In a separate publication, McCarthy and Craig (BP 60)) reported
that 15'.percent of. a groupp of 91 asymptomatic female smokers in.Manitoba,
had abnormally high closing voIlumes (CU),, in contrast to the 72' percent
of 46 male smokers in London (BP 8) who had abnormally high closing
voliumes. None of the female nonsmokers had any CV'abnormalities,.
The authors suggested that differencesin.pollution exposureofe theLondom and Manitoba study groupsi
mi'ght in.part,, account for the differences
in prevalence of the Ch abnormalities.
Iir.a, study ofpulmonaryfuneti'on of subjects voluntarily reporting
to an emphysema screening center, Buist, et al. (BP 116) reported
that 6 percent of the nonsmokers, 35 percent of the current cigarette
smokers, and23.percent of the ex-smokerss hadab..normall.CV/VC ratios..
In each decade from age 20 to 79', more smokers andlex-smokers had
abnormal CV/VC ratios than nonsmokers (fig.ure. 3):. The daily consumption
of. cigarettes: was relatedito. CV abnormalities in.a.dose-responser.elation-

of cigarexte smoke inhalation and prevalence rates for chronic bronchitis,

Olziihutag et al. (BP 229)) studied the prevalence of chronicc
bronchitis in Mongolia and found no association between cigarette
smoking.a.nd chroniobronchitis in urban women, and'd a reverse association
in.rural women. These authors found close associations between chronic
bronchitis and smoking in men. The authors pointed.out that chronic
bronch~itiss increased in frequency with age.

Hutchison,et al. (BP' 23) studied 28 patients with pulmonary
emphysema 8 of whom.were homozygous deficient for alpha1-antitrypsin.
Althoughth:e annual consuuption of tobacco up to the age of onset
of dyspnea was equal in the deficient and nondeficient group of patients,
total lifetime tobacco consaanption was significantly less among the
AeYT deficient patients than az¢ong:the nondeficients (P <.01). All
8.AAT deficient patients were smokers. Although there was no significant
difference in.the incidence or age of onset of chronic bronchitis
between the two groups,, the A[iT deficient group of patients developedi
exertional dyspnea 12 years earlier than the nondeficients(P <.00.1)...
Thes.e data suggest a synergistic effect of cigarette smoking on the
development of pulmonary emphysema in those patients with homozygous
deficiency of alphal-antitrypsin.
clolley et al. (BP 213) ) analyzed a cohort of. 3,899 persons born
in the last week of March 1946 in England, Scotland, and Wales and
found that irrespective of a~hilstory of lower respiratory tract illness
before the age of two, the smokers had a greater prevalence of symptoms
of' winter coughh at age 20 than th,enonsmokers (tab:le. 3). . Thee authors
argued that cigarette smoking,, by age 20, is a far more important
factor iin the development of'respiiratory disease than is a history
of lower respiratory tract.illness. The results of this study are
evidence against the hypothesis of a purely constitutional susceptibility
to the development of respiratory: diseases independent of tobacco
exposure.

CHAPTER 3
NON-NEOPLASTIC ERONCHOPUIt10NARY DISEASES
IN2'RODUCTION.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (defined here as
chronic bronchitis and emphysema) accounted for approximately 2'5,000
deaths in.the United States in 1969.. In 1970, in the U.S., the combined
preva~lence.ofe chronic bronchdtisfor members. of both sexess over age17'was29.5 per
1,000.population., and for emphysema: was 9.8 per 1000'0
population. In: 1970,,persons with chronir br:onchitis lost, on the
average, 1'.4,workdaysper year,, andl those with emphysema lost greater:
than 5 workdhys,per year due to disability from these diseas:es.
Epid'emiologSc., autopsy, and experimental data, presen~ted.in previous
editions of this report (1964, 1967', 1968s 1969, '. 1971, 1972,. 1973):
indicate that:ciga:rette smoking:g is.s the.pri'mary cause of chronic bronchitis
and emphysema.. A summary of'that evidence is presented below:
1. Results from.numerous.prospective studiesshow a markedly
increased mortality from COPD:for male smokers compared to:n:onsmokers...
There is a limited'amount of data dealing with the relationship between
cigarettesmoking and COPD.mortality in women.
2.. Dose-responserela.tionships between cigarette smoking' and
mortality from chronic bronchitis and emphysema were demonstrated
in all studies in which dose-specific mortality rates were evaluated.
Heavy cigarette smokers ran relative riskss of mortality from chronic
bronchitis rangi.ng.from.3'..6 to 21.2'timesthose of nonsmokers, and''
relative risks of mortality from emphysema ranging from 6.9 to 25.3.
times those of nonsmokers.
3. Data from~many studies demonstrate that male and female
smokers suffer fromsymptoms of COPD' (including cough,, sputum;production,
and dyspnea) more frequently than do nonsmokers.
4.. Of the studies in which dose-specific.prevalence rates.were
examined strong.doae-response relationshipsbetween cigarette smoking
and symptoms of COMweregenera~lly demonstrated..
5.. The relationship.between cigarette.smoking.and COPDmortality
hasbeen demonstrated in theUnited.States, Canada, Great Britain,
and!Ireland;:strong as.soci'ati.onsbetween cigarette smoking.and COPD
morbidity have been shown in.the United.S!tates, Canada., England:,, Australia,,=

and cigarette consumption ass risk factors in the development ofchronicf nonspecific
respiratorydis.eases. In.an.analysisof the initial data
from.a prospective stud'yof. Boston policemen, Speizer and Ferris (BP 159)
found that a higher percentage of men in three of four smoking categories
who worked in areas of heavy traffic had chronic nonspecific respiratory
d'iseasecompared with men who worked in the, outskirtss ofBostom (figure
1)'.3 In general for each of the four traffic exposure categories,
the prevalence of CNRD was greater among ex-smokers than nonsmokers,.
and greater among curr.entt cigarette smokerss than among either ex-smo'kerss
or nonsmokers (table 2). Conversely,, the prevalence of CNRD in current
smokers appeared to be related to the number oflf years of traffic exposure;
th~ose men with few yearss of'such exposureh~ad approximately the, same.
incidence:as,those who worked in the outskiYts. In the analysis of
thiss relatively homogenous group of men, it appears that "traffic
polluti.on" and' cigarette.smoking may beacting,in.concert too ihcreas:ee
the risk of developing chronic respiratory disease..

6. Epidemiologic evidence from~many countriess indica.testhat
for both sexes, symptomatic an3 asymptomatic cigarette smokers have
g,reaterimpailrment of pulmonary function than do:nonsmokers.l
7'. Previous evidence.indi'cates that cessation.ofn smoking results.
in lower death rates from COPD, improved pulmonary function, and a
d'ecrease in the prevalence of pulmonary symptoms:.
8'. Prospective and cross-sectional analyses of data reveal
that pipe and cigar smokers have higher. mortality rates from chronic
bronchi'.tisand.emphysema.than doo nonsmokers, but.lower rates thann
thosee ofcigaret.te smokers.. Pipe and cigar smokershave a higher
prevalence of respiratory symptoms than do nonsmokers. The limited'
data on pulmonary functiion studies in pipe and cigar smokers are,
thus far, inconclusive.
9. Available data suggest that although air pollution may contribute
to the prevalence of symptomss of respiratory disease, cigarette smokingg
is far more.important in producing respiratory d'isease. Cigarette
smoking and,air pollution may interact to produce higher rates of
pulmonary disease than are seen with'either factor alone.
10. Certain occupational exposures result in an increased incidence
of COPD',.but the relationship is not as strong asfor cigarette smoking.
The combination off certain.occupational hazards and.ciga!re.ttesmokin.g
has been observed,,in many studies, to result iniadditive effects.
on morbidity from:COPD. Exposures too cotton fiber, asbestos, an.dd
coal dust, in particular, appear to act in concert with.cigarette
smoking.in.the development.of'pulmonary disease. The role cigarette
smoking plays in the development of coal workers' pneumoconiosis is
unclear at present.
11.. A genetically determined protease-deficiency (alphal antitrypsinn
deficiency), inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, is,found as
a homozygous deficiency in approximately 1/3,600 people,and as a heterozy-
gous deficiency i:n approximately5,to,8'percent of the population.
Dhosewith; the:homozygo.us-defi.ciency have an increased prevalence
off pulmonaryy emphysema. it iss not clear whether cigarette smoking
C
iss an fmportant contributor to the premature development of emphysema (,,,~
in people with the homozyg.ous:orheterozygous deficiency states. ~'
It iss alsoo unknown whether nonsmoking heterozygotes are at a greater Q"t+
riskk of deve.loping,g emphysema than nonsmokers or smokers:with normal O.
alphal-antitrypsin activity. O
11ln these studies, the degree of the relationshipbetwe.en smoking
and impairedd pulmonary function was found to be dependent on thesensitivi'ty
of the particular pulmonary function.test utilized todeiect pulmonary
obstruc:tiion and/or small airways disease, the age, sex, occupation,
place of residence, generalistate of health, and intensity of the
smoking habit of the population.examined.

The.Interactions Between Cigarette Smoking,
and the Genetic Sus.ceptibilityto the Development of COPD
Mittman, et al. (BP'6'4, 114, 241) reported on the interaction
between.cigarette smoking and', the genetic susceptibility to d'evelopment
of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (the alphal-antitrypsin deficiency
state). These authors described the polymorphic (multiple gene)system
of protease inhibition (Pi) by alphaL-antiitrypsin (AeYT), and listed,
some of the partial and severe deficiency states of this enzyme system.
In a series of 170: consecutive patients with a diagnosis of, COPD admitted
to the City of Hope Medical Center who had' no previously known history
of AIS:T deficiency, 40 patients (24 percent). demonstratedlsome type
of AltT deficiency. This was a significantly higher percentage than
was found in a control group of the Mbrwegiian population, which is
known to~have a high incidence of'this enzyme deficiency (P <:.©0!1).
The lifetjme cigarette consumption of the population of patients with
emphysema who had some degreG of AAT deficiency was significantly
less than those emphysema patients with~a normal phenotype (PiMM)
(P <.05) (figure 6),, suggesting a possible interaction between smoking
and the.genetic abnormality. The data imply that a greater degree
of exposure to tobacco was required to produce emphysema,in those.
patients who did,not.have agenetic predisposition than.in: those with
the genetic defect.. The authors concluded that any degree of AAT
deficiency makes an individual more susceptible to the effects of
smok.ing.Thesame authors have also examine& 144peoplewith.par.tial
AAT deficiencies who were apparently healthy and compared them with
100 controls matched for age, sex,, and smoking,history (BP 64). They
found that 25' of the 62 smokers with partial k4T deficiency (40 percent))
had abnormaIlitiess of. pulmonary function tests suggestiveofe obstruction.,,
while 7 of 47 smokers in the control group (15 percent) demonstratedi
such abnormalities. This difference wasstatistically significant
(P <.05).
99

12. . Data.from most studies implicate cigarette smoking:as an
important factor in.Increasing:the risk of dev:eloping,pos:t-aperativepulmonaty complicatiorns.
13. Some data suggest that cigarette smoking may increase th.e
risk of development of spontaneous pneumothorax.
14.Da:ta:fromp:athologic and autopsy studiess have demonstrated
a dose-responseeffec.te of cigarettesmoking.on the severity of. emphysema;.
pipe and cigar.smokersh.ave.degrees o.fanphysema intermediate between
those of nonsmokersand cigarette smokers:.
15. Goblet cell density and d3s.tention., alveolar septal rupture,
thickened bronchial.epithel.ium:,l andimucous gland hypertrophy have been shown at autopsy to be
more common in cigarette smokers than
in nonsmokers.
16. Experimental data on.humans.have demonstrated that inhalation
of cigarettee smoke results in acute impai{ment of certaimparameters
of.pu]monaryfunction.. In humans, overall pulmonary clearanae,,, ciliary
function., and alveolar macrophage function have been found to be impaired
in smokers compared to nonsmokers.. Some recent data suggest that
acute heavy cigarette smoking with deep inhalation may result in increased
pulmonary clearance.
1'7. Inanimal studies in vivo and in vitro exposures to whole
cigarette smoke (C[45) and several of its components have resulted
in.impairment.in overaQl pulmonary clearance, ciliary function, and!
alveolar macrophage functibn..
18. Experimental data on humans and animals presented in the
past suggestt that cigarette smoke may impair the:function.ofthepulmona~ry
surfactant system.
Most of the studies reviewed in the last year confirmed but did
not extendthe knowledge of the.relationship between cigarette smokingg
and'bronchopulmonary disease. L1listing of these studies appears
in a separate.section of the Supplemental Bibliography. A number
of studies extende&the knowledge of the association between ci~garettee
smoking.g and bronchopuLmonary disease, and.several studiess presented
data which wereei'ther.partially or wholly inconsistent with.the knownn
relationships; these two types of s.tudies.are.reviewed'below.

Smoking and Mucous Gland Abnormalities
In~an.autopny series in Glasgow of 149 mem and women with known
smoking,histories,, Scott.(BP 95) stud'ied.the degree of mucous gland
hypertrophyus'.ing theReidlind'ex and point counting technique. He
found'.that the mean Reid.index was significantly greater in smokers
tharn nonsmokers (P <.01) and that fewer smokershad normal Reid indices
than nonsmo&ers(p'=.02),. Although more smokers had! an abnormally
high.Reid indexcomparedlto nonsmokers, the.difference was not statistically
significant. In this autopsy series,, the R'eid!index was found to
be higher in young subjects; also men were noted to have a significantly
higher index than women (P<.05).. ' ` .
Abnormalities of the Small Airways
Maasub.a and Thurlbeek.(BF'97), in a study of posturortem lung
specimens, found that in.patients with chronic bronchitis without
emphysema who.died.ofnonrespiratorycauses,,there'was significant
narrowing of smaLl.adirways compared to patients without.either chronic
bronchitis or emphysema, as measured by the smaller average diameter
of the small airways(P'<.001).. These patients had an excess of airways
with 0..2'2 to.0:.6mmi. internal diameterr and a deficit of adrwayswith
an internal diameter of 0.6 to 1.g.mm. (figure 11). In addition,.
these workers observed more mucusin,the airways of the patients with
chronic bronchitis without emphysema than in those patients without
either disease. The authors concluded that both small airway narrowing
and mucus plugging constitute the maj;or morphologic lesions corresponding
to the functional abnormalities of small airways seen in patients
withch.ronic bronchitis.
. .

(spirometry and CO diffusion) had a higher mean lifetime. consumption
of cigarettes than men with,normal pulmonary function tests(p'<.A'.5).;
however,: the:mean.age of the abnormal group was, 55 yearsgreater than
that.of the norms.l group.. The women with abnormall.values of pulmonary
function tests smoked.more than those with normal values (14.44 vs.
9.72'pack years),, but the difference was not statistically significant.
The group of women wjith abnormal values was also slightly older than
the normal group (by 1.12 years).
Occupationa:l Diseases and smoking.
Byssinosis
Kilburn, et a1.(BP' 166) reported on the prevalence of chronic
bronchitis in wool and cotton.mill workers in North Carolina. These
investigators found that in women the combination of cigarette smoking
and cotton dust exposure was associated with a marked increase' in.
the prevalence of chronic bronchitis (figure 7). Of the nonsmoking
nonexposed employees, less than I percent had chronic bronchitis.
Cotton dust exposure and cigarette smoking,alone were associated'.with
prevalence rates of 8'percent and 13'.per.cent, respeetively., Both
exposures in combination resulted in a prevalence rate for chronic
bronchitis of'27 percent. For inen, a synergistic effect was demonstrated
(figure 8), but it was not as striking as that forr women. The.authors
suggested that the.dtiffzrences in prevalence of chronic bronchitis
between men and women, and the differencesin.the effects of the two
n.oxiousexposuwr.ess in combination.may have been due to, the fact that
men were moreh:eaviEyexposede to bothcotton dust andcigarette smoke
than.women.

Brooks and Waller (BP'42)',,in a study of 2,,703 people attending,

were.demonstrated for the younger than 45 age groups. The authors
pointedi out a ntunher of bia's.eswhichlimdt the.conclusions which may
be drawn from these d'ata..
Coleman, et al. (BP192) investigated the.maximal oxygen consumption
(physica~l work capacity); of 78 members of the Texas Tech. University
faculty and.found no difference in~this value between smokers andd
nonsmokers. However,.astheauthorspointed omt,., the mean age of
the smokers: wass.even yearss less than. that o.f the nonsmoker:s, andd
the daily activity level ofth~e smokers was also g.reater: than that
of the nonsmokers... The' combination of these two effects may havepartially accounted for. thelack
of difference.in maximal physical
work.capacity between the smokers and nonsmokers in this study population.
In a cross-s,ectional study of men and women fromm th.e Western.
Hlghlands: District.and Trobriand Islands in.New Guinea, Woolcock
et al. (BP9'3)'fo.und, a greater decrease.of FVC.,, FEV1,.and PEF with~
age in men who smoked', compared to nonsmokers'(no P value reported).
No such differences were found'for women for FEVl and, PEF. The authorsstated that most of the
smokers used home-grown: tobacco smoked as
cigars.
Woolcock, et al. (BP 2'40) also reported that in this same.group
of New Guineans smoking.g wasnot strongly associated with.coughh on
a.single.examination in.theWestern Highlands District (WHD) population,,
but wass strongly associated in the. Trobriand Islands. (TI) population...
The authors stated, though,, that the TIpopulation smoked westernn
cigarettes, whereas the WHDpopulation smoked predominantly home-grown
tobacco rolled' in newspaper.,

Chronic,Bronchitis and Pulmonary Symptoms
in Cement and!RubfiberIndustry Workers
In a cross-sectional study of 847 cement workers in Yugoslavia,
KalaciE ($P 54 55) found that nonsmokers had a higher prevalence
of. cough.,, sputum pr.od'uction, exertional dyspnea and chronic bronchitis
than controls with other occupations., Within the group of cement
workers, cigarette smokers had higher prevalence rates of cough., sputum
production, exertional dyspnea wheezing, and chronic bronchitis than
nonsmokers regardless of' th,e number of years of exposure in; the cement
plants. No significant differences in FVC or FEV% were observed between
cigarette smoking andinonsmoking, cement workers:.
Osman, et al. (BP 230) studied 230 rubber iindustry employees
in Egypt andfound a higher prevalencee of upper.respiratory tract
irritation acute bronchitis, and chronic bronchitis in smokers; compared
to nonsmokers (NS). There was a lower prevalence of these three conditions
among control smokers compared with smokers exposed to these industrial
fumes, thereby suggesting a synergistic action of cigarette consumption
and exposure to rubber industry fumes.

Spain, et al.(BP 1]13)) evaluated'the degree of emphysema in whole
lung mountss of134 victims of accidents,., suidice, homicid'e, or sudden
coronary death.autopsiedat theoffice.of the Medical Examiner of
Westchester County (85men and149 women),.. Degree of emphysema.was
graded.from 0 to 100., In men, 3'' of 30 nonsmokers had grades of'20
or higher (10 percent), while 16' of 41 heavysmokers had grades of
200 orr higher (39,percent)!. Thiss difference.was.significant (P'<.01).
The highest grade which the nonsmokers reached was 20, whereas several
of'the.heavy smokers reached.gFades of' 50 (precise data not given).
Themean..agese of' the nonsmokers, light smokers, and'heavy smokers
with grades 20 or greater were.66, 62', and 52, respectively. The
mean grade of emphysema in all the heavy smokers was 1'4,, compared

These authors also measuredpulmonary fungtion in this cohort
of policemen (BP 160) and found.correlations between impairment of
FEV1 and lifetime,cigarette smoking for all the men (P <.00.1). S!tatistiically
significant correlations between impairment of flow volume relationships
at 50'0 and 25 percent,lung volume and current cigarette consumption
(P <.05 and <001), and lifetime cigarette consumption (P <.01 and
<.001) were found for the outskirt station officers, but not for the
traffic officers,, although the heavier smokers.amongthem did demonstrate
impairment of these parameters comparred.to the nonsmokers and ex-smokers.
The data also revealed that'th.e heavier smokers with the longest exposure
to:traffic had the greatest.impairme.nt of flo.a-volumerelations.hips
at 50. percent (and,25lpercent) vital capacity again suggesting the
synergistic:action.ofc air pollution andl cigarette smoking in producing
ob.structive.pu.lmonary disease. The Relationship Betcueen Cigarette
Smoking.and Small Airways Disease
The role of small airwaysdiseas.e in the patthogenesisof COPD
has comeunder closescrutiny in recent years. Resu.ltsfrom s.everall
s.tudiess indicate that.th:e resistancee of airwaysl'essthan 2mm.2 internal
diameter contributes little to the total measurable pulmonary resistance,
and that considerableobs.truction of.f these small airways may be present
before changes in theto:tal pulmonary resistance are recorded (BP10):.
Several techniquess have been developed to detect the presence of small
a.irways.disease, but.some of 'th.ese.are technically difficult, expensive
and impractical for large-scale screening. The measurement off dynamic
compliance was on.e ofthe first techniques used to demonstrate disease
of the small airways (BP 143). Patients with small airways disease
demonstrate frequency dependent decreases'in dynamic compliance compared
to controls. More recently, the measurement of closing volume (CU)
has been used as a technically easier and less expensive method for
the assessment of small airways.function. The theoretical basis of
these:methods in the assessment of small airways disease is described
in many recent publications (BP 8, 10', 12, 31, 61,, 105, 116, 119
143 144,, 147, 150, 151,, 15:3', 155, 177, 206). it is currently unclear
whether those subjects withh evidence of small airways disease are
particularly susceptibleto:th~e development of clinically identifiable
forms. of COPD. a37G4058
IHcCarthy et al. (BP 8)') measured closing volumesin.112 subjects
by the single-breath argon gas:bolusmethod..Clos.ing,volume increased
inn a.linear..fashion with respect to age.Of the 66 nonsmokers.,: no:
subjiects.had closing volumes greater or less than 2 SDs.from the mean.
normal values,, whereas 266 of 39 cigarette smokers (7 smokers were
excluded because of grossly abnormal ventilation distribution as measured
by the argon.technique) had closing volumes.greater than.2lSDs. abovee
the mean (figure 2'.)... This diffierence in.closing vol[m e.washi'ghlysignificant. (P'<.,001). and

of 62'and'90, living in Edinburgh and registered with a practicing
physician,, Milne and williamson (BP19', 35) reported that over 73
percent of the women hadinever smoked compared with 7.9 percent of
the men; 62 percent of the men were current smokers (71 percent of
wham ilnhaled):, while only 18'percent of the women werecurrent smokers
(50 percent inhalers). In both men and women, a higher percentage
of smokers had persistent coagh and sputum production than nonsmok.ers(P <.001 for men and
P<..Ol.for women), li.ut.twice the proportion of
male smokers had these symptoms than women smokers. A dbse-response
relationship was. demonstrated, since a.higher percentage of heavy
smokers had these symptoms than lighter smokers(P<.01). In men,.
12.4 percent of the'smokers had persistent cough, sputum and a recent
chest illness; none of the nonsmokers had this combination.. For men,
significant differences in histories of wheezing and dyspneawere
found between smokers and nonsmokers.For women, a significant difference
between smokers and nonsmokers was demonstratedionly for wheezing
(P <.05). The authors found that the FEU% (NEV/VC) was below 60 in
32'percent of the men who smoked compared to 6.7 percent of the nonsmokers
(P'<.05).For women the figures were 9.4 percent and 3.9 percent.
This differencewase not statisticayly significant.
In a cross-sectional study of 300 men and'women aged'65 and over
in Glasgow Scotland, Caird'and Akhtar (BP 44) found that chronic
bronchitis in women was reported by 11 percent of the nonsmokers,
13 percent of the light smokers., and by 50 percent.ofthe heavy smokers..
For men,. a d'ose-response relation was shown for lightt and h.eavysmokers,:y but the small
nvmb.ersof nonsmokers (5' no.nsmokers; 2 with¢hronic
bronchitis): . limit the conclusions which can.be.drawn from the data.
In a.retrospective study of 5,348 men aged 40. and over who were
current smokers, Rimington (BP' 109)') examined the relationship between
the pattern of smoking and the prevalence of chronic bronchitis.
lie foundlthat for eachh level of daily consumption.of cigarettes, chronic
bronchitis was more prevalent among those smokers who kept the.cigarette
in their mouths dur.ing:.the entire.per:iod of smoking (,'°droopers") than
among those smokers who removed the cigarette from.th.eir mouths between
puffs (normals) (table1). For: all levels of consumption, there wasa significantly higher prevalence
of chronic bronchitis among droopers
tha.n among normal smokers (P' <.001). When these values were age-standardized,
(thiss was: necessary tiecause there.was both a higher incidence of bronchitiss
and a higher percentage of droopers in men over 60: yearsof age),.
there wass still a.high:er prevalence of chronie.bronchitis amongthe
droopers than among the.normals, but the.sta~ti'stical.signif.ican:ceof this difference was not

Smoking and Post-Operative Complications
Laszlo, et al. (BP 199) studied the incidence of post-operative
pulmonary complications in 52 bronchitic and 88 nonbronchitic patients
undergoing elective surgery in London. They found:that a significantly
higher percentage of, current nonbronchitic smokers (53 percent) developed
post-operative pulmonary complications than.nonbrpnchitic nonsmokers
(22 percent) (P'<.02)'. In patients with~no~history of chronic'bronchitis,
there was a dose-response gradient of post-operative bronchitis and/or
pneumonia from nonsmokers through ex-, light, and heavy smokers.
The presence of bronchitis did not seem to influence the effects of
smoking;: thebronchiticand'nornbronchitic sankers hadi an equal.incidlence
of'pulmonary complications. Of the six cases of severe post-operative
bronchitis, five occurred in smokers. The authors noted that the

The Effect of Smoking
on the Development of Bullous Disease of'the Lun s
Stoloff' and Victor (BP'25). revieweil 44,887 outpatient photo f luorograms
seen in the Philadelphia Central Mass X-ray Unit from 1969 to 1970,
and found',59: men and one woman witli bullous di'wease of tfle lung.
Smoktng information was availab.le',on 51 of the.men. There w:er.eno
nonsmokers among the 51 cases (P <.,00.L). In.nonwhiteand white'men
under age'45 and in nonwhites greater than 45 years old the rates
of this disease increased for each.progressively higher level of daily
cigarette.consannption (table' 4). When men without known.possiblen or probable, occupational
hazards were studied, dose-response relationships
were again demonstrated in the.nonwhite population., inclusive of alll
agee groups (table 5). The absence of dose-respons.e relations in whites
older than 45 may be at least partially explained,by the small numbers
of cases of bu]llous disease of the lung found in whites (19 of the.
51 cases). The authors stated'.that the data °are.consistent with',
the hypothesis that eigarette smoke is capable of causing alveolar
septal rupture..." and, hence, bullous disease of the lung.

Goldstein, et al. (BP 90),reported.on.the effects of liow.level
NOZ exposure on bactericidal activity of the mouse lung. 11heyfirst
infected mice with: radioactively labelled Staphylococcus; aureus and'
then exposed them to different concentrations of NOZ for 4 hours.
The authors then measured pulmonary radioactivity and bacterial concentra-
tions. They found that.at concentrations of 7, 9.2, and'.14,.8 p.p.m.
N02 the level of radioactivity was unchanged but bacterial counts
were greater in the N02-exposed mi.ce.(P' <,05) and they concluded
that the bactericidal activity of the N02-exposed animals wass signif.icantlyless than that of
control animals at these concentrations of NOZ.
In a series of experiments where mice.were first exposed to~1.0, 2.3',.,
and 6.6 p.p.m. N02 for 17 hours and then infected with the labelled
Staphylococcus aureus, pulmonary bactericidal activity was decreased
in the mice exposed to the latter two concentrations of NOZ (P' <.05
and P'<.,,01).. In $..oth~setss of experiments, thepfiysical removal rates
of bacteria by the pulmonary tree (as measured by the degree of remaining
radioactive label)~ was not influenced by NO'.2. Thesee experiments suggest
that the retardation of'pulmonary bactericidal activity was due to
dysfunction.of the: cellular elements.of.thepulmonary defense mechanism.

SMerman.,. et al., (BP'2'37)) conducted a study in Detroit on 489
working men and women,, among whom 459'were employed in the autoo industry.
All subjects were referred to one physician for evaluation for workmen's
compensation, The authors concluded that their data challenged "the
traditional view (held) by...much of the,medical profession that workers'
lung and! heart diseases are.largely caused by cigarettes ratherr than
byworkplacepoiisons." Thes.ee investigators studied various occupationall
exposures.within the auto industry and found.that both~ in exposed
and.unexposed.working populations approximately the samepercentag,esof cigarette smokers and
nonsmokers suffered from bronchitis, emphysema,.
and heart disease.: Imprecise smoking his:toriess and the absence off
adjustment for several potentially confounding variables limit the
conclusions which can be drawn from, these data..
T,'he: Effects of Smoking
on Pulmonary,Function
in Patients with COPD
In a retrospective study of 41 hospitalized cigarette smokers
with aa diagnosis ofpulmona~ry emphysema,: Lepine and Nfyre(BP 15) found
dose-response relationships between.number of daily cigarettes smokedd
andd years of. dyspnea, years of cough and impairment of the maximum

In a retrospective analysis ofPFTs:of 140patients0 with emphysema,,

between the severity of impairment of pulmonary function.testsand
the amount or duration of cigarette smoking..

SUMMARY OF' RECENT. NON-NEOPLAS'LIC BRONCHOPIJLMONARY'
FINDINGB
1. Results from epidemiologic s.tudieson eld!erly populations
demonstrate an increased prevalence of respiratory symptomss
and impairment of pulmonary function among smokers of both
sexes.s compared'tod nonsmokers.
2. Data from several recent studies indicate that standard
pulmornaryfunction: tests and physical work capacity are impaired
in apgarently healthy smokers compared to:nonsmokers.,
3. Recent epidemiologi';c data suggest that smokers who retain the
cigarette in their mouths:cnntinuously while smoking (droopers)
have a higher prevalence of. chronic bronchitis than those
smokers who remove the.cigarette from.their mouths between
puffs.,
4. Arecent epidemiologic study confirms the observation that
cigarette smoke and air pollution act synergistically in the
development of symptoms of respiratory disease.
5. Results from several recent studies indicate.that cigarette
smokers have a higher prevalence of.functional abnormalities
of the small airways than.do nonsmokers.
6. Results from:arecent study suggest that.although aa history
of lower:respiratory diseas.easan infant.isrelated to thee
prevalence of cough at age 20, cigarette smoking isa.far
more important factorinr the d'evelopment.ofcough in young
adulthood.,
7'. Data from a major retrospective study indicate that cigarette
smoking is closely related to the development of bullous disease
of the 1ung.,
6'. Experimental studies in animals have shown that exposure to
nitrogen dioxide, a eonstituent'of the.vapor phase.ofr cigarette
smoke,.results in emphysema-likee changes.in the.pulmonary
parenchyma, diminished mucociliary cliearance, and impairment
of bactericidal activity of. alveolar macrophages.
Data from.excperimental studies have demonstrated that.the
filtered gas phase.of tobacco smoke may effect changes.in
pulmonary alveolar macrophage metabolismthrough inhibition
of the glyco3ytic pathway cigarette smoke may also impair
oxygen consumption and pinocytic activity of pulmonary
alveolar macrophages..

Snider, et.al. ($Y 218)') exposed rats to0.1 percent cadmium chloride
solution by aerosol, and were able to demonstrate centrilobular emphysema
in theseanimalis after 100 days.Since cadmium hass been found in cigarette
smoke,, and smokersand'patientswith emphysema havebeene shown to
have elevated tissue levelsofcadmiums at postmortem further s.tud'ies.s

exposed to 1 percent of CdCl2 developed a.severe hemorrhagic necrotizing.
chemical pneumonia, and the lower dose of CdC12 also elicited a hemorrhagic.
response, aSthoughno evidence of such an,inflammatory response was
evident 10 days post-exposure.
CYTOLOGIC AND IHISTOLOGICSTUDIES
Experimental evidence indicates that cigarette.smoke can impair
the function of pulmonary alveolar macropbages (BP 24). Pulmonary
macrophages appear to.beflhe primary defense against bacterial°invasion
of the pulmonary parenchyma and also serve to remove particulate contami-
nants from inspired'. air.. In recent experimental work.,. Powell and
Green (BP 24) investigated the mechanism.of actionn of cigarette smoke on macrophage function. By
using his.tochemical staining techniques,
these workers found!that the filtered gas phase of.cigarette smoke
(FGP) inhibited aldehyde dehydrogenase activity in rabbit pulmonary
alveoliar.macrophag.es (PAMs). This effect of FGP'was inhibited by
prior addition of cysteine to the medium. Th.e loss: of enzyme activity
correlated'withthe Lossofpacrophagephagocytic function (which
wass also.prevented by the.prior,ad'dition.of cysteime). No other enzyme
was inhibited by cigarette smoke (except for C6PD in those preparations
of cells which adhered:.togiass)1. Byusing crystalline glycera.ldehyde3-pho.sphate dehydrogenase,
the authorsdemonstratedl that FGP~ inhibitedl
activity of this enzyme, and the degree of inhibition was directly
related to:the period.ofincubation..(most of the inhibition occurringg
within thefirst.five..minutes).. Dbisenzymewass not inhibited by FGP in the presence
of'cysteine.When enzyme activity was assayed
in cell preparations, glycerald'ehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity
was.reduced by FGP. This inhibition was dose-related to FGP'. FGP
didlnot influence G6PDorLIDH.activity in the pulmonary alveolar macrophages.
These experiments suggest that FGP inhibited the glycolytic pathway

Westergaard and Olsen (BP 173) studied ciliary activity in biopsy
specimens from the larynx and carina in 20 patients and found that
there was no ciliary activity in epithelial cells from~these sites
in.the entire:g;roup of 16 moderate and heavy smokers, while in 3 nonsmokers
and ]i cigar smoker normal ciliary activity was observed.
Studies in Animal's
Binns and Clark (BP'66) described a.new experimental model for
testing the short- and long-term effects of cigarette smoke on pulmonary
physiology. By using male cynomolgus.monkeys which were fitted with
a specially designed smoking:g device, these authorss demonstratedd marked
increases in total pulmonary resistance in animals smoking approximately
12' cigarettes per day, for 5' days per.week. These changes stabilized
at about 20 weeks of exposure and extended througfi the 6-month test.
period. The changes in pulmonary resistance were statistically significant
(P <.001),. After.6 months, no changes. in tidal volume, respiratory
rate, or dynamic compliance were noted. Histologic sections of lungs:
from smoking,monkeys showed!clumping of pulmonary alveolar macrophages
containing pigmented granules and foamy cytoplasm., These nonspecific
cytologic changes have been observed in other animals. exposed to cigarette
smoke.,
Previous editions of this report (1972 197'3)' have described
experimental.l evidencee concerning.the production.of:emphysematousehanges
in rat.and guinea pig: lungs by exposure to nitrogen dioxide (N02),
one of the gaseous componentsf of cigarette smoke. Freeman, et al.
(BP 67) described experiments whereby low (10' to.L5 p.p.m.), intermittent
dosess of'.NO2. administered over the normal life span of rats resulted
in more severe changes.of the pulmoriary parenchyma than those previously
reported,;; these changes included fibroblastic proliferation,, epithelial
hypertrophy, loss of cilia in.the respiratory bronchi'.oles, fibrosiss
of alveolar ducts, destruction of alveolar walls, and enlargement
of alveolar air spaces. These authors calculated a129 percent loss,
of ventilatory surface in theNO~-exposed.rats,. occurring in a p.anlobularr
diistribution.. The lungs of the N02-exposed rats had greater residual
vo:lumes than the controls,, and these rats.s suffered fr:om hypoxemia,,
hyp.ercarbia,., andiaeidosis.,, as.well as.a compensatory polycythemia.
Thus, by administering,lower doses: of N02 intermuttently survival
of these rats was prolonged,(compared with survival of rats receiving
continuousN02) and the development of a.full-blown picture of emphysema
similar to that.seen in humans was produced. The relative role of
NO2 in the causation of emphysema in humans is still unknown.
In another series off experiments,. Giordano and Marrow (,HP 68)
studied mucocilliary clearance rates in f avale rats exposed continuously
tolowo dosesof N0i2. (6 p..p.m.) over a per:iod'of: 6 weeks. They found
a significantly decreased rate of clearance in rats exposed to N02
than in nonexposed!rats (P <.02). In those animals with a decrease,
in mucociliary activity, the effect of N02 was reversible within.7
days following this:long-term,low dose exposure.

Using simultaneous h.eliiumbolius and: nitrogen dilution techniqueson:9 subjects, Linnn.a:nd Hackney
(BP170), showed that with the He
method., none of 4 nonsmokers had mean CV/'VC'percent greater than 15.9,
whereas both the current cigarette smokers and the.oneex-smoker had
CW/VC% greater than 21.3'. The one pipe smoker had a ratio of 18.9.
With the nitrogen dilution technique the same pattern of abnormalities
of' th.e.CV/VG ratioin.this groupp off subjects wass demonstrated. The
highest CV/VC`/, among t}ie.nonsmo.kers was 17.4, and the.lowest:amongthe current, ex-, and pipe
smokers was 18.0.
Reintjes, et al.. (BP 18'): studied the acute effects of smoking,
one cigarette on large airway resistance in a group of 30' young healthy
male volunteers (15 smokers'and 15'non and ex-smokers)I, and found
that immediately after the smoking of one nonfilter cigarette there
was a significant increase in mean airway resistance for both smokers
and.nonsmokers (P <.001). The FEV% did not vary after the smoking,
of the cigarette in either group of'volun'teers.
Da Silva and Hamosh (BP 110) reported on pulmonary function tests
performed on 21 volunteers before and after smoking one nonfilter
cigarette and found that total airway resistance (Raw) was significantly
increased (p'<.001) and M50, was significantl'y d'ecreased after smoking,
(P <.001)..Other measurements,,including,those used to assess smalil
airways function, showed no~sdgnificant ehangesfrom the.con.troh to
the post-smoking states.
Stone, et al. (BP'210) conducYe&experiments on 19 volunteers.,4 of whom.had.chron:i.c bronchitis.
There were:11 cigarette smokersand 8'.nonsmokers. These.authors.foundthat thee infusion of
isoproterenoli
increas:ed.speci'fic airwayco..nductance(SGaw) equally in smokers.,, nonsmokers,.
and~patients.wiith chronic bronchitis. Likewise.,., infusion.ofpropranololn decreased' SGaw equally
in.all.these groups of subjects. Alpha-adrenergic
stimulation and blockadehad'no.effeck on SGaw in anyof theexperimenta~l
groups.
Inan.experimental study evaluating pulmonary clearance in 79
elderlysubjects., Thomson.andl Pavia (BP 5fi),, utiliz.ing,Tc99m- labelled
pol'ysterene par.ticles.of 5pm.,.found no statistically significant
difference in pulmonary (mucociliary) clearance of.these particlesbetween smokers and.nonsmokers
with:and without evidence of obstructive
and res:trictive.pullmonary disease. The volume of inha.lediparticleswas controlled in this group of
e_speriments. There was. a slight diminution
in mucociliary clearance of the healthy smokers compared to thenonsmokers.
The group of subjects with impaired.pulmonary function had':higher
clearance rates than the normals, probably owing: to the greater deposition
of particles nearer the mouth. Among the subjects with subnormal
