that tobacco cons~mptlo~ is a complicating factor in periodontal disease
and when aco~mpanled hy poor oral hygiene and unfavorable systemic back-
ground may help speed up the destruction of the supporting tissues of the
teeth.
Herulf measured interdental boney sepia in 389 men and 215
women at the Institute of Dentlstry in Stockholm. He, too, found a
si2niflcan~ relatlonshlp between smokln8 and bone loss.
(., Th~ r~latianshlp be~een clgareKte smoking and edentullsm has been
studied et (n) in a - Id ntS of
Michi2an. Information on 324 dentulous and 84 edentulous people revealed
that among males in both groups those with the greatest evidence of peri-
odontal disease smoked slgnlflcantly more cigarettes than those with
md~ium or little evidence of the dise~e. Solomon, et el. (21) found
si~nlficantl~ more edentullsm and advanced periodontal disease in both
men and women who'smoked ci2arettes than in nonsmokers of the same a~e.

Jackson (12) has cited heavy smoking as a factor in delayed healing of
tQoth sockets after extraetion.
Stomatlt~s nlcotlna ds a form of palatal leukoplakia (4). it is
characterized by raised umbilieated papules with small central red de-
pressions located primarily on the soft palate and the posterior region
of the hard palate. The papules represent blocked palatal mucus Elands
and the red depressions are their inflamed duct orifices. Saunders (18)
note8 that ~he lesions begin as tiny red dote and may progress very
rsrely to ulceration. Although it sometimes o~c~s in cigar and cigarette
smokers, stomatltis nicotgna Is found most frequently in pipe smokers (4,
5,19). According to Chapman, et al. (4), pipe ~moki~g points a stream of
smoke 41rectly onto the palate, thereby allowing iQ~ge~ contact between it
and ~he smoke ~hau £n other forms of tobacco use~ The condltion disappears
with the eessatlon of smoking (6,7,8,14,18,19,24), though Kerr (13) warns
that healing may be slow, sometimes requiring mo~ths before no leslo~s are
present.
Thoma (23) observed a patlent who wore dentures for over forty years
an4 showed lesions of stomstitis nicotina only on the part of the palate
that was not covered by the prosthesls. He concluded that the changes
were due ~o local surface rather than to systemic influences.

L~wls (14), Saunders (18), and Thoma, et al. (24) advise biopsy
=o rule out malignancy in advanced cases. Forsey, et al. (8) feel that
no assocla£ion between s£omatitis nicotina and Cancer has been de~n-
strated.
