This~ eha.pter, is a review of' the epidemiological, pathological, and
esperimental data: on the health conseqpences of smoking cigars! and'~
I)ipes, alone, together, and in various combinations with cigarettes.
Previous reviews on the health consequences of'~ smoking have dealt
primarilyy with cigarette smoking. Although some of the material on
pipes:and cigars presented in this chapter has been, presented in previ-
ous reports of'the Surgeon General, this is the first attempt to summa-
rize what isInown about the health effects,ofpipe and, cigarsmoking:,
Since the use of pipes and cigars is limited almost exclusively to men
in the: United States; only data on, men are included in this review..
The influence of pipe and cig~r smoking on health~ is determined
byexaminiRrgtheoverall and specific, mortalityandi morbidiityeg-perienced by users of these forms of
tobacco compared to: nonsmokers.
Epidemilogical evidence suggests that individuals who limit their
smoking to only pipes or cigars have overall mortality rates that are
slightly higher than nonsmokers. For certain specific causes of deathyhowever pipe andl cigar
smokers experience mortality rates that are
as great as or, exceed those e$perienced! by cigarette smokers. Thiss
analysis becomes more complea when combinations of smoking forms
ar~e, examinedL Theoveral2 rnortalityrates ofl thosew1v) smoke pipes,
cigars,, or both in combination with cigarettes appear to be inter-
mediate between the high mortality rates of' cigarette smokers and'
the lower rates of those who smoke only pipes or cigars. This might
seem to suggest that smoking pipes or cigars in combination with ciga-
rettes diminishes the harmful eff'ects of cigarette smoking. However,
an analyTsis of mortality associated vr ith smoking combinations of ciga-
rettes, pipes, and cigars should be standardi'zedl for the level of con,
sumption of each of' the prodhzcts smoked in terms' of the amount
smoked, duration of smoking, and the depth and degree of inhalation.
f' or examplecigar smokers who also smoke a pack of cigarettes a day
might be egpectedito have mortality rates somewhat higher than those
who smoke only cigaret'tiesat the level of apack a d'ayassumingthat,
both groups smoke their cigarettes in the same way. Mixed smokers',
who inhale pipe or cigar smoke in ai manner similar to the way they
smoke cigarettes might bee expected to have: higher mortality rates
than mixed smokers who do1 not inhale their cigars and pipes and also
1z1
1

resist inhaling their cigarettes. ~,~nf!ortunately, little of the published
material on~ mixed cigarette, pipe, and cigar smoking contains, these
types of'analyses or controls:A paradox seems to: exist between the mortality rates of ex-smokers
of pipes~and cigars and ex-smokers of cigarett'es. Ex-cigarette smokers
experience a relative decline in overall and certain specific causes of
mortality following cessation. This decline is important but indirect
evidence that cigarette smoking is a ma jor cause of the elevat'ed mor-
tality rates experienced by current cigarette : smokers. In contrast to
this finding several prospective epidem.iological investigationsy
Hammond and'H'orn (I0), Best (9)~Kahn ('50), and H'ammond! (38),
have; reported higher death rates for ex-pipe and ex-cigar smokers
than for current pipe and cigar smokers.. This phenomenon was ana-
lyzedl by Hammond and Garfinkel (3J). The development of ill healthh
often results in a cigarette smoker giving up the habit, reducing his
daily: tobacco consumption, switching, to pipes or cigars; or choosing
a cigarette lbw in tar and nicotline. In many instances, a~ smoking-
related disease is the cause of ill health. Thus, the group of ex-smokers
includes some people who.are illl from smoking-related diseases, and
d'eath; rates anehigh among personsin:ill health.As' a result ex-cigarette smokers initially have
higher overalll and
specific mortality rates than! continuing cigarette smokers, but be-
cause of the relative d'ecrease in mortality that occurs in those who
quit smoking for reasons other than ill health, andl because of the
dwindling number of i11i ex-smokers, a relative: decrease in mortality
is observed (within a few years) following cessation of' cigarette
smoking. The beneficial effects of cessation «ouldi be obvious sooner
were it not for the high mortality rates of those who quit smoking
for reasons of illness. A similar principle operates for es-pipe and ex-
cigar smokers, but because of't!he lower initial risk of smoking these
forms! and thereforethe:smaller margin, of benefi't' following cessationythe effect producedl by the
ill ex-smokers creates a larger and more
persistent impact on the mortality rates than is seen in cigarette
smoking.
For the above reasons a bias is introduced into the mortality rates
of current smokers and!es-smokers of pipes and cigars,,so that a more
accurate pi'cture of' mortality might be obtained' by combining the
ex-smokers with tlie current smokers and looking, at the: resultant
mortality experience.
Because of' a lack of data that would allow a precise analysis of
mortality among ex-pipe and' ex-cigar smokers, a detailed analysis
of'these groups could not be undertaken in this review.
For each specific cause of' death, tables have been prepared which
summarize the mortality and relative risk ratios reported in the major

prospecti~--e and retrospective studies which contained' informationn
about pipe and cigar smokers. The smoking categories used include:
cigar only, pipe only, total pipe and cigar, cigarette only, and mixed.
The total pipe and cigar category includes: those who smoke pipes
only, cigars only;, and~ pipes and cigars. The mixed category includes :
those who smoke cigarettes and cigars; cigarettes and pipes; and
cigarettes; pipes, and cigars. 'Mortality and relative risk ratios were
calculated relative to nonsmokers.
The Prevalence of Pipe,, Cigar, and Cigarette Usage:
The prevalence of pipe cigar, and cigarette smoking in the United
States was estimated by the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and
Health from~ population surveys conducted in 19641, 1966;,and 1970 (98;
99; 100). In each survey, about 2,500 intervieavs were conducted on a
national probabilitysamp16 stratified bytyype of populationandl
beographic area. The use of'these products among adult's aged' 21 and
older is summarized in tables 1 and 2: The prevalence of pipe, cigar,
and cigarette smoking in Great Britain for the years 1965, 1968i and

The U.S+ Government has defined tobacco products for tax pur-
poses. Cigarettes are definedl as "(1) Any roll of' tobacco wrapped in
paper or in any substance not containing tobaccot and (12) any roll of
tobacco wrapped in any substance containing tobacco which, because
of its appearance, the type of tobacco used in the filleror, its packaging
and labeling, is likely to be offered to or purchased by, consumers as
a cigarette described in subparagraph Cigarettes are further
classified by size, but virtually all cigarettes sold in the United States
are "`small ci'garettes"' whichl by definition weigh "not more~ than 3'
pounds per thousand"' which is not more thani 1.361 grams per
cigarette (',96).
American brands of cigarettes contain blends of different grades of'
Virginia, Burley, Maryland, and' oriental tobaccos. Several varieties
of cigarette tobaccos are flue-cured. Ifn this process, tobacco leaves. are
curedl in closed barns where the temperature is progressively raised
over a period of several days. This results in "'color setting," fixing,
and dry~-ing, of the leaf. The most conspicuous change is the conversionn
of starch; into simpler sugars and suppression of oxidative reactions.
Flue-cured tobaccos produce an acidic smoke of light aroma: (35,,112);.
Cigars
r
Cigars have been defined' for tax purposes as:: "Any roll of tobacco
,vrapped in leaf tobacco or in any substance containing tobacco, (other
than any roll of tobacco which: is a cigarette w ithin the meaning of
subparagraph (2) of the definition for cigarette)"' (112). In order to
clarify t!he meaning of' "substance containing tobacco" the Treasury
d'epartment has stated that, "The wrapper must (1) contain a signi&
cant proportion of natural tobacco;, (2) be within the range of colors
normally found in natural leaf'tobacco; (3)': have some of the other
characteristics, of the tobaccos from which produced;e.g:,nicotine
content, pI-I,, taste,, and' aroma;, and (4)1 notbesochangedl in the
reconstitution process that it loses a11 the tobaeco: characteristics"
(102). Further, "To be: a cigar,thefilder, must besubstantial,'ly of'
tobaccos unlike those in ordinary cigarettes and must not have any
added flav.ori'ng which would cause the product to have the taste or
aroma generallyattributed to cigarettes. The fact that a product dioes
1i75

Cigars are also classified bysiae, "Smalll cigars"' weigh notl more
thani 3 pounds per thousandi and, "large cigars"' weigh more than 3
pounds per thousand. "Large cigars" are further divided intolseven
classes for tax purposes based on the retail price intended by the
manufacturer for such cigars (96).

tutedl cigar tobaccos have been used as wrapper, binder, or both. Cigars
are either hand4ol'led or machine made. Some brands of'smalli cigars

Pipe Tobaccos
The definition of pipe tobacco used by the LT.S. Government was
repealed in 11966 ' and there is no Federali tax on pipe tobaccos. The
mostpopular pipetokiaccos~ are made of Burley; however, many pipe
tobaccos are blends of different types of tobacco. A few contain a
significant proportion of midrib parts that' are crushed between rollers.
"Saucing" material, or casings containing licorice, sweetening agents,
sugars, and other flavoring materials are added to improve the flavor,
aroma, and smoke taste. These additives modify the characterist!ics
of smoke components (112)'..

cigarettes. The extent to whichi these changes may alter the health
consequences of smoking pipes and cigars can best be estimated by an
analysis of the potentially harmful chemical constitutents found in
the smoke of'these tobaccos; the tumorigenic activity of smoke conden-
sates in experimental animals, andi a review ofl the epidem.iological
data which has accumulated on the health effects of pipe and cigar
smoking..
Cliemi'cal Analysis of C:gar Smoke
Only a few studies have i been conducted that compare the chemical
constituents of cigar smoke with those found in cigarette smoke.
Hoffmann, et al. (43) compared the yields of several chemical com-
ronentls, in the, smokefrom ai pl'a7n 85 mm: cigarette,, two types of
cigars; and a pipe. The particulate matter, nicotine, benzo(a)pyrene,
and phenols were determined quantitatively in the smoke of' these
tobacco products: One: cigar tested was a 135'-mmi long 7.8-g.,, U.S''.-
madie cigar. The other was a handmade Havanai cigar 147 mm. long
weighing 8.6 g. The relative content of nicotine in the particulate
matter produced by the cigars was similar to that of the cigarette
tars. The benzo(a)pyrene and phenol concentrations in the cigar
condensate was two to three times greater than in cigarette "tar''" (itable
4). f£uhn, (58) compared the alkaloid and phenol content in conden-
sat!esfroman 80-mrn. Bright-blend cigarette sold comrnerciallyinAustria with, that obtained' from
103-mm. cigars. These were tested

andi phenol in the cigar smoke condensate were
essentially the same as in the cigarette condlensate, but pyridine values
were about 21/2 ti~meshicher in the cigar condensate.,
Campbell and, Lindsey (T7) measured' the polycyclic hydrocarbons levelsin thesmoke
of'asmal'1lpopular-type cigar 8.8'cm8 long, weighing,
1.9 ~ g.Significant quantities of anthracene; pyrene, ft'uoranthene, and
benzo(a)pyrene were detected in the unsmoked cigar tobacco, in con~-
centrations much greater than: thosee found in Virginia cigarettes butt
of the same order as those found in some pipe tobaccos: The smoking
process contributed consi:derably: to the hydrocarbon content of the
smoke. Table 5 compares the concentrations in the mainstream smoke
of'cigarettes; ci'gars;and pipes of fourhyd!rocarbons frequently found
in condensates. The authors reported! that the mainstream smoke from
a popular brand of small cigar contained the polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons; acenaplithylene, phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene,
flnoranthene, andl benzo(a) pyrene. Theconcentrationse ofthese hyd~o-carbons in the mainstream smoke
were greater than those found in
Virginia, cigarette smoke.
Osman, et al. (69) analyzed the volatile phenol' content of cigar
smoke collected from a 7-g. American-made cigar wit.h: domestic filler..
Afterquantitativeanalysisof'ph:enol', cresols, xylenols,and'meta and
para ethyl phenol,, the aurthorsconcluded that the levelsofthesecom-
pound'sweregeneral'1y siiniilar to those reported for ciga:rettesmoke.
O'sma:n and Barson (68) also analyzed cigar smoke for benzene,
toluene, ethyl benzene, m-, p-;, and o-xylene m- and p-ethyltohiene,
1',2,4' triin.ethylbenzene; andi dipentlene, and generally found levels
within the.range of't:liose previously reported for cigarette condensates..
In summary, available evidence suggests that cigar smoke contains
mani- of the same chemicali constituents, including nicotine and; other
alkaloids, phenols, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as are found

Mortality
Overall MortalitySev.eral large prospective studies have examined the health conse-
quences of' various forms of smoking. The results of' these investiga-
tions have been reviewed in previous reports of the Surgeon General
in~ which the major emphasis has been on cigarette smoking and its
effect on overall and specific mortality and morbidity., The following
pages present a current review of the health consequences of smoking
pipes and cigars. Data~ from the prospective investigations of Dunny
et al. (31), Buell,, et a1.(16)1,Hirayama(42),, and W"eir and Dunn
(~105), are not cited, because in these studies a separate category for
pipe and cigar smokers was not established..
The smoking habits and mortality experience of 187,783 white men
between the ages of 50 and 69, who were followed for 44' months were
reported by Hammond and Horn (~41) . The overall mortality rates of
men who smoked pipes or cigars were slightly higher than the rates
of men who never smoked. The overalll mortality rate of cigar smokers
was slightly higher than that of pipe smokers.
In a study of' 41,00(Y British physicians,, Doll and Hill (28, 27) re-
ported the overall mortality of pipe and eigar smokers as being; only
1 percent greater than that among nonsmokers. Best (9),, in a study of
78;000 Canadian veterans, reported overall mortality rates of pipe andd
cigar smokers slightly above those of nonsmokers. Kahn (50) exam-
ined the death rates and smoking habits, of' more than 293,000: U.S..
veterans~ and Hammond (38) examined the smoking habits of and
mortality rates experienced by 440;559 men. In these studies pipe
smokers experienced mortality rates similar to t.hose of men who never
smoked regularly;, whereas cigar smokers had death rates somewhat
higher than men who never smokedi regularly. Table 6 summarizes the
results of'these five studies.,
Thus, data from the major prospective epidemiological studies
demonstrate that the use of'pipes and cigars results in a small but dlefi,-
nite increase in overall mortality. Cigar smokers have somewhat
higher death rates than pipe smokers, and mixed smokers who use
cigarettes in addition to pipes and cigars appear to experience an inter-
mediate levell of mortality that approaches the mortality experience
of' cigarette smokers.

Mortality and Dbse-Response R'elat'ionsliiPs
A consistent association existls between overall mortality and the
total dose of smoke a cigarette smoker receives. The methods most
frequently used'o to measure dosage of tobacco products are : Amount
smoked, degree of inhalat'ion, duration of smoking experience, age
at initiation,, and the amount of tar in a given tobacco product. Forr
cigarette smokers, the higher the dose as measured by any of tihese
parameters, the greater the mortali'ty.The significance of the small'i
increase in overall mortality that occurs for the entire group of pipe
and cigar smokers can be analyzed by examining the mortality of
subgroups defined by si¢niIar measures ~ of dosage as used in the study
of cigarette smokers,

Inhalation ofl tobacco smoke directly exposes the bronchi and the
lungs to smoke and results in the absorption of'the soluble constituents
of the gas and particulate phases. Without inhalation tobacco smoke
only reaches the oral cavity and the upper digestive and respiratory
tracts and does not reach the lungs where further direct effects and
systemic absorption of various chemical compounds can occur..
Although the smoker has some voluntary control over the inhalation
of smoke, the physical and chemical properties of' tobacco smoke to a
degree determine its acceptability and "'inhaTability.7D'
The ~ condensate of pipe andi cigar smoke is generally found to be
alkaline when the pH is measured by suspending a Cambridge filter
in COz-free water. Cigarette condensate is slightly acidic as measured
by this method. Since alkaline smoke is more irritating to the respira-
tory tract, it has been assumed that the more alkaline smoke of pipes
and cigars was in part responsible for the lower levels of inhalation
reported by pipe and cigar smokers. Brunnemann and Hoffmann (15)
have analyzed the pH of whole, mainstream smoke of cigarettes and
cigars on a puff-by-puff'basis using a pH electrode suspended in main-
stream smoke: Smoke from several U.S. brands of'cigarettes was found
to be acidic throughout the entire length of the cigarette. Of' interest
was the findang, that cigar smoke also had an acidic pH for the first
two-thirds ofl the cigar and became alkaline only ini the last 20, to 40
percent of the puffs f rom the cigar. Available epideniiol'ogical evidence
indicates that most cigar smokers do not inhale the smoke and mostt
cigarette smokers db. The fact that smoke from the first half' or more
of a cigar is acidic, near the range of pH values commonly found in
cigarette smoke, and becomes alkaline only toward the end of the
cigar might suggest that the pH of the smoke of a tobacco product
may not be the only factor thatinfluences inhalation patterns. Per-
haps"`tar"' and nicotine levels as well as the concentration of' ok,her"irritating" chemicals also
affect the degree to which a tobacco smokee
will be inhaled.
Nicotine is rapidly absorbed into the blbod stream from the lungss
when tobacca smoke is inhaledl The amount of nicotine absorbed frorni
the lungs is primarily a function of the nicotine concentration in the
smoke and the depth of inhalation. Some nicotine may also be ab-
sorbed through the, mucous membranes of' the mouth. This is moree
likely to occur under alkaline conditions .chen nicotine is unprotonated
(3, 15, 79). This suggests that cigar smokers mayy be able to absorbb
some nicotine through the oralcauity without having to inhale, par-
ticulkarly during the time that the smoke from the cigar is alkaline.
1ea
,

With the development of' sensitive measures of' serum nicotine levels
(48) the extent to which nicotine is absorbed through the membranes
of' the mouth in pipe and cigar smokers can be more accurately
determinedl,
Inhalation patterns of' smokers were determined in severaI of thee large prospective and some of the
retrospective epidemiological studies.
Inhalation was usually determined' by the administration of a ques-
tionnaire that required a subjective evalhiationi of one''s own patterns
ofinhalati~on. A1'thoughi the accuracy of t!heseqpestionnaiereshas not
been confirmed by an objective measure of inhalationS such as carboxy-
hemoglobin or serum nicotine levels, their reliability is supported by
mortality data whichdemonstlratehigber, overall andl specific death
rat'eswith self-reported increases~ in the depth of inhalation.
Doll and Hill (26) andI'-Iammond (3&')presented information on inhalation patterns of pipe; cigar,
and cigarette smokers (figs. 1, 2, 3i
and table 12). Some 80: to 90 percent of' cigarette smokers reported
inhaling, with the majority of' individ'uals inhaling moderately or
deeply, whereas most pipe and cigar smokers denied inhaling at all..
Pipe smokers reported slightly more inhalation than cigar smokers.,
For each type: of' smoking,, less inhalation: was reported' by older
smokers: This change may represent less awareness of inhalation,
differences in smoking habit's of' successive cohorts of smokers, or it
may reflect the: operation of'selectivefactorswhichfavor survival' of
noninhalers.

1957iperiodi'eally reported the use of tobacco products by the British,

Recent reports edited by Todd have contained data on the inhalation
pattern of cigar, pipe, andi cigarette smokers (92, 93, 94). Table 11'i
shows that most cigarette smokers inhale a "lot" of "fair amount"
whereas most pipe and cigar smokers donot'inhaTeatalll or "just alittle."' Little change is observed
in the inhalatiion patterns of a given

inhaled at least slightly were reported by
Hammond'! (38) as being somewhat higher t'han for men who never
smoked regularly. The overalll mortlalityy rates of current cigar smokers
who reported inhaling at least slightly were appreciably higher than
for men who never smoked regularly (table 13).
Available: evidence indicates that cigarette smokers inhale smoke

to also inhale the smoke of' other tobacco products. For cigars,, this is
evidently true whether one smokes both cigarettes and cigars or

Bi-ossand Tidings (14): examined th:einhal'at'ion patt'ernsofs smokers of' large cigars, cigarettes,

tainedl somewhat higher levels of cigar smoke inhalation than those
cigar smokers who had never smoked cigarettes (30' percent).
Toddl (93) examined further tlhe relationship between the inlialationn
of' cigarette andd cigar smoke. In generaly cigarette smokers who
switched to cigars were much less likely to report iiihaling, cigar
smoke: than cigarette smoke:;, however, those who in the past reportedd
inhaling cigarette smoke a"lot" or "fair amount"'' were much moree
likely to report inhaling cigar smoke to the same degree tlian those ex-
cigarette smokers who in the past did not inhale the smoke of their
cigarettes, (ta}51e 17)~..

Speciflc Causes of Mortali'tty
Cancer
Several prospective epidemiological studies have'n shov'n a signifi-
cantly higher overall cancer mortality among pipe and cigar smokers,
compared to;the cancer mortality ofl nonsmokers (table 18)'.
Pipe and cigar smokers have mu& higher rates of cancer at certain
sites than at others. The upper airway and upper dfigestive tracts
appear to be the most, likely target organs. The relationship of'pipe
and cigar smoking to the develbpment ofl specific cancers i's detailed
in the follbwing sections,

Cancer of the Lip.
Approximately 11,500~ new cases of' cancer of the lip are reported
each year. Because of the possibility of early detection and surgical
accessibility of'cancers in this area, there aree less than 200~doaths from
cancer of't'h:elip each year in the United States. Sotne,ofthe earliest
seientific investigations exploring the association betweeni tobacco, use
andd disease examinedi the smoking patterns of individuals with cancer
of'the lip.
Broders (13) in 1920 examined'' the smoking habits ofl patients in
a retrospective study of' 526' cases of epithelioma of the lip andi 500
controls.. Of the cancer cases, 59 percent smoked pipes, whereas this
was true for only 28 percent of'the control's. No association: was found
betR.een cigar or cigarette smoking and cancer of the lip.
In a restrospective study of 439' clinic, pat'ient's with cancer of' the
lip andl 300, controls conducted in Sweden, Ebenius (32') reported a
significant association between pipe smoking and cancer of tlie lip,
A total of' 61.8 percent of the lip cancer cases smoked pipes, while
only 22.9' percent of' the controls smoked pipes. No association was
found between the use of cigarettes, cigars, or chewing tobacco and
cancer of the lip.
][ni other retrospective studies, Levin, et al. (60) reviewed a series
of' 143' cases of cancer of the: lip, and Sadowsky, et a1: (77)' reviewed
571 cases of cancer of'the lip. lfn both studies, a strong association was
floundl between pipe smoking and cancer of the lip. No significant
association was found between the use of tobacco in other forms and
cancer at this sit'e:
l[n, a study of environmental factors in cancer of the upper alimen,
tary tract, Wyndier, et al. (113)', found an association between pipe
smoking, cigarette smoking, and cancer of'thelip: There were only 15
cases of cancer of the lip in this study:S~taszewski (87)examinedi the smoking habits of 394 men
with
carcinoma or precancerous lesions of the lips. An associationi wasfoundl between tlh:e, smoking of
pipes and cigars and cancer of the lip;
but this was only of doubtful significance. A significant associationn
was found between the use of'cigaret't'es and cancer of the lip.
Keller (51) conducted a study of lip cancers in which he considered
a number of factorsincluding, histologic types, survival,, race,occupa-tions habits, and
associated diseases. A total of 304 patients with
primary basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the lip and'i 304
controls from the same hospital matched for age and race «-ere con-
sidered in this series. A significant association was floundl between
smoking in a11 forms~ and'' combiziationsand carcinoma of thelip., Iitl
was a1'so found that inereasing: age andi outdbor occupat'i'ons with
exposure to~ thesuni wereequadly significant factors in the etiology ofl
lip cancer.
190

In summary, it appears that there are several factors involved in
the etiology of cancer of the lip. Among the various forms of'tobacco
use, pipe smoking either alone or in combination with other forms of'
smoking seems to be a cause of cancer of'the: lip. Table 19 summarizes
the results of'these retrospective studies.
Oral! Cancer
The lips, oral cavity, and pharynx are the first tissues exposed to
tobacco smoke drawn in through the: mouth. Variations in inhalation
during,the smoking,of various.tobacco products result in different pat-
terns of distribution of smoke throughout the respiratory tree. How-
ever, the oral cavity and adjacent tissues are the sites most consistently
exposed to tobacco smoke. For this reason, differences in inhalation
should result in less variation, in exposure to tobacco smoke for these
sites than for the lower trachea and t.he lung. The inherent carcinogen-
icity of pipe, cigar, and cigarette smoke is most reliably compared at
those tissue sites where dosage and exposure to, tobacco smoke are most
nearly equal. Data from, the epidemiblogical studies suggest that little
difference:exists between the smoking of'cigarettespipesor cigars and
the risk of developing orallcancer.
Hammond and Horn (40) examined the association between smok-
ing in, various forms and cancer of'the combinedi sites of lip, mouth,,
pharynx, lary.nx,, and esophagus. The mortality ratios were 5.00 for
cigar smokers,, 3.50 for pipe smokers; and 5.06 for cigarette smokers
comparedto:nonsmokers. All the deaths from cancer of the lip, oral cav-
ity, and pharynx reportedl by Doll and Hi1D (26) occurred in smokers..
The death rates from cancer at these sites were 0.04 per 1,000 for pipe
and cigar smokers, 0:10 per 1,000 for mixed smokers, and 0.05: per 1,000
for cigarette smokers. A fairly detailed analysis of oral cancer was pre-
sented by Kahn (50) who differentiated between cancer of the oral
cavity and cancer of the pharynx. The mortality ratios for oral cancers
were 1.00 for those who never smoked, 3.89 for all pipe and cigar
smokers; and 4.09 for cigarette smokers. A further breakdown of the
pipe and cigar smokers demonstrated a mortality ratio of'. 4.11 for
cigar smokers, 3.12 for pipe smokers,,and 4!.20 for smokers of pipes and
cigars. For cancer of the pharynx, the mortality ratios were 1.00 for
those who never smoked,, 3.06' flor all pipe and cigar smokers; andl 12.5
for cigarette smokers. No deatihs oceurredl among those who smoked
only cigars: The mortality ratio was 1.98 for pipe smokers and 7.76'
for smokers of pipes and cigars. Hammondl (3b')' combined cancers of
the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx. The pipe and cigar smokers had a
mortality ratio~ of 4.94 and the cigarette smokers a mortality ratio of
9:90 compared to nonsmokers.

Cancer of the Larynx
The larynx is situated at the upper endl of the trachea. Because of!
its' proximity to the oral cavity, the larynx probably has a similar'
exposure to smoke d~ra.vn through the mouth as the buccal cavity and
phaaynx. Tobacco smoke that is not inhaled! may stilll reach as far as
the larynx and upper trachea. Pipe, and cigar smokers develop cancer
of thelitrynx at rates comparable to those of cigarette smokers. These

rates are several times the rates of nonsmok:ers. The siQnilarity of the
mortality ratios of cancer of the larynx f'or smoking in various fonns
suggests that the carcinogenic potentials of the smoke from cigars,,
pipes, and cigarettlesare quite alike at thissi'te.
Several of tlhe~ prospective epidemiological studies include d'at~aan
deaths from cancer of the larynx for pipe and cigar smokers as «eldl
as forcigaretlt'esmokers.Havnmond and I-1orn (40), combined data for
cancer ofl the larynx with cancer of the esophagus and oral cavity.
The mortality ratios comparredi to nonsmokers were 5'.00~ for cigar
smokers, 3.50~ for pipe smokers, and 5:06' for cigarette smokers, Tlrere
were no deaths from carcinoma of' larynx among nonsmokers in
tlhe' study of I>1'ri'tish physicians by Doll and Hill! (26:)~ ; however, thedcath rate for cancer
of the lary.nx among pipe and'cigar smokers:was
0.10 per1I,000 wh:ilethe deathi rate.f'or cigarette smokers was 0.05' per
1,000. Kahn ('50)reportedmortallityrat'~i'osforcancer of'thelarynx of10:33' for cigar smokers; 9!441
for pipe and cigar smokers, 7.28 for all
pipe and cigar categories'combined~ and 9.95 for cigaret!te smokers: No
deaths from cancer of the larynx occurred in pipe smokers: 1-I<ammond
(38) reported a mortality ratio of 3.37' for all pipe and cigar smokers
and a mortality ratio of 6.09 for cigarette smokers in the age category
45 to 64. These studies are summarized in table 22.
Several': retrospective studies have examined the smoking habits of
patients with cancer of the larynx and appropriately matched controls.
The small number of'e pipe and'r cigar smokers ihi each study results in
relative ri'sk ratiost that are quite unstable; however, it appears tliatt
pipe and cigar smokers experience a risk of' developing, cancer of'thee
larynx that is similar ta the risk observed among cigarette smokers
(table 18).

Wynder, et al. (108, 113) distinguished' between intrinsic and ex-
trinsic larynx caneers: For smokers the relative risk of' developing
cancer of the intrinsic larynx was similar to the relative risk of lung,
cancer whereas the relative risk of dev.eloping extrinsic larynx cancer
was more like the relative risk of cancer of theiupper digestive tract.
Histologic changes of the larynx in relation to smoking ini various
forms were described by Auerbachy et al. (5):. Mi.croscopic sections of'~
the larynx from~ 942 ' subjects were examined flor the presence of
atypicali nuclei andi proliferation of' cell rows. Sectionsi were taken
from four separate areas of the larynx in eachicase: Among those who
smoked cigars and pipes but'nat cigarettes;only I percent had no~
atypical cells and niore than i5i percent of the subjects had lesions
with 50 to 69 percent atypical cells. Four of'the cigar and pipe smokers
had carcinoma in situ and in one of these four cases earlyy invasion
was seen in three of the sections. Of those who never smoked regu-
Iarly.,i5 percent had no atypical cells. Tlieci'garand pipesm~okers,had
ai similar percentage of cells n it.h atypical! nuclei as cigarette smokers
who smoked one to two packs per day,. With respect to the proli£era,
tion of cell rows in the basali la}.er of the true vocal cord; the least
proportion of cases with eight or more cell rows was found in men
,,ii never sm~oked,, and the greatest proportion was found in heavy
cigarette smokers. Pipe and cigar smokers had a distribution of celll
rows that was comparable to that of cigarette smokers who consumed
about a pack a day.
Several retrospective studies have reported an association between
t'.he combined' use of tobacco and alcohol and cancer of the larynx. A
study by `Vynder, et al. (108) included some information on pipe and
cigar smoking in relation to drinking habits and the develop:nent of
cancer of the larynx,, but because of the limitied number of' pipe and
cigar smoking subjects this relationship could! not be adequately
determined.
Cancer of the Esophagus
The esophagus is not dfirectly, exposed to tobacco smoke drawn into
the niouthi; however, the esophagus does have contact with that portion
of tobacco smoke that is condensed on the mucous membranes of the
mouth and pharynx and then swallowed. The esophagus i's also ex-
posed to a portion of tobaccosmoke, tllatis~deposit,edl in the mucus
cleared from tlle lung by the ciliary mechanismior by coughing. Varia-
tions in inhalation of~ atobacco, product maynot appreciably alter the~
exposure the esophagus receives from smoke dissolved in mucus and
saliva. This suggest.ion receives support from the prospective and
retrospective epideneiolopcal studies which demonstrate simillar mor-
tality rates for cancer of the esophagus in smokers of'cigars, pipes, andl
cigarettes.

In the prospective epidemiological studies, cigar,, pipe, and cigarette
smokers alll had similar mortality ratios f'rom cancer of the esophagus.
Hammond and Horn (4D)' combined the categories of carcinoma of
the esophagus, lEarynx, pharynx, oral cavity, and lip and described
mortality ratios of 5.00 for cigar srnokers, 3.50' for pipe smokers, andl
5.06 for cigarette smokers. Dolll and Hill (26) reported an esophageal'
aancer mortality ratio of 2:0'for pipe and cigar smokers4.8 for mixedl
Smokers, and 1.5' for cigarette smokers. Kahn (50) reported the fol-
lowing mortality i atias for smoking in various forms cornpared to non-
smokers: cigar only, 5,33; pipe only, 1.99;, pipe and cigar, 4.57; all
pipes and cigars combined, 4.05; and cigarettes only, 6.17. The results
of these prospect.ive studies are summarized in table 24.
Several retrospective investigations have also examined the assoeia,
tion~ between smoking in various forms and cancer of the esophagus.
These studies have been summarized in table 25. The evidence sug-
gests that cigar, pipe, and cigarette smokers develop cancer of the
esophagus atrates substantially higher than those seen in nonsmokers,
and that little dift'erence exists between these rates observed in smokers
of'pipes and cigars and cigarettes.
Histologic changes in the esophagus in relation~ to smoking in vari-
ous forms were investigated by Auerbach, et all (7), who looked for
atypical nuclei, disintegrating nuclei, hyperplasia, and hyperactive
esophageal glands. A total ofl 12,598 sections were made from tissues
obtained fromi 1,268 subjects. For each of t.he parameters investigated,
pipe and cigar smokers demonstrated sigmificantl more abnormal
histologic changes than nonsmokers; however, these changes were not
as severe or as frequent as those seen in cigarette smokers.
Several retrospective studies conducted in the I7nitedl States and
other countries have examined the synergistic roles of tAbacco use and
heavy alcohol intake on the development of cancer of the esophagus.
Four ofl these investigations contain data on pipe and cigar smoking
(12, 62, 63: 107). It appears that smoking in any form in combination
with heavy drinking results in especially high rates of cancer of the
esophagus..

Lung Gancer.
Abund'ant evidence has accumulated from epidemiological~ experi-
»iental, and autopsy studies establishing, that cigarette snn.oking is the
major cause of lung cancer. Several prospective epidemiological!
studies have demonstrated higher lung cancer mortality ratios for pipe
and cigar smokers than for nonsmokers, but the risk of d'eveloping,lung
cancer for pipe and cigar smokers is less than for cigarette smokers.
Table 26 presents a summary of' these prospective studies.Dose-
i esponse relationships such as t'hose that helped demonstrate the nature
of'the association between cigarette use and lung cancer could not be
as thoroughlystudied for pipe and' cigar smokers because of the rela-
tiv ely few smokers in these categories. Although the number of deaths
were few,,Doll and Hill (26) reported increased death, rates from lung,
cancer for pipe and cigar smokers with increasing tobacco consump-
tion (tablE27)..Kahn (50) also demonstrated a dose-response relation-
ship for lung cancer by the amount smoked (table 28).
A few of the retrospective studies contained enough smokers to allow
an examination of dose-response relationships for pi'pe an:d cigar smok-
ing and lung cancer (1, 61, 74; 77). An increasedi risk of developing
lung cancer was demonstrated with the increased use of pipes and
cigars as measured' by amount smoked and inhalation. The retrospec-
tive i'nv estigation of Abelin, and Gsell (1) is of particular interest, The
smoking habits of 118 male patients with cancer of the hing from a
rural' area of Switzerland were compared with those reported in a sur-
vey of' all male inhabitants ofl a~ tawn ini the same ree on. About 20~
percent of the population of this: area were regular cigar smokers, the
nlost'popular cigar being the Stumpen, asmald S~viss-made machine-
manufactured cigar cut at both, ends with an average weight of 4.5 g.
Iln this investigation, cigar smokers experienced a risk of developing
lung cancer that was similar to the risk of cigarette smokers. A dose-
response relationship was demonstrated for inhalation and amount
smoked. These data suggest that the heavy smoking of certain cigars
may result in a risk of lung cancer that is similar to that experienced
by cigarette smokers.
Several pathologists have reported histologic changes in the
bronchiall epithelium in relation to~smoking in various forms:Knudt-
son (57)~ examined the bronchial mucosa ofl 150 lungs removed at au-
topsyy and correlated the histologic changes note.dl with the history
of smoking, age, occupation, and residence. Specimens obtained from
the six cigar, and pipe smokers demonstrated basal cell hyperplasia;;
however, there was no squanious or atypicali proliferative metiaplasiaa
as is frequently seen in the heavy cigarette smokers.
Sanderud (78) examined histologic sections from the bronchiali tree
of' 100 male autopsy cases for the presence of' squamous epithelial.

metaplasia. In this study, 39 percent of the populittioni were non-
smokers, 20 percent were pipe smokers,, and 38 percent smoked cig-
arettes: A total of 80 percent of the pipe smokers and cigarette smokers
diemonstrated squamous metaplasia of'the bronchial.t'ree, whereas only
54 percent of'the nonsmokersl2ad this abnormality.
Auerbachy, et al.(6), examined 3~6;340histologiic sect'iionsobtainedfrom 1,522! white adul'tsfbr
variousepithelial lesions including:
presence or absence of'cil'iated cell§, thicknes&or number of'cell rows,
atypical nuclei, and the proportiom of cel2s of' various types. The
pathologic findings in the bronchial epit.helium, of pipe and cigar
smokers are compared to those found in nonsmokers and cigarette
smokers (table 25)!. Pipe and cigar smokers had abnormalities that
were'intermediat,e'between thoseof'nonsmokersand cigaret't~esmokers;although cigar smokers had
pathologic changes that in some categories
approached the changes seen~ in cigarette smokers.

Tiimorigenic Activity
The tumorigenic activity of tobacco smoke can be modi,fi'ed ia1~ both a
quant'itat.iveand' qualitati'vesense. Physical or chemical changesimtobacco that result in a
reduction of' total particulate matter upon
combusion of a given quantity of tobacco may result in a reductionn
of carcinogenic potential. Suchi factors as tobacco selection, treatment,
blendi~ng;cut, and' addit.ivesmay quantit'ativelyaltertar~ production..
Wrapper porosity and filtration, may also affect tar production.
Quantitative changEs in the tumorigenic activity of tobacco tar on
a gram-for-gram basis can be producedl by the selection and treatmentt
of'tobacco,,the use of additives or tobacco sfieets; or adjustments in the
cut and packing,density.C'ombustion temperature can also produce quantlitative changes in
the particulate matter of tobacco smoke. Although high-temperature
burning producesIess particulate matter in the smoke, i't appearsthat
tumorigenic components occur in higher concentration when tobacco is
pyrolizedi at'tlemperat'uresliigher than 70p° centigrad'e(;34).
Cigars, pipes, and cigarettes are similar in that they are smoked
orallyy and have a common site of introduction to the body. The tissues
of the mouth,, larynx, pharynx, andl esophagus appear to receive ap-
proximately equal exposure to the smoke of these products: Inlialationn
causes smoke to be dlrawn deeply into the lungs and also allows for
systemiic absorption of' certain constlituent:sof tobacco: smoke which
then can be carried further to other organs.
Pipe tobacco and cigars vary from cigarettes in a number of charac-
teristics that can produce both quantitative and qualitative changes i'n
the total particulate matter produced by their combustion. Experi-
mental evidence suggests that althoughthere is some difference in the
amount and quality of tar prodiucedl by cigars, this cannot account for
the reduced mortality observed'' i'n cigar smokers compared to cigarettee
smokers..
Experimental Studies
Several experimental, investigations have been conducted to examine
the relative tumorigenic activity of tobacco smok- condensates obtained
from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.llTost of these studies were standard-
ized in aniattempt to make tlie results of the cigar andlpilpe experiments
more directly comparable with the cigarette data and most used the
shaved skin of mice for the applieation of tar. Tars from cigars, pipes,and cigarettes were usually
applied on an equal weight basis so that
qualitative differences in the tars could: be determined. In sev.eral ex-
perimentsthe nicotine «-asextracted from the pipe and cigar conden-
sates inani attempt to reduce the acute toxic effects that resulted inn
animals, from the high concentrations of' nicotine frequently fonnd in
these.prodnct'se

Wynder and' Wright (117) examined the differences in tumorigenic
activity ~ of~~ pipe and cigarette condiensates. Tars~ were~ obtained by ~ the~
smoking of a popular brand of king-size cigarettes and the same ciga-
rette tobacco smoked in 12 standard-grade briar bowl pipes. Both the
cigar.ettes~ and pipes~were~ puffed three~ times a minute~ with a,2'-secondd
puff! and a35-ml. volmne. Both the~ cigarettes~~ andl pi'pes~attained similar
masilnum combustion zone temperatures; however, the use of cigarette
tobacco in the pipe resulted in a combustion chamber temperature that

when pipe tobacco was uscdL Chemical fractionation was accomplished
and equal concentrations of the neutral fraction were applied i'n threee
weekly applications to~ the~ shaved skin of~ CW1F, and Swiss mice. The~
results~indicate,that neutral tar obtainedif'rom, cigarette~tobacco~ smoked,
in piipes, is more activ~e~tl7an that obtained in the~usual manner from~
cigarettes. About twice as many-. cancers.vere obtained in both the CAFl
and the~ Swiss~mice,~ and t'he~ latent period was~~ about~2 months shorter..
Extending these data, Croninger, et~a]. (20)~ examined the~ biologic:
activity~ ofl tars obtained from, cigars,~ pipes, and cigarettes., Each form
.
of tobacco was~~slnoked as~it was~rmnu~factured in a manner tolsimulateI

applied in, dilutions of one-to-one~ andl one~-to-two~ with acetone~ to~ th~e~
shav ed backs of female CAF;, andl female Swiss mice using three
.~l~hlications~each~ ~~ eek~for the life-span span of'the~ animal. The ni eotine~~ ~ti ~as~
extracted from~ the~~ pipe and cigar~ condensates~~ to~ reduceI the acute
toxicity of~the solutions. The Swiss mice,,pipe~cigar, andci~garette~tars
produced both benign and m~alignant tuinors: The incidence irates~~ of'
maligfil~Uat tumors given as:percent''~s z~ ere~: 44411, and 37; respectively~.
These resnlts suggested a somewhat higher degree of carcinogenic
activity ~ for cigar and pipe ~ t~a rs thani for cigarette tlair:
Similar~ results were~ reported by Kensler (53): who~applied conden-
sates obtained from cigars ancL cigare:ttes, tl the shaved skin of~ mice:
The incidence of papillomas produced by cigar smokee concentrate was
no~~ different from~ that of~ theI cigarette~ smoke~ condensate. Similarliy;~
there~ «-as~~no~ difference between cigar and cigarette~smoke~condensates
when caTci~noma~ inci~dences~were connpared..
Homburgeret a~~lL (.1.:.~)~, prepared tars~from cigar,,pipe,,and cigarette

ences~ in tumor~ yield could be attributed to~ tobacco blend~ and not the~
manner in which the~ tars~ were, prepared. The~ whole tars were diluted

of' pipe andi cigar tobaccos in the form of' cigarettes does not alter the
condensates to any significantdlegree.
Davies and Day (22) prepared tars from small cigars especially
manuf'actured from a composite blend of cigar tobacco representing,
small cigar brands smoked in the United Kingdom,, cigarettes espe-
cially manufactured from the same tobacco used for the cigars de-
scribed above, and plaini cigarettes especially manufactured from a
cpmpositle~ blend of ' flue-cured tobacco representing the major plain
cigarette brands smoked in, the United Kingdom. The whole tar was
diluted to four concentration levels and applied to the shaved backs
of' female albino mice for their lifespan using four dosing, regimens.
A statistically significant increase in mouse skin carcinogenicity was
shown with the cigar smoke condensate compared with the tars
obtained from eitherflue-cured~ or cigar tobaccociga:rettes. Theseresults are consistent with those
of'' the: previously reportedd
investigations.
The effect of curing on carcinogenicity was examinedl by R'oe et al.
(76)~. Bright tobacco grown in Mexico was either flue-cured or air-
cured and bulk fermented. Both flue-curedand air-cured tobaccos were
made into cigarettes standardized for draw resistance and were smokedd
u~nder similar, condi'tions. Condensates from thesecigarettes, werea:p-
plied to mouse skin three times each week in an, acetone solut'.ion. The
development of'skin, tumors«-as, higher in mice treated with! the flue-
cured condensate than in mice treated with the air-cured condensate
(P'<O:Q1'1). The dilff.erence may have been due to the use of equal
weights of condensate rather than the use of extracts from an equall
number of cigarettes. Theaiir-cured cigarettes~ produced a, greater
weight of' condensa;tethani didi t!he~ flue-cured cigarettes. A chemical
analysi'sof the two tobaccos and two condensates revealed only sma111
differences in composition. Evidently air curing of Bright tobacco
in the methodl usedl is nott associated' with a loss of reducing sugars.
A more detailed analysis of these experimental studies is~ presentedl
initable 31.
These experimental data suggest that cigRr and pipe tobacco con-
densates,havea carcinogenic potential that is comparabletocigarettecondensates.Thisissiihport~ed

The majority of deaths in the United St'ates each year are due to
cardiovascular diseases. Cigarette smoking has been identified as a
major risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease
(~CH!D). However, pipe and cigar smokers experience only a small
increase in mortality from, coronary heart disease above the rates of
nonsmokers. Cigarette smokers have higher death rates from cerebro-
vascular disease thannonsmokers, whereas pipe and cigar smokers have
cerebrovascular death rates that are only sligkrtly above the rates of
nonsmokers. Table 32 summarizes the major pr.ospective epidemiologi-
OroupStudy of coronary heart disease, reportedl an incidence of coro-
nary heart disease in men aged 50 to 59 whowere pipe and cigar smok-
ers that `vas intermediate between the rates seen in cigarette smokers
and nonsmokers. No ~increase in incidence of coronary heart disease was
seen among the pipe and'. cigar smokers in the younger age groups.
Shapiro, et al. (85), in a study of the: health insurance plan (HIP')
population, reported incid'ence rates for myocardsal' infaretion, angina
pectoris, and possibleMI, in pipe and cigar smokers that were similar
cal investigations that eramined the association of smoking in various
forms and total cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease, and
cerebrovasculardisease: Doll and, Hill. (28), Best (9), and Kahn (50)~,
examined dose-responserelat'ionshipsfor pipe and cigar smokers andG
reported a slight increase in mortality from, coronary heart disease
with an increase in the number ofcigars or pipefuls smoked.
Other prospective epidemiological studies have also egamined the
relationship of smoking in various forms to coronary heart disease and
related risk factors: Jenkins, et al. (49) in the Western Collaborative
tio the incidence rates seen in cigarette smokers. These rates were con-
siderably higher than those of nonsmokers. Data from the pooling
project (47) suggested that the incidence of CHD deaths, sudden
death, and the first major coronary event in pipe and cigar smokers
was intermediate between the incidence experienced by cigarette smok-
ers and nonsmokers. In contrast to these stud'ies; Doyle et al. (30)
reported no increase in CHD deaths; myocardial' infarctionor angina~
pectoris in pipe and cigar smokers over the rates of nonsmokers in the
Framingharn study.
The retrospective studies of Mills and Porter (64), Villiger and
Heyden-Stucky: (104), Schimmler, et al. (80):, and Hood,, et al. (!46:)~
contained' data suggesting that pipe and cigar smokers experience
mortality rates from coronary heart disease that are essentially similar
to those esper.ienced by cigarette smokers. The retrospective study of
Spain and Nathan (86) reported lower ratesofcoronaryheart dis-
ease in all smoking categories than were: found in nonsrnokers,Van Buchem (103), and Dawber, et al.
(23): examined serum choles-
terol levels, in groups of individuals classified accord'hng to, sm,oking
I

habits., In theset'wostudies; pipe and cigar smokershad serumclioles,
terol let-els that were nearlly irlentiical with the levels found in
nonsmokers.
Tibblin (91) and Dawber,,et al. (23)1 investigated tllie~effect'of'smok-
ing on blood pressure. The proportion of smokers d'ecreased in groups
with higher blood pressures, although this was not as dramatic for
pipe and cigar smokers as it .vas'for cigarette smokers:
IIn an experimental study using anesthetized dogs, Kershbaum and
Bellet (54, 55): examined the effect's of inhaledl and noninhaled ciga-
rette; cigar, and& pipe smoke on serum free fattyy acid levels and urinary
catecholamine and nicotine eieretiom In this study, inhalation of to-
bacco smoke from all these sources resulted in similar increases in
serum free fatty acids and in catecholamine and nicotine excretion.

frequent and more severe respiratory infections than nonsmokers.
The relationship between smoking, pipes andi cigars and these diseases
is summarized in tliis chapter. The major prospective epidlemio3ogical
studies are summarized in table 33,
In a retrospective studly of' 1,189! males, andl matched controls in

amount of volatile and particulate compounds in the smoke, andi the
exposure volume have been shown to infl'uence the toxic effect of'
tobacco smoke. Dalhamn andl Rylander (2Z ) exposed the upper trachea
of anesthetized cats to the smoke of' cigarettes and cigars, observing
the effect on ciliary activity through an incident-light microscope.
A chemicall analysis of the gas and particulate phases revealedl that
the cigar smoke was more alkaline and,, in general, contained higher
concentrations of isoprene, aeetone, acetonitrile, toluene, and totall
partiiculatematter comparedl tocigarettiesmoke. Tiheaverage number
of's puffs required to arrest ciliary activity was found to be 73' for the
cigarette smoke and 1114 for the cig ar smoke. The difference is statisti
cally. significant (P C0.01). Of the two smokes,,the smoke 'with the
highest concentration ofI volztilecompounds was found to be! t ~eleast
ciliostatic. This suggests that the degree of ciliotoxicity ofi a, smoke is
not necessarily correlated to the level of'one or several of the substances
found in the smoke.
Passey, et al. (70,71;, 7'M') studied the effect of smoke from flue-cured
cigarette tobacco cigarettes and air-cured cigar tobacco cigarettes on
the respiratory system of rats: In two separate but similar experi-ments, a total of 48 animals were
expo d to. E:nglish cigarette tobacco

exposed toan air-cured B'unley.tobacco smoke. The rats in groups were
exposed to the specific smoke in a snmoke-fillled cabi'net,, Animals ex-
posed tolhe smokefromair-cured tlobaccosremained liealthythrough-
out the experiments, even at high levels of smoke exposure. The three
deathsthat, occurred within, this group were from nonrespiratory
causes.Isr kiothiex.periments;the rats exposed t~ocigarettetobacco smoke
began todie.rithin 1 or 2 months, and ineach.experiinentmostoftheani'mals died within a,week or two
of the first deaths. At autopsythey rats exposed to, flkte-cured tobacco smoke on, gross examination
were
found tohav.egreatly enlarged lhingsy t'hetrachea wasoft~en full of
mucus,and there was evidence of pneumonia. On microscopic examina,
tion it, was found thatt the trachea and bronchi contained' purulent

and goblet cell hpyerplasia. Typically; the causeof' death wasalobaror bronchopneumonia. The author
concl!uded that, "the smokes of'flue-
cured t;obaccosaremore: dangerous to man and to animals than those
of'air-cured tobaccosi"'

Unfortunately.; few details were published concerning the method
used to expose the animals to the different types of smoke. The fre-
quency and duration of exposure were not speciffedy and the extent of
actual inhalation of smoke by the different groups of rats was either
not determined or not reported. It is also difficultto determine the
effect of smoke exposure on the frequency andl severity of respiratory
infections when animals are expo5edlto smoke in groups where common
exposure occurs. The rat strain used was not identified, but it was
noted that animals appeared to suffer from an endemic rat bron-
chiectasis. It is not known to what extent epidemics of respiratory
infections occurred among these animals. Because of'these difficulties,
no firm eoncTusion can be drawn concerning the effect of' smoking flkle-
cured or air-cured tobaccos on the incidence of respiratory infections
in~ rat's.

Cigarette smokers have an increasedl prevalence ofpept'ic ulcer

nonsmokers. These relationships are: stronger for gastric ulcer than.
for duodenal ulcer.Cigarett.e smoking appears to reducee the effective-
ness of standardl peptic ulcer treatment regimens and slows therate
of' ulicer healing. Cigar and pipe smokers experience higher deathh
rates from peptic ulcer disease than nonsmokers. These rates are higher
for gastric ulcers than for dluodlenal ulcers butl are some«-hat, less than

lLittle Cilgars
In the, past year, several new brands of' littlle cigars(weighing, 3
pounds or less per 1,000) have appeared on the nationall market. These
eigarette-siaed products, are manufactured, packaged, advert'i'sed, and
sold in a manner similar to cigarettes. Little cigars enjoy several legal
advantages ouercigarettes ~: ~ They have aceess : to ~ tellevision ad'vertising';
they are taxed by the Federal Government andby most Statesat much
lower ratesthancigarettesresulting in a significant price advantage;
222'

and they do not carry the warning label required on cigarette pack-
ages and in cigarette advertising. A market appears to be developing
for these products, as there has recent'ly been a sharp increase in the
shipment ofl little cigars destined' fordomestic consumption (table 37).
It is important to estimate the potential public health impact of'
these little cigars. An adequate epidemiological evalaation~ of the ef-
fect of little cigar smoking on health could take 10 or 15~ years and is
probably an impractical consideration; however, a review of the epide-
miological; autopsy, and experimental data concerning the health~ con-
seqtzences of cigarette; pipe, and cigar smoking summarizedl in this and
previous reports is helpful' in considering the potential impact onn
health of smoking little cigars. An amalysisof' the chemical constit-uents suggests that both
cigarettes and cigars contain similar com-
pounds in similar concentrations. Two exceptions are redhicing sugars;
which are not found in quantity in the fermented tobaccos commonly
usedl in cigars, and the pH1 of'the inhalpd~ smoke. The pH of the smoke
from U.S. commercial' cigarettes is below 6.2 from the first to the last
puff; whereas the smoke f'rom, thelastRaif of'a cigar may reach as high
as pH 8 to 9. With increasing pH, nicotine is increasingly present in
the smoke as the free base. Skin painting experiments in mice indicate
that tumor yields with cigar or pipe "tars" are nearly identical with
those obtained witheigarettes "tars~''. In addition,, the epidemiologilcall
data suggest that depth of' inhalation probably accounts for the fact
that cig<lrettesaresomuch more:harmfnl than cigars and pipesi'n con-
tributing to the development of lung cancer, coronary heart disease
and nonneoplastic respiratory disease. For, such, diseases as cancer of
the orallcavity, larynx, andlesophagus, «here smoke from cigars, pipes,
and cigarettes is available to the target organ at comparable levels, the
mortality ratios are very similar for all three forms of tobacco use.
Severali factors, including "tar,"nscotine; andl the pH of the smoke,,
probably operateto influence inhalation patterns of' smokers. The
relative contribution of individual factors to the inhalability of a
tobacco product has not been determined.
Smoking those brands of little cigars which can be inhaled by a
significant portion of the population in a manner similar to the pres-
ent use of cigarettes would probably result in an increased risk of de-
veloping, those pulmonary and cardiovascuIar diseases which havee
been associated with cigarette smoking. On the other handi,, smoking
those little cigars which are used like most large cigars whereby the
smoke is rarely inhaled «ouldl probably result in lower rates of' those
pulm.onary andl cardiovascular diseases than would be found among
cigarette smokers.
Only a limited analysis is available comparing the chemical' com-
pounds found in little cigars, cigarettes, and large cigars. The FTC

a

generally a hig)ier~~ "'tar"' and nicotine levell than~ cigarettes, although~
considerable overlap resul'tls in some little cigar brands having, "tlar"'
and nicotine llevels comparable to those of some brands of cigarettes
(figs:~ 4 and 5)~. Hoffinann andi Wynder (I4) ' recently~ compared th~~ree~~
brands of little cigars with an unfiltered cigaret.te, a filteredl ci'garette,
and a, large cigar. They measured' a number of'smoke constituents, in-
cluding: "tar,'7 nicotine, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, reducing
sugars, hydrogen cyanide, acetaldehyde, acrolein; pyridines, phenols,,
benz(a)anthracene~,-and benzo(a)'pyrene (table 32). Cigarette A was
the Kentucky reference cigarette, cigarette Bwas a popular brand of'
filter cigarette. Cigar A was an 85' mm. little cigar, cigar B was an.
85 mm. little cigar, cigar C was a 95 mm~ small cigar, and cigar D was~
a 112 mm. popular brand of' medium sized cigar.
The~ srnoke~ pH~ was analyzed pu~~fE~ by puff~ (tabl!e~ 39). Cigaret'tle~~
smoke was found to be acidiie (',pI-I less than 7) for the entire cigarette.
The~ smoke from little~ cigarsbecam~e~ alkaline~ only ~ in~ the last~ puff or
two, whereas about the, last 40 percent of'thepuffs from the larger
cigan~were alkaline. Although the~pHl~of the~tlot~all condensate obtai~ned'
from~ cigarettes~ is usually' ~ acidic and the totall cond'ensate~ obtained
from cigars is usually alkaline, the above data indicate that smoke
pH of tobacco prodkzcts changes during the combustion process. Sinoke
from large cigars may be acidic dh'zring the first portion of the smoke
and not become~a~lkaline untillthe lastha~lf~of'tili~e~cigar~is: smokedBrunnemann and Hoffmann (15),
using the same techniques de-
scribed above, examined the effect of'~ 60 leaf' constituents on smoke pH..
For~severallvarieties~of cigarette~tobaccothey~~ found a high correlationn
between~ the,total aklaloid and n~~itrogen content a~nd smoke ~ pH. Stalk~~k
position~~ also~ affected smoke ~ pH. 'Il'obaceo~ leaves, near tlte~ top~ of' tlie~
plant, which contalin high levels of tar and nicotine, y~ielded a sm~oke~
with a muchihigher~pHf than leav.es~ lo..-err on the~ plant. At pr:esent~ it is~~
not~ known to what extent t~hese~ factors~~ i'nfluence~ the~ p1-lf of the~ smoke
of~tobaccos~com~monl'y~used in cigars~or how these kinds of pH~ch~anges
intiuence~the~ inhalability of tobacco smoke:.
The~ inhalation of'sm~oke, howeverappears to be tlte~~ most i~mportantlt
factor~ d~etermining~ the, impact a cigar will have on overalll health.
Those~ physi~call and chemical charact'~eristics~~ of a tobacco~ product
which most influence~ inhalatlion, of tobacco smoke have~ not been
accurately~ determined. Nevertheless, it appears likely that the smoke~
of'sorne brands of'cigars mayy be.compatible with inhalation by a sig-
nificant: portion of the smoking~ population,~ since~:~~ (a~)~ Little~ cigars~~
have tar and nicotine levels which. in some brands, are similar to the
l~evels!~ found in cigaretlt:es,~ and (b' ) the ~ p~H'i . of the~ smoke~~ of~ some~ little~~
cigar brands is acidic for the major portion of the little cigar and
becomes alkaline only in tlhe last puff or tv-o:~
2za!

It is reasonable to conclude that smoking little cigars may result in
health effects similar to those associated with smoking cigarettes if
little cigars are smoked in amounts and with patterns of inhalationn
similar t.o those used, by cigarette smokers, fmr the reasons cited above,
and''theseadditiionallreasons~: (a)~Int'hoselittleciga.rs for«-hich pre-liminary data are
available,, the concentrations of carbon monoxide,
hydrogen, cyanide, acetaldeltyde; acrolein,,pyridine, phenoland poly-
cyclic hydrocarbon levels are comparable to those found in cigarettes;
(b) cigarette smokers wH.o switch to cigars appear to be more likely
to inhale cigar smoke than cigar smokers who have always smoked
cigars (14'); and (c) cigarette smokers who switch to little cigars mayy
be inclined to use them as they did cigarettes because: of the physical
similarities between the: Tittle ciga:rsand' cigarettes,, includsng, their
size and shape;, the number in a package, the burning rate, and the
tio'ne it takes to smoke them.

Conclusions
Pipe and' cigar smokers in the United States as a group: experience
overall mortality rates thatare slightly higher than those of'nonsmok-
ers, but these rat'es are substantially lower than those of cigarette
smokers: This: appears to be due to the fact that the total exposure to
smoke that a pipe or cigar smoker receives f'rom! these prodncts is
relatively low. The typical cigar smoker smokes fewer than five cigars
a day and the typicall pipe smoker smokes less than 20~pipefuls, a day.
Most pipe and cigar smokers report that they do not inhale thesmoke.
Those~ who do inhale, inhale infrequently and only slightly. As aa
result, the harmful effects of' cigar and pipe smoking appear to be
largel'ylimited to increased death rates from cancer at those si'teswhi&
are exposed to the smoke of these products. Mortality rates from
cancer of t!heora~l cavity, intrinsic~andc extrinsic larynx, pharynh,and
esophag us are approximately equal in users of cigars, pipes, and ciga-
rettes. Inhalation~ is evidently not necessary to expose tliese sites to
tobacco smoke. Althougli these are serious forms of cancer, they account
for only about 5 percent of the cancer mortality atnongmen.Coronaryg heart disease,, lung
cancer,,emphysema, chronic: bronehitis,,
cancer of the pancreas, and cancer of the urinary bladder are diseases
which are clearly~~associa.ted! with cigarettesmoking,but'fior cigar and
pipe smokers death rates from these diseases are not greatly elevatedd
above the rates of'nonsmokers. These diseases seem to ~ depend on mod-
erate to deep inhalation to bring the smoke into direct contact with
the issue at risk or to allow certain constituents, such as carbon mon-
oxide; to be systematically absorbed through the lungs ortoaffsct theternporal patterns of
absorption of other constituents such asnicotinethat can be absorbed eitherr through the oral mueosa
or through the
luna . Evidence from countries where smokers t'end to consume more
cigars and inhale them to a greater degree than in the L; nited States
indicates thatt rates of lung cancer become elevatedl to lev,els approach-
ing those of'cigarette smokers.
AvailWe data on the chemical constituents of cigar, pipe, and''
cigarette smoke suggest that there are marked similarities in the com,
position of these products. Pipe andl cigar smoke, however, tends to
be more alkaline than cigarette smoke, and fermented tobaccos com-
monly used in pipes and cigars contain lpss reducing sugars than the
rapidlyy dried varieties commonly used in cigarettes.
Experimental evidence suggests that little difference exists between~
the tumorigenic activities of' tars obtained from cigar or cigarette
229
0

tobaccos. Malignant ski6 tumol:s appear somewhat more rapidly andd
in larger numbers in animals whose skin has been painted with cigar
tars than in those'animals painted with cigarette tars:
One must conclude that some risk exists from smoking cigars and
pipes as they are currently used iii the' United States, but for most
d'iseasesthis is small' compared to the risk of smoking cigarettes as they
are commonly used. Nevertheless, changes in patterns of''usage that
wouldbring, about increased exposure either through~ inerease& indi-
vidual use of cigars and pipes or increased inhal4ation of pipe andcigar
smoke have' the potential of producing risks not unlike those now
incurred byeigarette smokers. iV'Iecllanical or, chemicalmodificationsl of pipe tobacco and cigars
that «oul'd' result in a smoke more eompat-
ible' with inhalation couldl llav.ethi'seffeet.

Introduction
II
Although it has long been held by athletes andl coaches that cigarette
smoking, is associated with "shortness of wind"' and impaired perform-
ance, until recently there has been lit't1E scientific evidence W support
this view. In the past few years, a variety of studies have appeared
dealing with~ the effect of cigarette smoking on the response of' man
to exercise. TI he following is a review of these studies.t1ge; sex, training,, health, weight, and
other factors are known to
infiuence exercise performance. Because rnostof the investigations
were carried, out in healthy,, young male volunteers, the groups were
quite comparable with regard to age, sex, andl health; however, weight,,
training,, and other factors were often inadequately controlled.
Furthermore, problems in study: design and statistical analysis limit
the value of several of'these studies.1Vlany forrns of exercise were performed' in t'hese
experiments, in-
cluding : pedaling ai bicycle ergometer, running on a treadmill, running
on a track,, swimming, step climbing, gripping a hand dynamometer,
and doing several different exercise activities as part of a battery of
tests; Small to maximum amounts of' work were carriedl out in the
various studies revewed.
Studies of Smokers
I
Most of the studies of habitual! cigarette smokers followed a similar
format with respect to smoking: (a) The subject's refrained f'rom,
smoking, for a few hours prior to testing, and (b) two test runs were
performed', one without smoking, and one in which smoking imme-
diately preceded; the exercise or was incorporated with, the exercise
protocol.
Several investigators (1,,15, 28) studied the effect of smoking on,
maximum grip strength. W,ilTgoose (28) reported a greater mean per-
cent recovery of grip strength after the nonsmoking trial than after
the smoking trial. Kay and Karpovich (15) and'i Anderson and Brown
(1) all followed a protocol similar to that of Willgooseexcept thatt
theyrandomiaed the smoking, and nonsmoking trials, andsubstitutied
241'

ai "placebo" cigarette for the nonsmoking triaL In neither of these
studies were statistically significant diff'erences observed between the
grip scores for the smoking and nonsmoking trials.
Reeves and Morehouse (24) administered ai battery of tests to 15
collegesstudents.Thetest~swere:! A tapping t.est~, a strength, testl, a
jumping test,and t'~heshortforrnof theHa~rvard steptest., Npstatis~-
ticall'ysigni'ficant differences in perfoiniancewerenoted under con-
ditions of smoking or nonsmoking.
A total of 32 college studentls. from intermediate swimming classess
abstained from smoking for 15 minutes2liours, and 12 hours in a study
conducted by Pleasants, et al. (23). Following the abstinence, they
swain distances of 100 and 200 yards. Althouglx act~ual' swim,mingtiimeswere not published, the
authors reported no statistically significant
differences betaz-een the mean swimming times after the different
periods of' abstinence for either distance.
In 1946, Juurup: and '-NIuido (13) carried out several experiments
in whi'ch three young cigarette smokers exercised on a Krogh's bi'-
cycle ergometer. Smoking was found to increase the pulse rate at
rest as well as during exercise. Although the effect was less con-
sistent than on the heart rateT smoking was also associated with
elevatedd blood pressure. Smoking had no effect on oxygen consump-
tion. Henry and! Fitzhenry (12), in 1949, using the bicycle ergometer,
also found that smoking exerted no effect on, oxygen consumption.
In the same year,K~arpoviclii and Hale (14) studied bicy.cleergometerperformance in eight young men.
In all subjects, the average riding
time was better in, nonsmoking tests than, in smoking testei, how-
ever, the results were statistically significant for only three of' thee
eight subjects.
Kerrigan, et al. (16), more recently measured direct arterial blood
pressure, heart rat'e; and cardiac output in 25 habitual smokers at
rest and after exercise. Smoking two cigarettes produced statistically
significant (P<0.01) increases in cardiac index, heart rate; and arter-
ial mean pressure compared to the immediately preceding controll
period. Exercise after smoking resulted in~ an increase in cardiac in~
dex over either t'heresting, period, or the exercise peri'od, which fol-
lbwed abstinence; the resultant cardiac index appeared to be approxi'-
mat'ely the sum of the exercise and smoking, effects.. Exercise tests
preceded by smoking, were also associated wtih sigi7ificantly higher
(P<0:01) and more prolonged elevations of'bloodpressurethanthosenot preceded by smoking:.
In the study by Goldbarg; et al. (,1'1)of nine habitual smokersper,formingsubmaximal exercise on a
bicycle ergometer;car.diovas-
cularresponses were measured via pulmonary and subclavian artery
catheters. At rest, after smoking, the mean cardiac indlex and mean
heart rate increased.D'urialg successively increa6ing levels of exercise,
thehcart rate was ;reater and stroke indexl,o~~-er than values for

cotnpalrabl'ework before smoking : The, net effect of smoking was to
decrease theeffi;icency of the heart duringexercise in the upright
position by causing ai smaller stroke volume and a higher heart
rat'e.
Rode and Shephard (wS)' investigatedi near maximal treadmill exer-cise performance in six habitual
smokers. A 1-dity abstinence froml
cigarette smoking was associatedl with a, 13- to 70-percent dpcrease in
the oxygen cost of breathing. Abstinence was also followed by a slmv-
ing of the heart rate and a decrease in expiratory minute volume after
exercise.
The study of KrtunhoTz;Iet al. (18) is different from those cited pre-
viouslyy in that bicycle ergometer exercise performance was measured
in habitual smoliers, both before andl after 3' to ~ G weeks~of I abstinence.
Among the 10 subaects who abstained from smoking for 3i «eeks,Ithere
was alstatisticallysignificant (P< 0.05) decrease in heartrate; oxygen
debt, and ratio of oxygen debt t'o: total increase in oxygen uptake pro-
duced by the 5i minutes of exercise..
Using a "double 9-inch progressive step test" Rode and Shephard
(25~) studiedi several hund'redparoticipants of a smoking withdrawall
clinic at the time of entry andl at a 1-year foll'owup. Among, those
R ho returned for the followup andl `sho gave up smoking, absolute
aerobic power increased insigniticalntly, ; however, the relative aerobic
power diminished in both sexes among those who q,uit smoking because
of the veight gain experienced.
Studies Comparing Smokers to Nonsmokers
t
V
Ath;letic Per f'orm-ance
In 1968 Cooper,,et al. (6) evaluated 419 airmen during their initial
6.reeks on active duty in the USAF. A 12-minute rnaximuml running
test .vas performed at least 1 hour after cigarette smoking. The meann
distance covered in 12 minutes by the nonsmokers was sigiiificantly
greater (PG0:05) than that covered by the smokers at the beginning,
tliemiddle, and the end of training. All cat'legoriesofsmokers and non-smokers improved their
performance at the end of training; however,l
the maximum change in performance oflthose smoking 10 to1:30 cig-
arettes per day was significantly(P<a:001) less than that ofnon-smokers..
David (y )~ administered a battery of t'leststo88 milritary.personliel~
aged 19 to 39 y.ears. A 1I-mille run ,%vasinchided in theAesting. and cig.-arette smok~ing«-as
associated .vithasignificant decrease in perform,
ance in this event.
243

Some 45~ special forces soldiers were investigated' at sea level and
13,000: feet above sea level by Fine (8). The subjects were randomly:
assigned to a placebo group or an acetazolamide treated group. Cig-
arett'e smoking was positively correlated to decrements in 600-yardd
running performance from sea level to: altitude in both groups.
Pleasants (22)1 studied 106 students from intermediate university
swimming classes.Swimmingtimeswere: measured for 100-and 200-
y"urd distanees, before and after tlrainingand for 800-yard distancesaf'ter training. The: mean
swimming times of nonsmokers were less
than thoseof' srnokers, insix of' seven listed categories,, bu~tt these dif-
ferences were not statistically signiificant..
Bzcycle Ergometer Performancz
Chevalier, et al. (5) investigated'r cardiovascular parameters in 32
young physicians after a stiandard 5-minute ergometer test.Oxy,gen
debt accumulation among smokers was significantly (P'G0.01) greater
than among nonsmokers. The heart rate at rest and 3 minutes after
exercise was significantly (P<0:02') faster in smokers than in non-
smokers.
Using a 5-minute ergometer test, 18' housestaff physici'ans half' of
whom smoked, were investigated by Krumholz, et al. (17). They noted
the foldowi'ng:, Oxygen debt accumulation after exercise was signifi-
cantly (P'G'0.02) greater insmokers thannon-smokersT t'he ratio~of thee
oxygen debt' to totall increased oxygen uptake during exercise was sig-
nificantly (P<0:001) greater in smokers than in nonsmokers" andd
the diffusing capacity at rest and with exercise was significantly
(;P < 0.05 )! decreasedi ini smokers compared to nonsmokers..
Kerrigan, et al. (16) studied cardiovascular parameters in smokers
and nonsmokers at rest, during, and after a 5-minute bicycle ergometer
ride. Cardiac index andd blood pressure values obtained during exercise
performed' immediately after smoking were greater than those found
in nonsmokers performing the same exercise. Similarlyheart rate and
bloodd pressure remained elevated forlbnger periods in thosewlio:
exercised immediately after smoking t~han in nonsmokers performing
the same task.
Aerobic capacity scores were. examined in 60 university stud'ent vol~
unteers~by Peterson and Kelley. (20)1. Subjects worked at submaximal
levels on ai bi~cycleergometer before;during; andl afteratra2ning
program. At all of these interti-.alis, nonsmokers had significantly
(Ia<0.05)i higher mean aerobic capacitiy scores thani smokers. Both
groups increased their aerobic capacity during training but non-
smokers consistently performed better t;hroughout training,

In 11960 Blackburn,, et all. (4) carriedl out, severall measurements of' II
cardiovasculiir function after different amounts of treadmill exercise
were performed by 2?33' professional men, 15'J~ university studentsand
414 railroad workers. The differences between the smokers and non-
smokerswereof' smalll magnitude. Basal otygen consumption was '
slightly higher in smokers than in nansnolcers., Also, re sting, pulse
rates were higher in smokers of most groups.
Coope«,et al. (6)~ studied 47outof' 410' airmen with, treadmill test-ing.

A total of 377 proslaectiveC~aanidfian firemen performed the: I3'alke-
Ware test of «rork capacityy in treaKhuill' studies carried out by Glass-
ford and FIowell (10). The meatt perforniaiice scores of nonsmokers
were significantly (P< 0.01)greatertlian those of smokers.
The effect of vitamin C suphlhnientation ou t'readmill exercise: per-
formance~ was investigated in 40 ~ mal,e volunteers by Bailey, et all (13).
Significant differences in orygen utiliaation andventilatoryf'unction between sm~okeisandl

Masinial oxygen intake during treadmill exercise was esamined by
McDbnough, et al., (l9)' in 86heallhy, middls-aged male~ volunteers.Cigarette smoking was one of six
variables which together provided

Dliscussvon.
Most of'the studies in habitual cigarette smokers compared exercise
performance in "smoking"' and "nonsmoking" runs after onIyy a f'ew
hours of abstinence. In some studies, smoking ad'versel'y~, affected per-
fbrmance (11, 13,,14,, 16; 18, 06, 28) ,, while in others it did not (1, 12
1523,,2/).Some of these apparently discrepant results are due to dif-
ferences in methodolbgy and in amounts and types of work performed..
l[n, al1 ofl the more recent studies of habitual smokers in which, moderate
to near maximal amounts of work were performed and sophisticatedl
measurements of oxygen transport and cardiopulmonary function
were made, impairment of function during smoking trials was found.
(11;16;18, 26')i.
Thedataof'Krumholz, et al.(18): alsoraisethe question of whether
residual effects ofe cigarette smoking infllaence "nonsmoking"'trials per=
formed after a, fe.vhours ofl abstinence; they found statistiicall'y sig-
nificant decreases in heart rate and oxygen debt produced by exercise
after 3 weeks of cessation.
The work ofl Rode and Shephard (25)' suggests that physical fitness
improves with cessation, but t'1iisimprovement maybenegatedl if the
subject gains a substantial amount of~ weight after~giving up smoking;
Several investigators compared exercise performance or postexer-
cise cardiopulmonary function of smokers to nonsmokers. Although
only minor differences between smokers andl nonsmokers were found
in a few of these studies (3; 4', 22),, in most of them (5, 6; 7, 8,,10, 16;.
17,,20, 29): the performance or function of the nonsmokers was better
than that of the smokers: Both nonsmokers and smokers improved
their performance wi'th~ tiraining, but nonsmokers maintained their ad-
vantage throughouttraining (6, 20).
Biomechanisms
The citedlstudies indicate that cigarette smoking exerts it'sadverse
eff'ect on exercise performance through several mechanisns.. Cigarette
smoking appears to impair cardiac l~erformance during exercise by
increasing, the heart rate and exerting a variable effect on cardiac
246

output (.5,11;,13, 1'6;1826, 29). Cigarette smoking is associ'ated' with.
an increased osygen, debt after exercise (5, 18). Also, one study indi-
cated that the oxygen cost of hyperventilation was greater among
smokers than among nonsmokers (26).
Some of these adverse effects of' smoking, on oxidative metabolism
are mediated by the elevated carboxyhemogTobini leuels found in
smokers. COexerts these effectsthroughone~or moreofl the following,
mechanisms: (a) Reduction of the amount of hemoglobin avaiIablie for
oxygen transport, (b): shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation,
curve to the left~ with, consequentiRlterference~ in oxygen release at
the~ tissue level~ (c)~ induction of arterial hypoxemia4 and (d) possible
interference with tliehomeost'a~tic mechanism by which 2,3,DPG
controlsthe affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen (2T);. Because carboxy-
hemoglobin has a half'Iife in the body of'~ at least 3 to:4 hoursits infi!uL
ence may: still be measurable several hours after abstinence from
smoking (27).
AX recent investigation of' maximal muscular exercise d'uring CO in-
toxication in five male volunteers demonstrated reduced maximal Oz
consumption in spite of a much higher heart rate and a relative hyper-
ventilation (21).
Astrand and Rodahl'' (2) commented recently on the adverse effect
of' cigarette smoking on oxygen transport :"Al1 other factors being,
equal~ a reduction in the oxygen-transporting capacity is associated,
with a corresponding reduction in physicali performance capacity dur-
ing, heavyormaximall work ***. Because a regwl'arphysical train-
ing program only increases the maximal oxygen uptake by some 10 to
20 percent, a 5- to 10~percent reduction in maximal aerobic power duee
to smoking may play a si'gnificantrole in many types of'athletic events
and in very heavy work."
Other studies cited in this review document the adverse effect of
smoking on pulmonary diffusing capacity (18) and on pulmonary
function with exercise (6,29).
