Foreword
The Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 (Pub-
lic Law 89-92) requires that the Secretary of Health, Education, and
Welfare submit regular reports to the Congress on the health conse-
quences of smoking, together with any legislative recommendations
he may wish to make.
This 1967 Surgeon General's Report was prepared to provide the
Secretary and the public with a review of the research findings which
have taken place in smoking and health in the approximately 3% years
which have elapsed since the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee
issued its monumental 1964 report. Part I of this document was in-
cluded as part of the Secretary's 1967 Report which he sent to Congress
in July 1967. Part II, which provides detailed discussions of the re-
lationship of smoking to specific diseases, is issued here for the first
time.
The 1967 report represents a review of more than 2,000 research
studies published since the 1964 report. These additional studies con-
firm and strengthen the conclusion of the Surgeon General's Advisory
Committee that: "Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient
importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial
action." '
In a separate section of this report, acknowledgments have been
made for the help of numerous scientists both within and outside the
Public Health Service, who participated in the preparation of this
report. These include the 10 distinguished scientists who made up the
Surgeon General's 1964 Advisory Committee, all of whom were kind
enough to review part I of the 1967 report before its publication. A
special word of thanks is due Leonard M. Schuman, M.D., one of the
1964 committee members, who advised the staff in the final editing of
the entire document.

THE NATURE OF THIS REPORT
. ... ......... .:...,'4St".-.-....,..,.-
This report which provides a summary of current information on the
health consequences of smoking, is based on the review of the research
reports which have become available since the study of the Surgeon
General's Advisory Committee was released. Public Health Service
staff members consulted the literature and requested additional infor-
mation or interpretations of the published data from the research
scientists when needed. During this review a complete bibliography,
containing some 5,700 citations, was compiled; it is now in manu-
script form and will be published shortly (19).
The advice and comments of experts within the Public Health Serv-
ice, particularly the Bureau of Disease Prevention and Environmental
Control and the National Institutes of Health, as well as of specialists
outside the Public Health Service, were solicited especially on matters
involving judgment and evaluation. , ... ,. . •., . . .
The general criteria used by the Surgeon General's Committee have
been followed. First, epidemiological data were evaluated to determine
whether an association exists. In judging the significance of the as-
sociation, its consistency, strength, specificity, temporll relationship,
and coherence were utilized. The convergence of evidence from animal
experiments, clinical and autopsy studies, and population studies re-
mains the essential basis for evaluation of the significance of the
associations identified. . . . .
. This report presents, under the following headings, the major fmd-
ings of research studies published in the past 3 to 4 years:
1. Smoking and Overall Mortality.
2. Smoking and Overall Morbidity.
3. Smoking and Cardiovascular Diseases. -.
4. Smoking and Chronic Bronchopulmonary Diseases (Non-neo-
plastic). .
5. Smoking and Cancer.
6. Other Conditions and Research Areas. .
Each of these sections is introduced by pertinent conclusions from
the Surgeon General's 1964 Report, which are followed by discussion
and conclusions of the preaent study.

among physicians in general, and during the time that lung cancer
There are no adequate data to evaluate the benefit of reductions in
exposure that are more modest than those achieved by complete cessa-
tion, although it seems reasonable to assume that a substantial reduc-
tion in exposure is likely to be accompanied by some reduction in risk

tality for those who give up smoking as also reflecting a direct altera-
case can now be made for interpreting reduced rates of overall mor-
These findings are shown in Table 2, which has been derived from
Doll's report (7). The lung cancer death rate among men in England
and Wales increased from 1.49 per 1,000 in the period 1954-57 to 1.86
per 1,000 in the period 1962-64, a rise of 25 percent. At the same time,
the lung cancer death rate for British physicians dropped from 1.09
per 1,000 in the first period to 0.76 per 1,000 in the second period, a
reduction of 30 percent. This reduction in death rates from lung can-
cer among all physicians is larger than would have been anticipated
from examining only the experience of those physicians who had
stopped smoking before the study began and indicates that the ex-
perience of ex-smokers in prospective studies probably understates
the benefits of giving up smoking.
With these findings the case for cigarette smoking as the principal
cause of lung cancer is overwhelming. The reduction of rates eaperi-
enced in ea-smokers as compared with continuing smokers is clearly
shown in the case of lung cancer to be a reflection of a significant
change in risk. Since the concern that selective bias might have ac-
counted for the earlier findings has been contraindicated, a stronger
length of the cessation period increases.
as the rate of smoking among British physicians decreases and the
report by Doll (7) suggests that this trend is becoming more marked
as against another population in which it is not common. A more recent
the effect of giving up smoking is judged by the mortality results in
an entire population in which the giving up of smoking is common
rates were rising in the male population of Great Britain. This situa-
tion is not unlike that of a controlled cessation experiment in which
relative to those who do not reduce their exposure.

Smoking and OveraHl Mortality
QviONCLIISIONSOFTHE SIIROl GENIIIhLiS. 1961 R$PORT
CIGARETTE smoking is associated witk a 70-percent increase in
the age-specific death rates of males, and to a lesser extent with in-
creased death rates of females. The tot'al number of excess deaths
causally related to cigarettee smoking in the U.S, population cannot
be accurately estimated« In view of the continuing andmounting evi-
dence from many sources, it is the judgment ofl the Committee that
cigarette smoking contributes substantiallly to mortality from, certain
speeifie diseases and to the overall death rate.
In general, the greater the number of cigarettes smoked daily, the
higher the dhath rate. For men. who smoke fewer than 10~cigarettes
a day,. according to the seven prospective studies, the death rate from
all causes is about 40 percent higher than for nonsmokers. For those
who smoke from 10 to 19 cigarettes a day,, it is about 70 percenthigher
than for nonsmokers; f'orr those whoo smoke 20 to39 a day, 90 percent
higher; and for those who smoke 40.or more, it is 120 percent higher.
Cigarette smokers who stopped smoking,before enrolling in the
seven studies have adeath rate about 40 percent higher than non-
smokers, as against 70 percent higher for current cigarette smokers.
Men who began smoking before age 20 have a substantially higher
death rate than those who began after age 25. Compared.with non-
smokers, the mortality risk of cigarette smokers, after adjustments for
differences in age, increases with duration of smoking (number of
years), andl is higher in those who stopped after age 55 than for those
who stopped at an earlier age..
In two studies which recorded the degree of inhalation, the mortality
ratio for a.given amount of smoking was greater for inhalers than for
noninhalers.
.
The ratio of death rates of smokers to that of nonsmokers is highest
at the earlier ages. (40-50) represented in.these studies, and decPiness
with increasingg age.. -
Possible relationships of death rates to other forms. of tobacco: use
were also investigated '•'. The death~ rates for men smoking less
than 5 cigars a day are about the same as for nonsmokers. Fbr men
smoking more than 5 cigars daily death rates are slightly higher.
There is.some indication: that these kigher death rates. occur primarlly
in menn who have been smoking more than 30 years and', who. inhalethe smoke to sorn e dhgnee. The
death rates for pipe smokers are little.
ifat all higher than for nonsmokers„even for men who smoke10 or
more pipefuls a day and for men who have smoked pipes more than
30 years,,

ers had a comparatively lower rate,. which was still 36 percent above
the rate for nonsmokers "' * Men smoking combinations of ciga-
ret'tes plus cigars and/or pipe also had elevated death rates for overalll
mortality,but these were not elevated to the same eatent as those of
men smoking only cigarettes.
"The death rates for overall mortality of pipe smokers and cigar
smokers were not appreciably different from those of nonsmokers;
"For cigarette: smokers as compared to nonsmokers, overall mor-
tality ratios were elevated after 5 years of smoking at any t'ime in
their life and remained elevated as.long as they continued to smoke
cigarettes..
"Mal'e current cigarette smokers who imhalerl had a death rate for
overall mortality 52 percent higher than that of those who did not
inhale.
"An urban/rural comparison was made between males of equivalent
cigarette smoking habits and nonsmokers. It was found that the
death rate for overall mortality of. urban. dwellers (persons with
a history of 5 years or more.of city residence) was 12 percent higher
than that for rural dwellers of comparable smoking habit$:
"Respondents were classifiedl into occupational groups based on
their history of occupation. No evidence was found in this study of
clear-eut associations between cause of death and occupation. Further,
occupation didl not appear to modify tlhe established asaociationn of
cigarette smokers with death rates in excess of those of nonsmokers."
SOME GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Iky
The problem of how best to measure the relationship between smok-
ing and mortality has been discussed in the Surgeoni GeneraI's 1964
Report as well as iir some of the prospective stludy reports. As the
amount of data. available. increases, the person-years of observations
in the many population subgroups that are worthi examining increases
so.that stable rates may be computed and compared. A brief discussion
of three measures of comparison available and their utility seems
desirable as confusion frequently arises over these measurea
1. Mortality Ratios: Obtained by dividing the death rate for
a classification of smokers. by the death rate of a comparable
group of nonsmokers.
2.. Differencesin. Mortality Rates.: Obtainerl by subtracting
from the death rate for smokers, the death rate of' a eomparable
group of nonsmokers.
3: Excess Deaths: Obtained by subtraeting, from the number
of deaths occurring,in agroup of smokers„ the number of deaths
11

3. Exceea Deatha aa a Percentage of Totad Deatha-As with mor-
tality ratios, this statistic appears to be highest in the age group 45-54
where it reaches 43 percent in one group of men and 38 percent in
the other. Hammond's data by 5-year age groups show the highest
rate at ages 45-49, where it is 44 percent. Reviewing both study groups
it appears that for men between the ages of 35 and 60 approximately
one-third of all deaths that occur are excess deaths in the sense that
they would not have occurred as early as they did if cigarette smokers
had the same death rates as the nonsmoking group. For women, the
percentage is much lower, reaching a peak of 9 percent of all deaths
in age group 45-54. It should be noted that this measure not only de-
pends on the differences in death rates between the smokers and the
nonsmokers, but also on the proportion of smokers in the group. Thus,
even with a large difference in rates between smokers and nonsmokers,
a population with very few smokers would have very few excess
deaths. This measure is therefore an indicator of the public health
sigruficmrce of the differences found since it measures the number of
people affected and therefore the magnitude of the problem for society
as a whola
Once the magnitude of the excess is identified the problem becomes
one of determining (1) how much of the eacess would not have oc-
curred if it had not been for cigarette smoking and (2) how much
would have occurred anyhow. It should be noted that much of the ex-
cess has already been identified as belonging in the first category. Of
the remainder, little of the excess has been clearly identified as belong-
ing in the second category-that is, not caused by smoking. With most
of that remainder there is uncertainty as to the category in which it.
belongs.
MEasunes oF Earosoxs
Studies involving smoking, whether epidemiological or behavioral,
have been concerned with measures of exposure to tobacco smoke. For
the most part, these studies have been restricted principally to the in-
dex of number of cigarettes smoked over a specified period of time,
usually an "average day." The heavy reliance on numbers of cigarettes
alone as a measure has produced important findings but it has possi-
bly obscured others. The new reports on the prospective studies have
provided a substantial amount of data to support the concept that
many elements should enter into an overall measure of exposure. Such
factors as age at beginning smoking, duration of smoking, and inhala-.
tion have all shown some independent contributions to the overall
effect, along with numbers of cigarettes. A recent report (12) has at-
tempted to develop a more adequate measure of exposure in which
various individual components of dosage would be combined to form
composite scores.

Service introduced questions about cigarette smoking into iits National
HeaIth. Survey,., beginning in. July 1964. This. Surveyis a continuing
study conducted'since195Z.
Inn carrying on th is.Su.rvey,interviewers eaahh year vi'sit 42,006W fami-
lies (selected as a, probability sample of the civilian, noninstitiutional
population of the United Stat'es)) and'question them about illness, dis-
ability, and days absent from work because of illness„as well as the
nature of tfiee illness.. In the year ending in JYme.1965, they inquired
(after all other questions about headtlh had been asked) about the smok-
ing habits of'persons in the family who were 17 years of age or over.
The National Health Survey is concerned with three overall meas-
uresof the impact of illness.
1. Days Lost From Work.-These are days absent from job or busi'-
neasbecause of illness or injiury. They apply onlly to those persons
who are currently employed and are therefore heavily concentrated in
agegroups I7-64.. 2. Bed Dnys.-These are days when the person is sufficiently ill or
disabled so as t'o spend all or most of' the day in bed,, either at home
or ini a hospital. All days spent as a hospital patient are included.
3.. Days of Restvicted Activzty.-These are days when.a person cuts
down, his usual activities for most of a day because of an illness or
an injury. Dayslost from work because of'illnessand bed days are, of
eourse, counted as days of restricted activity. This represents the most
general measure of di'sabillty available in the United States today:,
Table 3 summarizes the findings in a form similar to that used for
summarizing, the overall mortality utilizing t.hreemeasures of. mor-
bidity effect: Morbidity ratios,,difPerences in rates,,and'eaeess days of
d'isability.

1. Nlew data.confirm and to some extent strengthen the conclu-
sions of the Surgeon General's 1964 Report.
2. Cigarette smoking is the most important of'the causes of chronic'
non-neoplastic bronchopulimonary diseases in the United States. It
greatly increases the risk of dying not only from both chronic bron.
clutisbut also firom pulmonary emphysema..
3. Cessation of smoking is followed by a reduction in mortality from
chronic bronchopulmonary disease relative to the mortality of those
who continue to smoke.
4. Even relatively young cigarette smokers frequently have demon-
strable respiratory sy~mptoms and reduction in~ ventilat;ory function.

4. Cessation or appreciable reduction of cigarette smoking
could delay or avert a substantial portion of deaths which occur
from lung cancer, a substantial portion of the earlier deaths and
excess disability from chronic bronchopulmonary diseases, and a
portion of the earlier deaths and excess disability of osrdiovas-
+ cularorigin. f: A51~'f.i:'Y't,}'-4 .
NATURE OF RECENT RESEARCH FINDINGS `
~ Since the Surgeon General's Report was published in January 1964,
there has been a proliferation of additional studies and reports on
smoking research. In the 12 years'preceding that report, some 3,000
articles were published reporting research; since 1964, there have been
ry.t more than 2,000 additional studies.
az These studies have helped to clarify the role that age plays in the
rt; relationship of smoking to health; the similarities and differences in
the ways in which men and women are affected by smoking; and the
influences and effects of stopping smoking, particularly in the case of
lung cancer where there is significant data to show that sharp reduc-
tions in lung cancer deaths follow closely reductions in cigarette
smoking. The studies also suggest the importance of a variety of
measures of exposure; add substantial new information on the magni-
tude of the morbidity problem associated with smoking; and provide
more adequate data upon which to base estimates of the magnitude
of the mortality problem.
Historically, concern about the effects of smoking began with ob-
servations of the extremely high frequency with which lung cancer
patients were identified as cigarette smokeia Thesa observations took
i on a fuller meaning with the first publication of the prospective studies
"i' in 1954 when higher overall death rates among cigarette smokers
were identified. The rates were found to exceed the difference that
could be accounted for by lung cancer alone. Until that time, the
possibility remained that although more cigarette smokers appeared to
suffer from lung cancer, if there were no significant excess overall
mortality, some other cause or causes of mortality would have had to
be underrepresented among cigarette smokers. The Surgeon General's 1964 Report concluded that
cigarette smokers
do have higher death rates than their nonsmoking counterparts. This
has changed the emphasis of the present problem away from the ques-
tion tion "does cigarette smoking cause diseasel" to the more precise
questionsof: . . .- ...< .. : •.:. . ~. _..:..: ,

(iONCLII6IONS OF THE .5't7ROEON', (I`ENERAL'81964 REPORT
Gun.gCarcer
1.. Cigarette smoking is causally related to lung cancer in men; the
magnitude ef'the.effech of cigarette smoking far outweighs all other
factors. The data for women, though less eatensive; point in the same,
direction.
2: The. risk of developing lung cancer increases with duration of'
smoking andl the number of cigarettes smoked per day, and is dimin-
ished by discontinunng smoking.
3. The risk of'developing cancer of the lung for tlhe combined groupp
of pipe smok.ers,, cigar smokers„ and! pipe and cigar smokers is greater
Ghan for nonsmokers,, but much less than for cigarette smokers.
The data are insufficient to. warrant a conclusion for each gFoula
individually.
Oral Cancer
1. The causal relationship of the.smoking of pipes to the develop.
inent of cancer of the Iip appears to be established.
2'.. Althouplr there are suggestions of relationships between cancer
of other specific sites of the oral cavity and the several forms of tobacco
use;.their causal impliications cannot at present be stated.
Laryngeal Cancer
Evaluation of the evidence leads to the judgment that cigarette
smoking is a significant factor in the causation of laryngeal cancer in
the male.
Eeophageal Cancer
The evidence on the tobacco-esophageal cancer reiationship support's
the belief that an association exists. However, the data are not ade-
quate to decide whether the,relationship is causal.
Cancer of Urirurry Bladder
Available datia~ suggest an association between cigarette smoking
and urinary bladder cancer in the male butl are notsufficient to sup-
port judgment on the causall significance of. this association.

1. Cigarette smoking is the~most important of the causes of chronic
bronchitis m.the Unitedl States, and imcreases,the risk of dying, from
chroniobronchitis.
2. A relationship eaists, between pulmonary emphysema and. cig-
arette smoking but it has, not been established that.the relationship is
causal. The smoking of cigarettes is associated with an increasedd risk
of dying from pulmanary emphysema.,
3.. For the bulk of' the population of the United States, the impor-
tance of eigarette.smoking as a cause of chronic bronchopulmonary
disease, is much greater thani that of atmospheric pollution or occupa-
tional eaposures:.
4.. Cough;,sputham prodYnction, or the two combined are consistently
more frequent among , cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers.
5.Cigarette smoking is associated with a reduction in ventilatory
funetion- Among, males,cigarette smokers. have agreater prevalence
of breathlessness than nonsmokers.,
6.Cigarette smoking does not appear to cause asthma.
7. Although deatli, certification shows that cigarette smokers have
a moderately increased risk of death fromm influenaa and pneumonia,
an assoeiation.of cigarette smokingand infectious diseases is.notother-
wise substantiated.
CURRENT INFORMATIiON, 1967
Additional evidence from the four major prospective studies indi-
cates that cigarette smokers liave a markedly increased risk of' dying
from chronic bronchitis. and pulmonary emphysema. The range of
risk varies for cigarette smokers between three and 20 timesthe mor-
tality rates for nonsmokers, and depends in part on the total amount
smoked and the age, group studied. Female cigarette smokers have
similarly.increased mortality risks although. somewhat lower than
those for males. Cassation of cigarette smoking is followed by a lower
mortality risk relative to:o those:whocontinueto smoke. Generallyi,pipe

which would have occurred ifthat group of'smokers had ex-
perienced the same mortality rates as a comparable group of'
nonsmokers. In the examplc which~ follows this has been reported
as a percentage of'all deaths in the appropriate age group
Table 1 presents, in summary form all', three measures for five age
groups of. mem from both~ the U.S. veterans study and Hammond's
study andi for the same age groups of' women from the latter study.
The, statistics were derived from, the cited' publications to provide
reasonable comparability and may vary slightly from the figures
combined in ot'her ways; Also it should be noted that the age: groups
are not definedlidentical9y and the experience reported covers some-
what different time periods. The smoking group analyzed is "cur-
rent cigarette smokers," i.e., those who, were smoking at the time of'
enrollhnent into the:st.ud'y, and the comparison group. is "never smoked
regalktxly,"' i.e., those who hadl never been regular smokers of any
form of tobacco.
The number of'deaths im each age-sex group is given to indicate
the relative stability of the figures, in that column. Thedata in the
veterans study are largely concentrated in age groups 55-64 and6Cr74. In Hammond's study, age group
35-44 is less stable than the
succeeding groups both~ for men andl for womem
,
1. DY'orGality ILatios:-For men, these are at their highest in
age group 45-54,,d'iminishing in eaoh subsequent decade. In both
studies mortality ratios appear to be somewhat lower in the preceding
decade 3544. However, with the smaller numbers of cases available
in that age group, it may be that selectiive factors contribute to, the
finding. For women the mortality ratios are mueh smaller than for
men, although the same pattern is suggested. In general, a mortality
ratio has been considered tb refllectt the degree to which. a clkssifica-
tion variable identifies or may account for variations in death rates..
As such, it is a measure of relative risk whicll, indicates the importance
of that variable relative to uncontrolled variables-an indicator of
potential tiiological'aiynifioau:ce.
2.. Differences in NorttrdityRates.-These increase consistently
with increasing age in all three study groups, except for the oldest
age group in women where there is paactically no d'ifference in the
rates for smokers and nonsmokers. Differences between smokers' rat;es
and nonsmokers' rates are much, smaller for women than for men,
as are the d'eath rates themselves for men and women classified simi-
larly with respect to smoking. This measure reflects the added proba-
bility of d'eathh in a 1-year period for the smoker over that for the non-
smoker. As su& it is a measure of persarucD heaL2h aiyni'rioaa ce, a means for the individual to
estimate the addedd risk to which he is exposed.

not have occurred if people had not taken up cigarette smoking4
3. How much of this early mortality and excess disability
could be averted by the cessation or reduction of cigarette
smoking4 _ ::! . . . „
4. What are the biomechanisms whereby these effects take place
and what are the critical factors in these mechanisms4
To answer these questions one must not only study the details of
the relationship of overall mortality with cigarette smoking, one must
also turn to the specific causes of death and disability and to other
kinds of evidence. ..,: : ,
The research carried on since 1964 is of three principal varieties:
Epidemiological studies, especially those which involve surveys of
large portions of the population; a health survey which has revealed
new information about the relation between smoking and illness; and
a vast amount of experimental, clinical, pathological, and behavioral
research which adds to the understanding of the precise ways in which
smoking affects the body, plus other closely related or peripheral
information.
In the area of morbidity or illness, the primary addition to our
knowledge is from "Cigarette Smoking and Health Characteristics,"
a report (16) of the National Center for Health Statistics on the
frequency of illness among smokers and nonsmokers in a large proba-
bility sample of the U.S. population. Regarding epidemiological data,
new reports from four of the major population studies have been
published since 1964:
1. The Dorn study of smoking and mortality among U.S. vet-
erans (13).
2. Hammond's study on smoking in relation to the death rates
of 1 million men and women in 25 States (11).
3. The Doll and Hill study on the mortality of British physi-
cians in relation to smoking (8, 9,10) . .
4. A Canadian Smoking and Health Study of Canadian pen-
sioners, including veterans and dependents (1).
The principal features of the additional data provided by these
four studies are: (1) The extension of the time period of followup,
(2) the additional data available for specific age groups among men,
and (3) the inclusion of substantial data on women. In all, the pro-
spective study reports now available are based on more than 108,000
deaths, an increase of about 43,000 deaths over the 65,023 summarized
in the 1964 report. About 19,000 of these additional deaths were among
women.

Introduction
a.:
In January 1964, an Advisory Committee appointed by the Surgeon
General of the Public Health Service issued its report (15) on the
relationship between smoking and health.* The conclusions of that
Committee were summed up in the sentence: "Cigarette smoking is a
health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant
appropriate remedial actio¢" ,
In the 31h years since the publication of that report, an unprece-
dented amount of pertinent research has been completed, continued,
or initiated in this country and abroad under the sponsorship of
governments, universities, industry groups, and other entities. This
research has been reviewed and no evidence has been revealed which
brings into question the conclusions of the 1964 report. On the con-
trary, the research studies published since 1964 have strengthened
those conclusions and have extended in some important respects our
knowledge of the health consequences of smoking. _
The present state of knowledge of these health consequences can,
in the judgment -of the Public Health Service, be summarized as
follows: . .
1. Cigarette smokers have substantially higher rates of death
a¢d disability than their nonsmoking counterpaats in the popu-
lation. This means that cigarette smokers tend to die at earlier
ages and experience more days of disability than comparable
nonsmokers. ;
2. A substantial portion of earlier deaths and excess disability
would not have occurred if those affected had never amoked. .
3. If it were not for cigarette smoking, practically none of the
earlier deaths from lung cancer would have occurred; nor a sub-
stantial portion of the earlier deaths from chronic bronchopul-
monary diseases (commonly diagnosed as chronic bronchitis or
pulmonary emphysema or both) ; nor a portion of the earlier
deaths of cardiovascular origin. Excess disability from chronic
pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases would also be less.

General of the Public Health 9ervice." It te Creqnently referred to In this menu-
ecriPt as "the Surgeon General's 1964 Report." .

on one or another aspect of the problem of smoking and varied health
consequences'have been undertaken.
P$rrTc Un:cEx
The relationship between cigarette smoking, and death. rates from
peptic ulcer, especially gastric ulcer, is confiiTned. In addition, mor-
bidity data suggest a similar relationship, exists with the prevalence
of reported' disease from this cause.,
TOn.1CCG ADYRGYOFI.ti.
Tobacco amblyopia is now believed to, be a manifestation of nutri-
tional amblyopiay which is aggravated by the inhalation of tobacco
smoke.Various vitamin B, factor deficiencies may be involved and
there is evidence to suggestthat chronic Iow vitamin B,z levels may
potentiate the toaic effects of cyanide in tobacco smoke.
t~itRRffiOSIS OF THE. LIVER
Ihlcreased mortality of smokers from cirrhosis of the liver is found
in the, prospective studies.. This has generally been thought to be
largely secondary to an association between smoking and heavy con-
sumption of alcohol. Published data are inadequate to test this
interpretation..
MATr.RNAL. .SbTOBINO AND INFANT BIRTH'. WEIGHT
Further studies have confirmed the fact that . women who smoke
during pregnancy tendto have babies of lower birth weight, but
data.arelacking to determine either the mechanism or the significance
of this' finding.
P8YCIIOSOCIAE, ABPECTS'.
Therehas been a sharp increase.in the attention devoted to be-
havioral' research since the. Surgeon General"s. Report.. A number of
new concepts ha've been develbped: andlmore sophisticated multivariate
approaches are being used. However, because of the recency of these
stu'dl'ies, very little inthe way of'find'ings has beempubli'shed onwhich
firm conclusions may be based.

A dosage score was developed as a function of the average number
of cigarettes smoked per day, the "5tar" (smoke solids minus moisture)
rating of the brand of cigarette smokedy,and the portion of the ciga-
rette actualdy smoked..In ad'dition, qµestions, on both depth and fre-
quency of inhalation were developed. Nbrmative data have been ob-
tained from a national survey sample of'smokeis: In general, althoughh
the various measures refleeting, exposure are interrelated, there aremany individualswith high
exposure on one measure but, low ex-
posure on another. Furthermore~ there are systemati¢ dflfferences in
some of these measures of dosage between men and women, between
heavy and light smokers (by the usual criterion of numbers. of ciga-
rettes), etc. The existence of a dose-response.relat'ionship hetween ex-
posuree to cigarette smoke and the risks most clearly associated with
cigarette smoking is now generally accepted.
1i~'ynder:and Idoffmann (20) have shown in.laboratoryexperiments
with animals that the tum.origenicity of cigarette smokecan be
reduced.by alteration in t'he cigaretts.whi!ch reduces the "tar" and nico-
tine content. They use the term "indicator" for "tar" and nicotine con-
tent (the two measures tend to be used jointly since when one is high
the other tends to be high, unless the nicotine has been removed in
processing)., or other measures which, reflect t,his 'typeof relationship,
lacking the identification of specific agents which~ are responsible for
the effect. Bock,. Moore, and. Clark (2) have independently shown, a
similar variation in carcinogenic activity of tobacco "tar" obtained
from different typess of cigarettes..
The preponderance of scientific evidence strongly suggests that the
"tar" and nicotine content of cigarette smoke is a meaningful factor in
the measurement. of. dosage.
(r'ESeA1II0N OF, 5'MOHINU
The cessation of smoking is, of course, an extreme examplo of the
reduction of' dosaget. Data from the prospective studies show a reduc-
tion ini bot1t overall mortality and! mortality from specific diseases
among those who have stopped' smoking when compared with those
persons wlio continue to, smoke. This finding has been somewhat ob-
scuredi by the fact that, ill health is a fnequent cause of' giving up
smoking, so that death rates and disability rates for ex-smokers as a
group tend to be high for aminitial period of time following cessation.
Ifm this connection, the Study of British Physicians shows that
among the totaL grovp, of' physicians in the study (smokers, ex-
smokers, and those who never smokedy, combined) there was a rEdtrc-
tion in the standardized lung cancer death rate from; 0.69 per1,p00
in the first 5!years of'the stud'y (1951-56)~ to 0.64 per 1,000 in the sec-
ond 5 years.of'tlhe stud'y (1956-&1). This reduction occurred during

Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from coronary
artery dfisease than nonsmoking males, but it is not clear that the
association has causal significa.nce.
CURRENT INFG}R14fATIION, 1967
Important additional epidemiological information frorm five pros-
pective mortality studies confii'msAhat cigarette smokers havee sub-
stantiully higher death rates from coronary heart disease than do
nonsmokers. This is, true for both men and women although the
relationships are less marked in women. Cigarette: smoking also,
markedly increases an individual's susceptibilit'y to earlier death from.
eoronary disease. In general, mortality rates inerease with increasing
amounts smoked..
Cessation of cigarette smoking is followed by a reduction in the,
risk of coronary heart disease mortality relative to those who con-
tinued tm smoke. Epidemiological evidence indicates that there is
little risk of'coronaryheart disease associated with cigar and/or pipee
smoking.
The Surgeon General's 1964 Report indicated a median mortality
ratio. of 1.7 for current cigarette smokers, with a~ range from 1.5 to 2.0.
Additional evidence from the, Hammond study (11) indica.t,es that
young,smokers betweentheagesnf 45 and 54 havethe.highestmortality
ratios.--three times; as great for men, and twice as great for women if
they smoke 10' or more cigarettes perday,, as compared with non-
smokers. In general, the mortality ratio shows the most marked in-
creases with increasing amount smokedi for the ages under 65. Whil'e
the cigaret'te, smokers older than 65 haue lower mortality ratios than
those under 65y the public health significance of the relationship in
the older population is substantial because of the: large numbers of
people over 65' who die of' coronary heart disease.. Studies of U.S!,

who haue ever smoked cigarettes as'compared to t.hose who never
smoked.. This exeess loss is highest in men 4564, where it represents
28 percent of all days lost.

CURRENT INFORMATION, 1967
The primary addition to knowledge in the areas of smoking and.
overalll mortality comes from the four major populatiom studies.. Ad-
ditional periods of'followup have provided a.broader base from which.
it becomes possible to estimate the excess deaths related to cigarette
smoking iu the U.S. population, and from which firmer conclusions
may be.drawn as to the role of various exposure factors in the assoeia-_
tionsfound-
Thecontributions since 1964 of each of the four population studies
to the relation of smoking and overall mortality, as summarized by the
authorsi are set.forth below.,

"* * * the increased mortality risk associated with cigarette smok-
ing was foundi to be higher in the more recent calendar time. period'
than in the initial years of the study.

those who have never smoked are 1.7 for deaRh from all causes,,10.9'

associated with significantly lower mortality for smokers than for
nonsmokers;
"For all' categories of current smokers,, risk was related to amount smoked. The risk for cigarette
smokers was much greater thanthatn for
pipe or cigar smokers. Current smokers of cigarettes, cigars„ or pipes
experienced a mortality risk significantly greater than that for non-
smokers if they smoked more than four pipes or four cigarsd!aily or
more than an occassional cigarette.

PART II
Technical Reports on the
Relationship of' Smoking
to Specific Disease Categories
VJ

in the survey year;l 306' million, or 13 percent, were excess days lost
because of'the higher rates which exist among persons who have ever
smoked cigarettes as eompared' to those who never smoked. Excess
days as a]percentage total restricted activity days'was highestin men.
aged 4"0-64:
To help evaluate these general indices of morbidity as measuredi by
various kinds of disability days it is necessaryto turn to the conditions
which are reported more frequently by cigarette smokers than by non-
smokers: Since these are either self-reports or reports made by a re-
sponsible member of the househoddlfor others in the household, the
diagnostic accuracy of'the reports is obviously less than one could ob-
tain from direct medical examination. ?I evertheless, the bulk of' the
reports on chronic conditions reflect what a physician has previously
told the patient or the family with regard to a diagnosis, of the
condition.
Chronic conditions (one or more) are reported by 11 percent more
of the men and. 9 percent more.of the women who have ever smoked
cigarettes than by those who have never smoked', cigarettes. This is
especially high. in those who have reported their highest consumption
rate to haFe been over two packs a day (32 percent higher for men
and143 pereent higher for women). At the lower levels of consumption
the rates reported are 21 percent and 25 percent higher for those
smoking 21-40 cigarettes per day, bu6.only 6' percent higher for men
and 7 percent higher for women for those smoking 11-20 cigarettes per
day and onlly 1 percent higher for botL men andl women. who have
never smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day.The differences are
especially m arked among present smokers of more than two packs per
day whose rate of' reporting three or more chronic conditions is 73
percent higher for men and 143 percent higher for women than for
those who have never smoked cigarettes.
Applying differences in prevalence rates to the entire U.S. popula-
tion 17 years of age amdl over yields the estima6e that there are approxi-
mately 11 million more cases of' ehronie illness annually than there
would be if alli people had the same rate of. sickness as those who had
never smoked cigaret'tes:.A large:portion of these are accountediforby
conditions classified as "chronic bronchitis and emphysema,"' "heart
eonditions,p1 "peptie ulcers,"' and /0sinusitisl° All but the last of these
have previously shown substantially higher mortality rates among
cigarette smokers. Sinusitis, being a nonfatal condition, has not. been
identified iir the studies of mortalit.y previously reported.. The "heart
condition" relationship is most markedi in the.category °artleriosclero-
tic heart disease including coronary disease."
The age-adjusted incidence rate of acute conditions for persons who
hadl ever smoked. was 14 percent higher among men and 21 percent
higher among women than the rates for "never smokers."' However,

regularly; but the effect of smoking as measured.either by differences
in death rates or by mortality ratios is greater for men than for
women. At least part of this can be accounted for by the lower ex-
posure of~ female cigarette smokers whether measured by number of
cigarettes, duration of'smoking, or degree ol.inhalation.
4. Previous findings on. the lower death rates among those who
have discontinuued, cigarette smoking are confirmed and strengthened j
by the additional data, reviewed. Kahn's analysisof es-smokers in the
U:S. veterans study-controlling, for age.at whichthey beg^an smoking,
amount smoked, and current age-reveals a downward trend in risk
relative to those who continued'.to smoke asthe duration of time dis-'
contimued increases:. ThnBritish physician study„in wh'ucha downward
trend'is reported in lung cancer death rates for the entire group
(smokers, ex-smokers, and those who never smoked, combined)~ along
with a very sharp reduction in cigarette smoking by the physicians; is
the best available example of a controlled cessation experiment with~
reduction of risks resulting, from reduction of smoking. The findings
of this report support the view that epidemiological data showing,
lower death rates among former smokers than~ among continuing,
smokers:cannot be dismissed as due to~selective biasand that the bene-
fits of.giving up smoking have.probablybeen understated.
5: Cigarette smokeis: have higher rates of disability than non-
smokers, whether measured by days lost from work among the em-
ployed population, by days spent ill in bedy or by the most general
measure--da,ys of "restricted activity" dhe to illness or injury. Data
from the National Health Survey provide abase for estimating that in.
1 year in the United States an additional 77 millioa man-days were
lost from work, aw additional 88 millionn man-d'ays were spent ill in.
bed, and an additional 306 million man-days of restricted activity were experienced'because
cigamette smokeis.h avehiglier disabil ity rates than
nonsmokers. For men age 45'5 to 64, 28 percent off thedisabil'uty days
experienced representt the excess assoeiated with cigarette smoking.

causes as other forms.of cancer, cerebrovascular accidents, hypertem

from (a) cancer of the lung, (b) chronic bronchitis and emphysemay
(c) coronary thrombosis, without hypertension be taken as attributablE
to their cigarette smokii7g,, then the total' mortality from all causes at

The report states: "One of the striking characteristics of'. British
mortality in the last half-century has been the lack of improvement
in, the death rate of:men~ in.mid'dle life. In cigarette smoking, may lie
one: prominent cause."

studies of smoking and mortality have been updated on the basis of
longer periods of observation on each study subjeet. Current findings
are therefore more definitive and, permit more detailed analysis of
the interrelationship of cigarette smoking to other significant.variables
such as age, sex, and the nature of the smoking habit in terms of
amount and duration of smoking. Pertinent findings are presented
below from the studies of veterans in the United States (b9) and
Canada. (14) and the extensive data reported by Hammond (47); Doll
and Hill (,16, $6, E'7)., and.Borhani (17).
The relative eacess mortality associated with. cigarette smoking is
generally expressed in terms of a mortality ratio:. This statistic is
defined as the ratio of the number of observed deaths among smokers,
to the expected deaths among, smokers,if the age-specific mortality
rates observed among non-smokers had prevailed (6Q)~.. The process

particulhr cautiom must be taken in interpreting the results relating
specific acute conditions to cigarette smoking because of the relatively
large sampling error connected with the estimates for the several types
of acute condiGions:
Since the National Health Shrvey is not a prospective study, itdoes
not. identiiFy the rate at which various types of' morbidity develop in
comparablee groups of'smokers and, nonsmokers, but reports the recent
existence of such. disability. Therefore, the findings are much more,
significant whemt'hey support relationships previously identified than
when new relationships are identiRed.. It should; not be surprising that
causes of mortality which are associated with cigarette smoking have,
a, counterpart in disease or disability associated with smoking.
e+.sthe primary source of data in the United States on disability„
the Survey report, being based on a national probability sample,
provides a solid base for estimating the excess overall disability asso,
ciated with cigarette smoking..
HIGHLIGHTS OF'CIIIi!RENT INFORMATION ON OVERALL
MORTALITY AND. MORBIDITY
1. The previous conclusions with respect to the association bel
smoking and mortality are both confirmed and strengthened by the
recent reports. The added period of followup and analysis of deaths
of nonrespondents as well as of respondents in. the Dorn Study sug-
gests that the earlier reports may have understated the relationship..
2. More information is now available for specific age groups than
previously. A comparison of t;hree ways of measuring the relationship
indicates that cigarette smoking is most important among, men. aged
45 to 54 both in terms of'mort'ality ratios and escess deathseapressed
as apercentage of total deaths. Nevertheless,, although both of these
measures decline with advancing age, the increment added to the
d'eath rate, which reflects one's personal chances of being, affected,
continues to increase with age, For men between the ages of 35 and 59,
t.he.eacess dea.ths.among current cigarette smokers account for one
out of every three deaths at these ages. For women, with their lower
overall eaposure to cigarettesi the comparable figure is about one
death out of every 14 at ages 35 to 59.
3. Women whol smoke cigarettes show significantly elevat'ed death
rates over those who have never.smoked regularly. The m agnitude
of the relationship varies with several measures of dosage. By and
llarge, the same overall rel'ationships between smoking and mortality
are observed for women ashad previously been reportedi for men, but
at a lower lbvel.. Nbtonly are.the death rates for men who have never
smoked regularly higher than those forwomenwho have never smoked

Sooace: U:9. Public Health Servfce, Fremingtism Study (90. (Updsted'aDBI):
When the incidence.rate of coronary heart disease.among, male non-
smokersbetween 35-44.years ofiege is compared with.that among,older
nonsmokers, the rat® is.seen to triple every 10 years. This marked
increase in incid'ence among' nonsmokers reflects the effect of other
important risk factors and perhaps accounts for the decrease im mor-
bidity ratio as age advances. The independent effect of smoking on
the incidence of' coronary heart disease is believed to he more appro-
priately represented by the excess morbidity rates, which increase
from 2.7 per 1,000 smokers in the age group 35-44 to 9.2 per1,000
smokers 55-644 years; of age.
Fdxgh. Blood ATeBsure
Although the inhalation of cigarette smoke is fiequently accom-
panied by acute transient elevations in blood pressure, habitual smok-
ers tend to have lower blood pressures than do nonsmokers (48). But,
given the presence of 'high blood pressure in an individual'„smoking
acts as an additionall risk:factor for the development of coronaryy heart
disease (17, 28, 29, .9IOy 53; 55, 95,96). Both the independent and the
combined effect of cigarette smoking is clearly shown in table 8 de-
rived fiau the experience of the Framingham and Albany studies
(30).,

Autopsy studies of' smokers compared with nonsmokers specifically
observing pathological changes in esophageal tissue have been reponted'd
fTom.both smokers and nonsmokers who died from causes other,than
esophageall cancer. The findings were simiTar to the abnormalities
generally accepted as representing premalfgnant tissue changes of
the epitli:el'iumm of the respiratory tract; that is,. epithelial cells with~
atypical nuclhii were found far more frequently in cigarette smokers
than in nonsmokers. Tiissue sections with basaf celT.hyperplasia werem
also found morefirquently in cigarette smokers and, as with the
atypical nuclei, these findrings increased with amount of cigarette
smoking. Additional data to: evaluate the relative importance of smok-
ing and alcohol, independently and jointly, would help clarifyv' the
significance of'these findings.

The.Darn (13) and the Hammond (11) studies both show mortality
ratios over 2.0. for smokers of over 20 cigarettes a day, but the Do1t-ItIi111
study (8, 9),.based on only 38 deaths, 5hows no apparent relation-
ship:. Two retrospective studies have shown significantly higher pro-
portions; of smokers among patients than among controls. Small scale
metabolic studies suggest that cigarette smokiingmay block the normal
metabolism of'tryptophan, which wouldd lead to the accumulation of
carcinogenic metabolites in~ the. urine. Further studies to verify this
finding and studies analyzing changes in the bladder tissue of smokers
as compared with nonsmokers would be helpful in arriving at a judg-
ment of the significance of the.elevated' death rates.found in smokers
inthe largest of the prospective studies.

death rates among heavy smokers in this age group are three timesthe
death rates' for nonsmokers for both sexes. The mortality ratios for
both men and women decrease with advancing agre in each intensity
category.. This trend may reflect.the effects of selective survival of
smokers who have survived the elevated risks at younger ages of cor-
onary heart d'isease and other diseases associated with cigarette
smoking.
Another eaplanation of the decrease in mortality ratios with agutg
is that the effect. of smoking, while substantial in in.creasing death
rates, cannot be expeeted'to be pnoport onate to all other causes of
coronary heart disease as age adva¢tces: Considering the.adm-anced de-
gree.of atherosclerosis generallly found among'nonsmokers over age
65,~ the deleterious effect of smoking is more appropriately represented
by the ~ excess iutin death rates among' smokers. Tati1e 4 below shows j
the observedi death rates from coronary heart disease among persons
studied by Hammond and classifled by age, sex, and smoking status.
Although the mortality ratios decreased with age, differences in death
rates„which reflect tlhe numbers of persons who die in each age gpoup,
increase. This could be interpreted to mean that, although relative to I
other factors, the role of cigarette smoking tends to diminish with ad- j
vaneing age,,the number of excess deaths per 100,000 smokers'continues ~
to rise with adsancingage.,

and Californi'a, longshoremen (3) also provide extensive adtlitional
information about coronary heart disease in male cigarette smokers as
compared to nonsmokers, supporting the above statements as they
pertain to men.
The study of British physicians (8, 9;, 10) suggests that male
cigarette smokers have the largest increase in risk for., death certi-
fied to coronary thmom'twsis-a subcategory of coronary heart disease
describing acute coronary events, frequently occlusive, causing myo-
cardiall infarction. For that subcategory, the mortality ratio is. also

Prospective morbidity studies confirm the relationships between
cigarette smoking and coronary heart disease. These studies also
provide.the opportunity to. evaluate the effect of smoking independ-
ently and in combination with other known "risk fractors,"'such as
high blbod pressure and high serum cholesterol that are also impor-
tant in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease..It has been demon-
strated that cigarette smoking not only operates as an independent
"risk factor" but that it may com'bine with other "risk factors" to pro-
duce even greater effects on cardiovascular health.
Other types of evidence have~also been presented'to confirm the
epidemiologic evidence. Autopsy studies.show that cigarette.smokers
have a much greater frequency of advanced coronary arteriosclerosis
than do nonsmokers. Clinical and experimental studies demonstrate
that smoking produces abnormalities of' cardiovascular physiology
that may help to explain the mechanisms of homy smoking may pro-
duce earlier death from coronary heart disease..
Humam and experimental studies indicate that the nicotine ab-
sorbed from smoking may cause an increase in the myocardial tissue
demandd for oxygen yet at the same time the carbon monoxide absorbed
from smoking nkty eause a decrease in the supply of available oxygen
from the blood'.' necessary to meet the increased' myocardial tissue
demand. Studies indicate that some persons who already have pre-
existing coronary heart d'¢sease, not necessarily clinically obvious,
may' be especially susceptible to, the adverse physiolbgical effects of
smoking. Evidence also indicates that important differences may
exist between normal individuals and those with. coronary heart dlis-
ease in their ability to increase coronary blood flow to compensate for
increased myocardial tissue oxygen demand. Smoking apparently can
accelerate thrombus formation of human blood; suggesting another
possible mechanism whereby smoking might increase the mortality
from coronary heart disease, especially those acute coronary events
cert'ified as "coronary thrombosis:"
TThe convergence,of many types of evidence--opid'emiological, ex-
perimental',pathologicaly and clinical-strongly suggests that ciga-
rette smoking can cause death from coronary heart disease. These

Additional chemical, esperimental;pathol'ogical, and epidemiolog'

rapidly. Epidemiologicali evidence concerning cigarette smoking and
lung cancer has confirmed positive relationships with increasingnum-
bers of'cigarettes smaked„with increasingduration,,and':with decreas-
ing age of initiation of the habit. Diale cigarette smokers of less than
one pack a day have mortalitj< ratios as high as 10 and smokers of more
than one pack a day have mortality ratios as high as 30.
There is: a muclu smaller increase of the lung cancer death rates
associated with pipe, and/or cigar, smoking than with cigarette .
smoking. Additionall evidence provides specific information on the inereased
mortality ratios of female cigarette smokers. These have significantly
elewated mortality ratios ranging as high as 5 for the groups with
greatost esposure: Lung cancer rates appear to t'ie somewhat, lower ~
for women who havenever smokedl regularly than formen who have ~
never smoked regularly.. The mortality rates for women who smoke, ~
although. significantly higher than for nonsmokers, are lower than ~
for men who smoke.. How much of this is due.to lower exposure to ,
cigarettes and how much to other factors cannot be determined from
the data available.
Ex-cigarette smokers are shown to have significantly lower death ~
rates compared with4hose who continue to smoke. As discussed under
the general topic of cessation earlier iit thiss reportl,, the Snding.of re-,
dktced lung cancer rates in the population of British physicians: (8, 9, 1
70) over a period of time in which the proportion of'cigarette smakers ~
was dropping significantly can Ihe interpreted as: similar to a: con- ;
tsolied cessation experiment and provides critical confirmation of the
judgment that cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer
and.that sharp reductions can.occur in the risk from lung cancer with.
the cessationof smoking.

of un enhanced competitiveness, drive, aggressiveness and hostility,
aaid an escessive seuse of time urgency." Recent unpublished data based

nicotine content is accompanied by a.reduction in the tumorigenicity:
Htesearch is needed to identify and separate the tumor-initiating and
tumor-promoting agents in tobacco smoke and, to elucidate their inter-
act.ions in the pathogenesis of cancer.. Similarly,, while addit,ional data
are aNailable concerning experimental' careinogenesis;, it is not yet
certain that the typical eharacteristics: of'human squamous-cell lung
cancer, with invasion and metastasis„ have been experimentally pro-
duced by tobacco smoke in animals. It shouldl be noted that this may
never be achieved not only because it may not be possible to duplicate
man's smoking action for anatomic and physiologic reasons but. also
because of species'' differences in cellular response.
There is evidence that certain other exposures, for example, occupa-
tional exposures to asbestos and uranium. ore may interact.with the
cigarette effect to produce an enhancement of the tumor-producing
effeet.. There is aiso information to indicate that the occurrence of
second primary lung cancers in smokers may be more frequentt than

pipe-lip cancer relations: there are too few cases related to the indi-
cidbal parts of the liuceal cavity to evaluate each independently, and;

Although alll forms of smoking have high mortality ratios with these

hiomechanisnn may help to explain why cigarette smokers have such
an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease and of dying
from it.
An increasing amount of evidence has been accumulated in the past
few years relating,the development of clinical cerebrovascular disease
to cigarette smoking. Most of this information has come from mor-
tality studies (17; 18), both retrospeetice and prospective, which
show that both male and female smokers of cigarettes under the age
of 75, as compared'to nonsmokers,,have higher death rates from cere-
brorasouaar disease designated as the underlying cause of death on.
their death certificates. This may be especially true for younger ciga-
tette.stnokers age 45-54 where males had dieath rates about 50 percent
higher than nonsmoking males; andi females had.death rates about 100:
percent higher than nonsmoking females! Under age 75, mortalityy
ratios for stroke increase as the number. of cigarettes smoked.increases.
No association has been shown for. those aged 75 and over.
The, new epidemiological evidmnce,, then,, indicates that cigarette
smoking may be more closely associated with cerebrovascular disease
thany previously indicated in the population between the ages of 45 and!
74 years.. Iif cerebrovascular'thrombosis (thrombotic brain infarction)
accounts for'this association, it is possible that some,of the considera-
tions of how cigarette smokingmay produce coronary thrombosis also
apply to the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease'.. Further research
is essential to understand the.reiat'ionships which exist between~ ciga-
rette smoking und cerebrowascular disease.
Additional epidemiollogical evidence from prospective mortality
studies provides confirmation that cigarette smoking,is associated with
inereased death rates from aortic aneurysm. (nonsyphilitic),, for both.
menn and women. In one study of male smokers an increase in d'eatli,
rates was noted with increases' in amount smoked.

nitrous oxide (18, 44) and the R,ubidium 84 (15) methods toa measur
coronary bliood flow. In response to, nitroglyceru e the normal indi ~
vidiuals generally increased their coronary, blood flow significantly,
but the coronary patients generally didl not.
Aanmal studies. have also demonstrated the decreased ability of',
atherosclerotic coronary arteries to increase coronary blood!.flow, as,i,
compared to the coronary arteries in normall animals (94). Dogs withp
experimentally produced coronary artery insufficiency allso show this
decreased ability (12). Similar differences between animals with nor-I
ma1 coronary arteries as compared to atherosclerotic coronary arteries,
have been demonstrated'in response to ergonovine (80)..
~
The above studies indicate that the effect of nicotine upon the.car-
diovasculhr system, mediated in part by the action of released cateehol, ~
amines, is generally to increase heart rate and cardiac output, and tl
raise systemic arterial pressure.temporarily.,Findings concerning they
effect of nicotine on coronary blood flow are presently thought to be-
largely due to the indirect effects of nicotine upon the cardiovascular
system. Other animal studies indicate that there maybe a direct action'
of nicotine on the coronary vasculature to increase coronary vasculaa;
resistance; thus tending to, reduce coronary blood flow. Thero are noi
Imman studies on the direct action of nicotine by itself'an the coronarg '
vasculature; such studies, involving the direct injection of nicotine
into diseased human coronary arteries, might be dangerous: 16Tormal:
individuals apparentlyy can increase their coromary blood flows to eom-j
pensate for the increased myocardial tissue oxygen demand,,but ap `
parently some pati'ents with coronary heart disease cannot, as shown
by their response to smoking: ;
Thus some patientswith coronary heart disease may be at a par-,
ticular disadvantage when smoking, and under other stresses since,
their coronary arteries apparently cannot dilate to supply blood flow
adequate to meet the inereasedl oxygen demand associated with nico-
tine-induced catecbolamine release. The interaction of the above ef-
fectt with recent findings concerningcarbon monoxide, describedlin
the next section, may be especially important in those individuals with,
coronary heart disease. The present studies indicate that the effect of
cigarette smoking on coronary blood flow,, in the presence of pre-'
existing coronary heart disease, may, in part, contribute to the in-'
creased incidence of acute myocardial infarctions that have keenI
observed to be associatedi with cigarette smoking. No relationship be-
tween tween the smoking effect on. coronary blood flow and'the pathogenesis
of coronary atherosclerosis per se is presentl'y suggested. Additional
research is needed.

patients with coronary heart disease, evidently more severe, could n
increase their coronary blood flow rate enough to compensate for
decreased oxygen carried by the blood. Thislatter group of patien
even though they had i!ncreased cardiac output, had less significam
increases of coronary blood flow than those noted in the first grou
of patients.. The coronary arterial-venous oxygem, differences and th
myocardial tissue oxygen uptakes both decreased, indicating that th
myocardial tissue oxygen demand was not being met entirely:.
The reduction in the amount of oxygen. available too the myocar
tissue caused by the absorption of carbon monoxide from toba
smoke may be especially critical in persons with pre-existing corona
heart disease; especially when they cannot significantly increase coror
nary blood fl'ow to compensate for increased myocardial tissue oxyg
demand The carbon monoxide effect may, in part,, eontribute to th
increased incidence of myocardial infarctions that occur in cigaret
smokers. Additional research is needed.
Studies on In Vitro Tkrornbus Formation
Recent studies have indicated't that cigarette smoking mayaecelerate
thrombus formation of human bloodl in.vitro_ Platelet adhesive
as measured byin vitro tests,,also appears to be increased.by cigare
smoking (1, 43, 71„87). Other studies; comparing smokers with no
smokers„ indicate that the platelet survical time of the smokers
shortened (73) and the platelet turnover rate is increased (7Q).. Studies
of'animals shotv there is also. an increased tendency for the platelets
to adhere to the vascular endot.helium.
Platelet adhesiveness.is reported to be increased in i-n vitro studies
using the Chandler rotating Ibop (3£, 33; 3¢) ; these studies generally'
show a consistent acceleration of the rate of thrombus formation:
Other in vitro tests show changes in thrombus formation and some
parameters~.of coagulation as; a result~oflsmoking~ (56; 66,.87):. How"
ever, problems in experimentall design and the multiplicity of tes
used; measuring either the same or overlapping portions of the com-
:
plicaterl coagulation process with varying results, cause difli'culty in
evaluatingthese results (71).
The mechanism of changes in characteristics of the platelets
smokers isbeing, inn estig,ated, but there are indications that the release
of catecholamines„ especially epinephrine, caused by the absorptio
of nicotine during smolting may be intimatelyy invollved (71, 7$). in
small doses, epinephrine has been shown to promote thrombus forma-
tion and eoagulktiony but in large doses it inhibits these proceases
Changes in. t'heelectlrical charge of t4le platelet membrane have aIso

High Serumz Cholesterol
It is noti now conclusively known. if cigarette smoking, by itself can
cause increases im serum cholesterol. Dietary influences as well as en-
dog_ enous production and elimination of'cholesterol must be evaluated
in cmcate'r detail' with simultaneous analysis of the roles of other
risk factors, including smoking.. One study of a small population of'
cwinsin Sweden, as reported by Lundman (67), suggests that smoking
monozygotic twins tend to have lower cholesterol level6 than their.
nonsmoking control'twins,,although thedifferences are not statistically
si;_nificant. Other studies suggest that smokers generally have higher
scrum cholesterol than nonsmokers (13,67, 88). However, given the
presonce of high serurn cholesterol, smoking iilcreases the risk of cor-
onarg heart disease (',95;,96)-
The independentl any synergistic.effeetl of cigarette smoking is dem-
onstrated by the data in table 9 d'erived from.the comliined eaperience
of the Framingham and Albany studies (30)..

concomitant coronary heart disease, or may develop pneumonia and
other complications that may hasten death. The death certificate may
carry stroke as the underlying cause or as the contributory cause of
death, depending upon the,interpretatfion of the physician at the time:
The important addition of these data is that smoking is associated
with.a higher mortality from stroke, whether the stmoke is recorded as
either the underlying cause or as the contributory cause of' dt:ath:
Ti hese two studies indicate that smoking may be associated with a
higher mortality from stroke in the relatively younger age groups
(under age 74). More than one-half the strokes that occur each year
are in the, group above age 75 and in, this group there is no evidence
relat.ing. smoking to cerebrovascular disease:.
Another large study has been conducted analyzing the mortality of
50.000 former students who entered Harvard University or the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvaniaduring the years 1916'S0 (74„76, 76). From this
population 171 deaths from cerebrovascular accidbntshave been identi-
fied: A review of'the medical records from their eol'lege years has been
carried out, and selected factors were correlated with the later occur-
rence of stroke. Seven precursive "risk factors" present at the time
of coldege attendance have been defined:. Cigarette smoking, liigh blood
pressure,escess body weight, short stature, a.history of early parental
death, a history of nonparticipation in college.sports, and a history
of "lieart consciousness" (also shown to: be correlated with coronaryy
heart disease).. Cigarette smoking and a1istory of earl'y parental d'eat'h
were more st'rongly correlatedi with thromboticst'roke than with hem-
orrhagic stroke. Students who smoked' more than 10 cigarettes daily
were at twice the risk of having a fatal stiroke than were those who
smoked less or not at all.
In.1965'the FrarningT am, study (54)' reported that while an escess''
development of thrombotic brain infarction appeared ta.be associated
with: cigarettesmoking, statisticall~yy significantt differences couldd notbedemonst'rated with the
small numberof cases available at that time..
hfbre recent data fcom Framingham indicates that cigarette smoking
inereases.the risk of stroke in males. The relatively small number of
women smokers had too few strokes.for adequate analysis.
The new epidemiological evidence, then,, indicates that cigarette
smoking may be more closely associated with cerebrovascular disease
in the population between the ages of 45 and'74 years than was previ-
ously indicated. If cerebrovascular thrombosis (thrombotic brain in-
farction) accounts for this, association, it is possible t'hat some of the
considerations of how cigarette smoking may produee.eoronary thr.om-
bosis a19o apply to.the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease: Further
research i's',essential taund'erstand the relationships that exist between
cigarette smoking andd cerebrovascular disease.

(91). The average nonsmoker, depending on environmental esposure;,
nsuallk has less than 2 percent earbosyl'temoglhfbin saturation (10).
Since smokers of one pack or more a day may have chronically elevated
carbosyhemoglobin levels of'more than 4 percent (9), there may be
appreciable differences in the carboxyhemoglobin levels between some.
heavyy cigarette smokers and. nonsmokers:
In addition to displacingpayhemoglohin, carbon monoxide effects a,
shift in the osygen-hemoglobin dissociation, curve (2, 3, 4 5„6). This'i
may result in a decreased release of'oxygen at the tissue llavel. A series
nf'studies (61, 6°3) has been performed on young adults to.analyze
the effect of cigarette smoking on carboxyhemoglobim levels, and the
conserluent effect on some parameters of cardiopulmonary function.
.\rt increased post exercise oxygen debt was observed after cigarettee
amoking as compared to controls. This, in part, may reflect not onlyy
vetuilatorv disturbances but also a decreased supply of oxygen in
tllr blood due to the carbon monoxide effect, resu'lting in less aNailablee
osvsen to meet the. increasedi tissue demand. Similar post-esercise
ocv,en debts have been noted after inhalation of enough carbon
monoxide to produce comparable blood levels of carliosyhemogl'obin
(21),

a periodic health examination. The results of this study and those of
Dol f and. Hi11' suggest that sudden death from previously undetected
coronary heart disease frequently occurs among cigarette smokers. If
this is true„it may, iiu part, account for the small differentials'in the
iprecalence of coronary heartl disease between smokers and nonsmokers
observed in sotne morbidity prevalence surveys. As will be described
in the following sectiott„ longi'tudflnal, prospective morbidity studies
dso show that smokers are more likelq to die fronm sudden attacks of
f-oronary heart disease.

lln chapter 11 of the 1984 Surgeon General's Report, severallprospec-
ricestudies.on t!]ieincidence of'coronary heart disease (Z'4,.~''1, 78, 88),
established that smokers tvere subject to higher rates than nonsmokers.
The relationship was reported to6e mmoremarkedl und'er 50 years of
age than among older persons and appeared to be associated with
myocard'ia1 infarction but not with angina pectoris. Since the: 1984'4
report, recent findings fcom Iarge-scalle; on-going prospective studies
have been reported, providing additional insight on the interaction

be seeondaryto that of h'ustaminet lmown
to act as a coronary vasodilator; which apparentlyis neleased from the
lung tissue of dbgs dUring their exposure to smoke (8).
.
When blood from the smoke-exposed lung was perfused through
the systemic circulation of' dogs while the coronaries were being
perfused with non-smoke-exposed blood, the typical release of cate-
cholamines, occurred with many of the usual effects on cardiovascular
parameters exeept that the.coronary vascular. resistance increased
under tihese experimental conditions, apparently due tlo the i'ncreased'.
'. actirityof the sympathetic nervous syst'em (38).
jince itis well known that exposing dogs to cigarette smoke without.
isolating and separately perfusing the coronary circulation normally
reeults in an increase ofl tlhe coronary, blood flow (38), the manipul_ationn
of exI erimentall conditions as described suggests that there is a.
niaskin,g effect by the catecholamines on. nicotine's direct action on
olie coronary circulation. (38~).,
7liwse;tudies may relate;byanalogy,.to humans and indicate that
smolcinw, in~ "normal" individuals, may produce at least two actions
that can atTiect.coronary blood flow: (1) a decrease in coronary blbod.
Iloxc b, v a possible direct action of'nicotine on the coronary circulation
(demonstrated in dbgs), and (2) an increase in coronary blood flow
as, rhe usual resultant of varying responsesto the intermediating
I action of eatlecliolaminesandiotherphysiologicprocesses (demonstratedl
in botiu animals and humans).

The effeat of cigarettle.smoking on coronary blood flow was studied
in p:Itients with coronary lieart disease (:79).. As was seem in normal
hlarts, sigmificant increases i'nl heartratey arterial' pressure, and
triltac output were noted... In cont'rastlto the nortmal individuals

is reasonable to~ suspect that cigarette smoking, in part by affecting
the thrombus-forming process in human blood, may account for some
of the.escess coronary heart disease deaths that occur in cigarette
smokers; espeeially some of the deaths certified as "acute coronary
thrombosis:" Further research is necessary before any definite con-
cluFioncanbe made:,
AIITOrs4 STQnn?s
Thc t,'woanost sigpificant pathological studies of'the relat'ionship of
emokind history to atherosclerotlic changes in human coronary arteries
have 6een reported by Auerbach and Strong. Auerbach (7) studied
1,372 males for whom a.smoking history was available and who had
died' of' causes other than coronary heart disease. He found that the
lK1rFrntage of men with an advanced degree of coronary atherosclerosis
wasl igher.2mongcigarettesmokersthanamongnonsmokers, and that
the percentage increased' with amount of cigarettesmoking, Both
amr,nr smokers and. nonsmokers the percentage of men witlbadvaneed
curonarc atherosclerosis: al?;o increased with age~ This relationship
held up even when the following were eseluded: men with a history
of diabetes; men who; had died of any type of'heart disease; and men
whoseheart'~sweighed 400 gm. or more. A matched set analysis was
alsocarried out ('reiucludfing,some diabebics and heart disease deaths)
m,~l again tlhepercentage of' men with advanced' coronary athero-
~clorosis was less among nonsmokers than among mem who had been
current cigarette stmokers, and this peraentage increased. with the
an ountsmoked.
wtrong (89) in a study oflcoronary arteries from.645. auEopsied
males, 20 to 64 years of age, eaclhded patients with diseases he
thought to be associated with smoking (emphysema, lung cancer,
etc.), or with coronary heart disease (myocardiallinfarction, hyper-
tension, diabetes, stroke; et'e:)'. He found that the mean percent of
coronaryy intimal surface occupied by raised atherosclerotic lesions
Was approximately twics as great in lteavy smokers (25+ eigarettes/
day)',, and aboutone-thirdlgreater in light smokers (less than 25%day),
than in nonsmokers. Galoi:fied lesions and mean coronary walll thick-ness
measured radiographically were on the average highest in heaky
smokers andl lowest in nonsmokers. Differences among these smoking
categories weree generally greatest at' younger ages.
These autopsy studies suggest that smoking,, in addition to the
acute immediate effect associetedl with the act of smoking;, has a
chronic effect leading,ta advanced degrees of atherogenesis. However,
these findings may, in. party reflect the differencesnot;ed between

"Bhe association of cigarette smoking to angina pector s is not a~ con-
=istant one. A clear-cut association was.found in the Health Insurance
Plan Study (ratio of 1.7) ; a similar association is also found in un-
t,nblished data from Fiamingham considered separately. Hbwever, no
association between cigarettn+smoking and the incidence of angina
pe,toriswas found in the Albany esperience., Cederlof (19), in his
;nalysis of prevalence data on angina pectoris obtainedl by question-
naire. found no statistically significant difference in prevalence'rates
hehccen 453 monozygotiotwin.paiis with dissimilar smoking habit's:
In a larger study of about9,000 persons from the twin register where
genetic factors were uncontroldedy Cederlof (19, .°ZO) did find' a sig-
nitlcantly- hig)ter prevalence of angina pectoris among, smokers than
nonsmokers;,partieulanlyinmen (ratioof 1.6) (G7)..
6'riedman (4z?) antb Epstein (:Y6)) have clearly described the in-
inerent biases in prevalence'stu'dies which may lead to findings of risk
graliielrt.s that arc different from those obtained in prospective inci-
dence studies; One of these limitations is that fatall cases are under-
represented in a prevalence survey. Thus, since it appears thatcigart ettesmoking is morecloselj*
related to the incidence of'fatal myocar-
dial infaratim s than to other forms of coronary heart disease, it is ea-
hectetl that morbidity ratios derived from prevalence surveys would be

A study among British physicians;, the first of the large prospective

to the 59;600, registered physicians then resident in the United King-

Ten years of observ.ation of mortality in relation to smoking was
recently reported for this'popnlation.by Dall and Hill (29; 30).. Their
findings on mortality from chronic bronchitis as related to smoking
inoluded emphysema and are given in table 4'. Only the standardized
death rates were presented in the report but the mortality ratios have
been cal'culated from them~ to offer an easier comparison with the
other two studies. Againy it is clear that mortality from. these combined
diseases (no attempt wasmade tb, differentiat'e, . them inthe~ published

This reportl reviews additional pertihent data relative to smo'king,
uwdl chronic bronchopulmonary diseases-specifically chronic bron.
rhit i4a nd pulmonary emphysema..
Tltc ruader is referred to the Surgeon General's 1964' Report (68)
rnd nvcnt textbooks for background information on the chemistry of
to1iiven smoke, the metabolism and toxicity of specific components
of tobacco smoke,, the physics of its retention in the air passages andl
the htu:es„and!the mechanicsof pultnonary function.
DEFINITION6
'I iL'.-e.opeof this chapter will be limited.to emphysema and chronie:
bmncs itis and it may be.useful to present definitions of both terms.
There iiace been many definitions of chronic bronchitis and emphy-
a•wa.. 1'hose.usede in the Surgeon Geeneral's.1964'. Report had been pro-
pnsecl by the American Thoracic Soci'ety in 1962 (37). With the in-
cmasiut_ publfic health interest in, chronic bronchopulmonary disease,
nttempts havebeem made to develop precise definitions to ca.tegprize
the=e diseases and to dsolate them satisfactorily from other pulmonary
conditions. A task force sponsored by the. Chronio Respiratory Dis-
oa~a Control Program of'the Public H'ealth Service and the National
'Pulnrcnlosis tssoeiatilon deliberated this together with related prob-
1'ems for ai week in O'etober 1966, They adopted the following
d'cfiintions (7Y) :
~%an c&ronchitis is a clinical disorderrchanacterized by excessive
mucous secretion in the bronchial tree. It isma,nifested by chronic or
recurrent productive cough. The diagnosis of chronic bronchitis can
Ne made onlyifotherbronchopulmonary or cardiac disorders are ex-
chtded as the cause for these symptoms. The predominant pathologic
rhanc+c is hypertrophy andhyperpiasia of the mucous secreting glands
in thetraehea and bronchi..
PuZnwmamj empkyaema is an anatomic al't'eration of' the lung
charxcterized by destruction of albeolns walls accompanied by abnor-
mal enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal, nonrespira-
torybronehiode:'These definitions willl be used to describe chronic broneMitis and
empbysema~ as understood im the present report'. They are being used

The increase and' aging of the population during the same period
does not account for this rise, Age-adjusted mortality rateslor emphy-
soma without mention of chronic bronchitis increased about ten times
for. men, from 1.3 per 100,000 in 1950: to 12.6' in li964: A similar„ al-
ttiough perhaps somewhat less dramatic; increase occurred among
women,,from 0:2:per 100;000 in 1950,to 1-6 in 1964. Death rates from
chronic bronchitis rose less preeipit'ously, doubling during the same
period' (69,.70).. How much of this increase is the result of improved
diagnosis of these diseases and how much the result of a true change
in mortality patterns cannot be determined at the.present time,.Asso-
ciations have been demonstrated between these conditions and
smoking..
PopcmaTror. SmanMs
Included in this broad category are investigations that collected
information from a group or groups of persons either by a series of
questions, bl* some form of physicall examination, or by a review of
recarded.data such as hospital records and.death.certificates.
PROSPECTIVE STUDIES
In. the Surgeon GeneralFs 1564!Report, findings fromi seven prospec-
ti se studies were presented. Additional data have beeni reported from
four of these investigations in the past 3 years. Information relevant
to smoking and chronic respiratory disease will be summarized here.
The study of mortality among policyholders of U.S. G'overnment
Life Insurance policies available to persons who served in the Armed
Forces between 1917 and 1940 was initiated in 1952. -Almost all the
393,6'58 policyholders; were white males. Recently Kahn (44) pub.
lished a report that inclhded all deatlis from~ Juhy 1954 through De-
rember 1962,, a period of 8i/2years:
1Plie relation of cigarette smoking to death from bronchitis and
emphysema ispresented by mortality ratios in table 2 and by specific
risk of mortality in table 2A. Given the definitions previously cited,
t'hese tables also illustrate the difficulties iiu separating these,diseases.
The first row of table 2 gives combined, mortality ratios and'the next
two rows give the same data in an.att.empt to delineate the specific dis-
eases,. Mbrtality ratios are.given by the number of cigarettes smoked
per day at the time the, men were enrolled in the study. Mortality
from these diseases is much higher among cigarette smokers than
among those who never smoked and rises witlh the number of ciga-
rettes smoked' dai [y. The ratioss aree much higher for emphysemaa alonee
than for chronic bronchitis with or without mention of'emphysema.
A similar study of'veterans was begunn in Canada,in 1955. Answered'd
questionnaires were returned by nearly 78,000 men whose subsequent
mortality for a period of 6 years was recent.ly analyzed by Best aml'
91

Tllis table shows that the prevalence of respiratory symptoms was
much higher among the smokers in twin pairs than the nonsmokers.
The authors concluded that this hypermorbidity "speaks in favor of
a causal interpretation.7'Tn a further analysis of the data from monozygotiotwin pairs with
discordant smoking habits, Cederlof and his coworkers (15) divided
the series intoo a"low riskk group" in which thenonsmokinge twin
clid not have "°cough," and' a"hiigh risk group"' in which the non-
smoking twin had "cough."' The two groups of smoking co-twins
corresponding to the two nonsmoking risk groups had higher than ex-
pected prevalence rat'es: The observed value for smokers. in the low
risk group„}mwever, was only half that expected'for nonsmokers.in
the high risk group; This suggests that for some andividuals the
geneticc inflnence may be more important than smoking im the devel-
opment.of cougli, , But:, becauseany high risk group, is only a small part
of the population, the total genetic effect will be mtuch smaller than the
effect of tlobacco.
Lundman (53)' made a. detailhd study of twin pairs in Sweden.. Of
247 twin pairs asked too participate„ 190paias were. examined (80
percent)y of. which 92 were monozygotic and.104 dizygotic. All par-
ticipants were interviewed and examined without knowledge of their
smoking habits. All twin pairs were concordant with respectto urban/
rural residence and discordant. in smoking habits: After estimation
of.lifetime exposure to smoki'ngy 30 pairs were considered.concordant,
thus.limiting analysis to77monozygotia and.89 dizygptic pairs. The
smokersins both: groups of twins, hadd signi~ficantl}r higher frequencies
of.some.respiratorysynnptoms, such as persistentlcough and morning
phlegmy but not of other symptoms such as dyspnea, "day cough", and
"day phlegm". Smokersalso had "an increase in the unevenness of

The: fourth of the prospective studies is the largest. More than 1
million men and womenn living in 25 States were enrolled in this
investigation in late 1959: and earlly 1960. A report of the first 4 years
of observation was publishedi recently by Hammond (36) and mor-
tal5ty from emphysema and chronic bronchitis as related to smoking
is given in table 5.. A slight dcpart'ure from the usual assignment of
cause of deat'h should be mentioned. When the cause of dcath was listed
as chronic bronchitis with. emphysema, it was aombined with emphy-
sema alone. For this reason, the cause.of death in table 5 is not quite

men and women. This was the only one of the four studies with enough

(£'9„ 30), it was possible too estimate the numlber of. years aa man con-~
tinned smoking afiter he had answered the initial questionnaire. Fora
chronic bronchitis the mortality rates at first increased' after cessation
of smoking and' Iater fell well below the rate for men who continued'
to smoke.. Thedeath rate from, chronic bronchitis, per 100,000,
tions, two further poi:nt~s, should be made. Excessive mortality was
largely confined to cigarette smokers. The mortality ratio for chronic
bronchitis and' emphysemay for pipe and cigar smokers combined, in
the U.S. vet'erans study, was only 0:99; in t,'heCanadian study it.was
about 1.6 (based on only nine deaths),; in. the study of men from 25
States it was 1.37 ;: and' among British' doctors the standardi¢ed death
rate was 15 (compared with five among nonsmokers). Whatever may'•
be the relationship of p'ipe and cigar smoking to chronicbronehitis
and emphysema, it is clear that it is substantially less important than~
the relationship of cigarette smoking.

residence (urban or rural) in a malle population comprised of 315
hospital patients in. Now York, and 315 in. California, and of 239
Seventh-Day Adventists liiving in C'alifornia, who were not hospital
patients. Persistent cough was reported from 23 percent of the Ad-
oentists (who do not smoke), 45 percent of the New York pat.ients,.
.nd 53 percent of the California patients. Coughing wasmore fre-
quently report'ed by cigarette smokers than by those who smoked pipes
or cigars, as shown in table 8, Inhalers also had ahigher rate of
persistent cough and the rate of'cough increased with smokingin each
age group:. Wynder found no, correlation between urban or rural resi-
dence and persistent cough:. Analysis of the California group showed

Deane and her associates (28) studied symptoms in.relation to smok-
ing iii a group ofl about 500 outside telephone. workers. over age 40.
working in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. Symptoms were
reported on amodified version of'the British~Biedical Research Council
questionnaires Regardless of tlhe definition of the respiratory symp-
tom-persistent cough. and phlegm, persistent cough, phlegm, and
shortness of breath-it was consistently experienced by a greater pro-
portlion of those who currently smoked cigarettes than those who. did
not.
Coates and his coworkers (20) also found among 1,584 postal work-
ers aged. 40 or more (all employees of the Detroit Main Post Office),,
that. for every symptom-coug)1 and phlegm, chronic phlegm alone,
wheezing, shortness of breath-the prevalence was two.to three times
greater among moderate (15-24 cigarettes per day).and heavy (25 orr
more), smokers than among,those who did not smoke: These diifferences
in symptom. prevalence were observed for both men. and women but

Climatic an& meteorologic variations involved with differences in
quantity andl quality of specific ai'r pollutants make investigations of
atmospheric pollution very complex. There liave been. many studies,
however,.attempt'ing to examine tihe association of air pollution with
chronic respiratory disease. Often com parisons of'mortality and'' mor-
bidity are made between urban and rural areas, assuming a.difference
in air pollution but not measuring it directly. Wicken (76) in his
retrospective study of mortality from chronic bronchitis in Northern
Ireland found higher mortality rates with greater degrees of urbaniza-
tion.. Air pollution was suggested as a factor.
H'olland and'. Reid (42) compared the prevalence of respiratory
symptoms, sputum production, and lung function in Londom and in
three county towns. TheS6ondom mem had more~ and severer symptoms,
produced more sputum and had poorer lung function test results.
Smoking, habits were shawn to be closely related to respiratory dis-
turbance but urban-rural differences in these habits could not explain
the greater frequency of respiratory symptoms in London:.
A Canadian study reported by Bates et all. (11) indicates that among
four cities studied, the city with the lowest amount of' industrial dust-
fall and sulfur dioside.leveis had the study group with the lowest
prevalence of chronic bronchitis. Preliminary results also indicate
that this group had the lowest decline of pulmonary function. The
groups of males in each, city were approximately concordant for
other factors,,including.the influence.of cigarette smokimg:Ferris.and associat'es. (3, l, 33) .
studied.air polllutionn and its effect
on respiratory symptoms andl functions in two: separate tlowns-Chilli-
wack, British Columbia„ and Berlin, N.H. After standardizing the
«ataa for age and cigarette smoking,, they observed acorrelatiian be-
tween symptoms of chronic bronchitis and the level of air pollution
as.measured by,the mean sulfation rate. They also found'pulknonary
fttnction tests to be betterin Chiltiwack when controlled for smoking
habits and age. This may be associated with the lower level of air pol-
lution in Chilliwack..
Studies of populations of twins.are.especiallly valuable in assessing
the influences of constitutional factors and environmental' considera-
tions, such asciga.ret'te smoking and airpollhrtion. Cederl'of(1/y), using
interview techniques on a large population of'twins in Sweden, found
that compared with smoking, air pollution was, of secondary im-
partance in causing respiratory symptoms indicative of clironiebron-
chitis and/or emphysema. In both the monoaygotio andld dizygotic
twins, again using the co-twin control method, individual variations
suggested thatthe propensity todev.elop cough.from smoking also
may well be pertinent with re tg}trd to air pollution but that, when
considering. the total population, , individual variations appear to be
of minor influence (16).

cough and phlegm among ex-smokers was no greater than in'
nonsmokers. I
Very few studies have been carried out to estimate the association of
morbidity and smoking'in.young people. Paters andlFerris (60) retro=
spect'ively tallied' the number of visits to the clinic at the IIniversity`
of'Health Services for 1,623 Harvard students and 404! RadEliffe stu-.
dents.. SSnoking information had beem gathered on these students in;
their freshman and senior years. Smokers made significantly more.
visits to the clini'c ini total " for respiratory diseases in particular..
There was a.positive correlation between years smokedi and the num-
ber of respiratory. disease visits. .
In. contrastl.to most studies which select population groups, Huhti
(43) studiedivirtilallythe entire popul'ation, age.40-64, in a commune
in western Finland. Although it was a.mostly rural!population,,some
industrial workers were included.. More than 95'percent.oE the men
and women invited responded.to the survey. Questionnaires (based on
that of the British 1Vfedicall Research 't,`buncil) and medicall eaamina-
tionswere completed for 730 men and1.890. women. Only 18.7 percent
of the men were nonsmokers and 21.6 percent ex-smokers, compared
withi 86.11 percent nonsmokers and 3.6 percent es-smokeis' among
women. Prevalence of both cough and phlegm production was sigpifi-
cantly higher among smokers than nonsmokers as seen in table 9.

with female nonsmokers; similar to the relationship noted' between'
male e.x-smokers and male nonsmokers.
Coates (Q0) observed no, relation between smoking habits; and vital
capacity or FEV;,a. He did find, however, that the ratio of FEV,.o/'
VC was significantly lower among heavy smokers (25' or more ciga-
rettes per day)' than.nonsmokers. This was found for a16 but the old-
est group of workers; but here the number of'subjects was small'.
Peters and Ferris (59) askedi 133' Harvard College seniors to com-
plete a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and to perform some
sample tests of pulmonary functions. Of these„124 responded. When
classified by smoking history,.the smokers were found to record more
frequent cougiy phllegm productiony breathlessness, and wheezing with
or apart from colds:. There was no d'ufference in vital capacity be-
tween~ smokers and nonsmokers. Alt'hough~ tlhe forced expiratory vol-
ume in 1 second (FEVi.o) was less for heavy smokers than nonsmok-
ers, this was not significant' by itself. As a ratio of'vitali capacity this
did show a sigpificantt decrease., The air flow rat.ee using the Wright
peak-flow meter and other$ow rates determinedi from tracings of the
Stead-Wells spirometer (FR;,n, FR.es, FR,,%, FR,a%) did show
statistically significant reductions in heavy smokers as compared to
nonsmokers. These data show that relatively young,cigarette smokers
have some impairments of ventilatory function, in turn suggesting
the possibility of a: rather immediate effect of cigarette smoking on
respiratory symptoms and ventilatory function.
A series of experiments has been done by Krumholz andi his asso-
ciates (49, 50, 51) to evaluate cardiopulmonary function in young
apparently healthy persons. The first experiment (Yr9)) involved 1'fl'8
house staff physicians ranging in age from 24 to 37 years. Nine had
smoked at least one pack of'cigarettes a day forthe preceding, 5 years
and nine had not.smoked for at least the.same time period. Extensive:
pulmonary function studies were done at rest and after exercise. The&
smokers were found to have a greater oxygen debt after exerc.ise„de-
creased diffusing, capacity at rest and with exercise, and decreased
total lung capacity and vital capac.ity.
In the second Krumholz experiment (50), 10 young staff physicians,all'ofl whom had smoked at least
one pack a day for 5years, were given
pulmonary function tests immediately after and again 33 weeks after
abstinence from smoking. Six physicians refrained from smoking for
6 weeks and were testedl again. After 6' weeks of no smoking; expira-
tory peak flow and' pulmonary diffusing capacity weresignificantlyincreasedl. Heart rate and.oxygen
debt.aftert exercise were decreased.
After 8weeks functional residual capacity was decreased andl inspira.tory reservee volume and'

Rr"sunre
Two recent studies (l7, 53)) of popuSations of identical and fraternal
twins show that for some individuals in the populations studied
a genetic element appears to. be of.some importance for the development
of cough. However; the effect of smoking was clearly shown to he'
much more important for most of the,indnviduals in the total popula-
tions studied. One study (53) also clearly showed that smoking twins
more often had reduced ventilatory function tests as compared to
their respective nonsmoking twins.
These dat'e, provide strong confirmatory evidence that cigarette
smoking can cause chronic bronchitis; however, no, inferences with
respect to pulmonary emphysema can be based on these datn. Studies
such as these, when specifically designed to provide additionalliin-
formation aboutpulmonary flunction, may be helpful in evaluating the
relationship between cigarette smoking and'pulmonary emphysema.
PATHOLOGY STUDIES
Very few papersrelating the gross.and's microscopic appearance o
the trachea, bronchi, and lung parenchyma to tobacco smoking have
appeared in the last 3 years. Auerbach andl his coworkers have con.
tinued theiranalysig of bronchiaLtissues.taken frdm 758 subjects (7)
andi lung parenchymaI tissue taken from 1,340 men (8).. They pub-
lished a report (9) correlating findings in the bronchial tree with
findings in the Ihng parenchyma of 267 men who were included in
both previous studies. They reported a high correlation between
fibrosi's in the lung parenchyn¢a and different abnormalities of the
bronchial epitheliumy such as hyperactive glands„increasedl nuunberof
cell rows iia~ the ciliated epitheltium,and increasedl frequency of cells
with atypical nuclei..As reported previously by and summarized in t'he
Surgeon GeneraI's1964 Report'y, more frequent and more severe ab-
normalitieswere observed among cigarette smokers.. Seetions of the
bronchial tree among ex-smokers were more like those of nonsmokers
while fibrotic changes in tlie, lung parenchyma were more like those
observ.edd amongsmokers..
Changes in the bronchial tree similar tlo those.described by Aue
bach and his; coworkers were reported inn a.series of 100 random adult
autopsies by Hernandez,and Anderson and. their associates (38). They
reported a.higher frequencyof abnormal epithelial hyperplasia,.goblet

andi some phenols are also cilfiatosic (25, /t6, .48, 73, 77; 79)~. F~~'urtharl
information may be obtained from a special symposium on ciliary
activity held in 1965 (48)~ A recent study (h) suggests that osidativa
enzymes such as adenosine triphosphatase, apparently important to
ciliary activity, may be adversely affected by cigarette smoke. Add~y
tional research is necessary before precise conclusions can be stat~
concerning which, if any; of the identified ciliatoxic agents contain
in tobacco smoke are.most damaging to the human respiratory system4
OTHER FACTORS ASSOCIA'Il'EIYi WITH CHRONIC BRON-
CHITIS OR EMPHYSEMA O1t BOTH 4
It is not the purpose of this report to, discuss all the factors that
may play a rolie in the development of chronic bronchitis and emm
physema. It is important, however, to recognize thatl these condi-
tions;do exist among people who do not smoke and that many smokers
apparently escape all. signs of affliction. It is also important to recog-.
nize that other factors have been associated with the development of
'
chronic respiratory disease, or chronic bronchitis and emphysema{ '
as we have defined chronic respiratory disease. We must be concern
with~ the multiple etiology of biological proce_sses..One factor alre•ady '
cited is the role of heredit.'ary or eonstitutionali factors in the develop-,
mentt of respiratory symptoms, either operating alonee or in conjunc--
tion with other factors such as smoking:.
Aside from the personal pulmonary pollution, inherent in smok-
ing, occupational exposures (a wider fiorm.of pollution) and exposure
to various pollutants in the atmosphere have both been shown to influ-
ence the prevalence of'respiratory signs and symptoms. Studies made
in someispeeific industries-for example„ puIp mill workers in New
England (3$):, coal miners in West Virginia. (31):, and gold miners
in South Africa (66, 67)-have shown an increased frequency af
respiratory symptoms or of diminished pulmonary function among
men exposed to certain dusts and fumes. t
These studies indicate that cigarette smoking is generally more
important than the oecupational.eaposures in producing respiratory
dflsease in the workers. These studies also suggest that cigarette smok-
ing may interact with some occupational. exposures T.o produce even
greater deleterious effects. Cigarette smokers outnumber by far the
workers subjected.tonnusual environmental exposures. Also„there has
been a general. improvement in many occupational environments„in the
continuing effort to remove or reduce the exposure to specifia'undus-
trial airpollutants: ,

GENERAL CHEMICAL AND, EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON
CARCINOCMENESIS AND: TOBACCO SMOKE
PolynuclearArom¢tic Hydroearbons
As criteriafor the presence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in
tobacco smoke, the list of J. W. Cook (20) has been lvidely accepted
by tobacco chemists.
The Surgeon General's 1964 Report and Cook's paper are in agree-
ment.with respect ta:thepresence.ofbenzo(a)pyrene.(3:4'-benzopy-
rene):, dil.iena(a,h)-anthracene (1,2: 6,6-dibenzanthracene),' benzo(c)
phenanthrene (3:4-benzophenant4mene),, and dibenzo(ayi)pyrene
(8J: 9,1I0-dibenzopyrene)y.all having:carcinogenic.aetivity.
Cook considers,furthermore;asidentified': Benz(a)anthracene (1,2-
)benzanthracene)marginall carcinogenic activity; chrysene,,benzo(e);
pyrene (1,2abenzopyrene)y questionable carcinogenic activity;: benzo
(_c,h,i)-perylene (1,J:2-lienzoperylene),2 benzo(b),flboranthene (3,4-
kienzofluoranthene) carcinogenic (o9,:1I6),.and benzo(j)flhoranthene
(19,11-benzofluoranthene)~ careinogenic. (106).
Indeno (1.213'-cd)pyrene:(2;3-phenylenepyrene) has sincebeen iso-
lated from tobacco smoke: (4'.5). Tihis polynuclear aromatic hydrocar-
boa was found to be carcinogenic (44, 69). The following carcinogens,
or questionable carccinogens, were isolated by Kiryu and Kuratsune
(55) in thesmoke of' cigarettes smoked by human volunteers:: benz
(a) anthracene, chry,sene; benzo(a)pyrene„benPo(e)pyrene, benzo (b)
fluoranthene and benzo (k) fluoranthene. The carcinogenic polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons areregnrdede ass the: major initiatingg car-
cinogensintobaccosmoke:

The Surgeon General's 1964 Report lists as carcinogenic compounds
three NI-het'erocyalics, dihenz(a,j)acridine,, dibenz(a,h)acridine andl7
II-dfibenzo-(c;g)earbazole. An independent imvestigation has con-
firmed the presence of the first named compound in cigarette smoke
(107).

N-nitrosa¢nituss are among the most powerful known animall car-
cinogens.. Since tobaccoo smoke contains secondary amines, (67; 71)

RETROSYECTIkE STIIDIEB
Wicken (75) made a study of lung cancer and bronchitis mortality
in Nortlhern Ireland. During the3 yearsi.1960-6L„a totall of 1,262 men
and 680 women, aged 35 years or more, were certified as having died
of! bronchitis. For each of these persons a. control was selected-the
next het on in the Register of the same sex and 5-year agee group who
la~t resided in'the same area and who died of a nonrespiratory illness..
Pcrsonal interviews with relatives of the decedents were carried out
for about 94 percent of the subjects and controls to determine the
dccedents' smoking habits., Iu addition, a random sample' of about
1.J(i0, lh.ouseholds'ih Northern Ireland was selected and one member of
each household was interviewed to obtain dl'ta'ilsof the age, sex, smok-
ii1, h:cbitsy, and other information on all adult members. This informa-
tion on all adult members was used to define the adult population of
N'ortihern Ireland in order to calculat'e death rates:
Bronchitis mortalityfoc both men and women was associart.edi with
sniohuig and directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked daily,

The final study (51) again used 20 young medical persons divided
among 10 smokers and 10 nonsmokers. The mean puhnonary com-
pliance was siglt'ificantly greater for the. nonsmokers than for the
smokers..
Since cigarettesmokers have a chronically elevated carboxy-
hemoglobinn level~ usually greater than B2 percent and occasionally
exceeding 10 percent, a study (19) was performed having nonsmokers
inhale enough carbon monox.ide to raise their earboxyhemoglobin
levels to the range seen in acontrol group of'cigarette smokers. This
maneuver caused the development, im the study group of nonsmokers,
of an increased oxygen debtwit,lt exercise and a reduced pulmonary
ditfusing capaeity at rest. These changesafter carbon monoxide in-
halation were similbtr to those found without carbon monoxide in-
halation when comparing cigarette smokers to nonsmokers:. (Further

cu,sed in the chapter on cardiovascular diseases i'¢i this report.)

Findings from various studies relating,smokingto pulmonary func-
ttorlare less consistent for certain criteria of measurement than from
those reloting smoking to respiratory symptoms. They are, however,
"onsistent ircthat they all report some form of diminished pulmonary
function among cigarette smokers„even when relativ.elyy young smokers
%cene studied. This is trueof the studies outllined here as well aaothers
that have not been included (18, 40„ 56, 58, 81). 'Phee usual measure-
ment found to lie loxcer among smokers is the 1-second forced, expira-
torti volume (FEV ,,q) either alone or as a ratio of the vital capacity
(FEV'„o/VC). Vital capacity allene was generally not fnund to he
oeiated with.smoking butl.diminished flow rates, such as FR;9, FR,o
and the peak expiratory flow (PEF)., were often observed. In these
studies, distinct quantitative relatlionships, were not observed between
impairment of pulmonary fun.ctiom and the number of cigarettes
smokedi daily.
ItELA'IPIOti OF SMOKING TO HEREDIT'Y' OR TO COiG-
STIlTUTIONAIL FACTORS
Although various surveys and studies,consistently show an assacia-
tion betweenn smoking and respiratory symptoms and. mortality from
respiratory disease, there have.e been objiectionss to interpreting thiss
relb.tion as causal. Arguments have been made that smokers and non-
smokers may differ im some respects, perhaps. biologicall, that are
relevant to the occurrence of disease,. Others have suggested that pre-

rvith airway abnormalities. Damage too thee puhnonary arterial eapil
1'arie, has. frequently been noted on autopsy examination of smokers.
This damage may be a direct effect'of smoke inhalation andy function-
ally, may impair the vascular perfusion of the alveolar tissue, thus
leadiag,to further deficiencies in alveolar tissue funetion.
The possibility must also be considered that the accelerated in vitro
thcombus formation. (discussed in the cardiovascular chapter of this
report), associated with cigarette smoking, may be the basis for mul'-
tiple small thromboses in the pulmonary arterial capillaries.
Sdclitionall research is also needed to answer questions concerning
other factors that may account for the apparent increased suscepti-
bility of'some indfividuals'to cigarette smoke, such that they have a
marked excess mortality from this disease: Genetic and': constitutional
fac,tors may be important to some individuals"devel'opment of pulmm-
uary emphysema, just as these factors appear to be import'ant in the
development of cough in smokers„ as reported by Cederlof and his
assnciates (17t, 15, 16, 17). An increased susceptibility of some indi-
viduadss to the emphysemaa associated with cigarette smokinghasg been
suggested, but not proved, by the occasional reports of "familial"
emphysema (41, EQ)',
Oeher probable causes of pulmonary emphysemay such as allergic' or
in fectious disease processes, also should be investigated for iin:teraetions
ticitlr and without smoking. Other apparent causes of pulmonary
emphysema,,such as possibly atmospheric air pollution,. may be inter-
:utiing withcigaaette smoking to prodtlce effects.even more deleterious
to hnmamhealth,
,
The observation that other probable causesof pulmonary emphy-
sema may exist should not detract ftrom the strong relationship that
h:LS.been shown to egistt betlweem cigarette smoking and pulmonary
emphysema.lN'urtiier investigations of the mechanisms of injury to t4ie
cellular and subeellular structures ofYhe lung tissue are recommended
(r3,)),. Also, clari'fieation of'diagnostic nomenclature and criterix would
be ]telpful, as indicated in the earlier discussion of definitions in this
chapter.

and most tobaccos, certainly Burley and Marylandi varieties, contain
nitrates (64),toliacco.smoke can be considered as a potentialenviron- '
ment for the formation. of N-nitrosaRnines. The major nitrat'es i~nn
tobacco are alkaline nitrates.
Neurath, et al'., isolated three alipbatic N-nitrosamines from the
smoke of' a cigarette rich in volatile basic components and high
nitrate content. One of them tentatively has been id'entiffed'as methy- ,,
m~butyl-nitrosamine (73).
When the particulate matter, °`t'ar,',' was collected from cigarettas -
not enriched with basic components or when the smoke particulate l
matter was collected without aging and not in cold traps,, N-nitros- :
amines couldl not bo isoiated' fromi cigarette smoke (7°~).. Since th® ;_.
only other pukilication eoncerned with the isolation of nitrosamines `
in cigarette smoke' was based on cold trap collection of "tar;" the
positive finding of three N-nitrosamines appears questionable (86) ~
In summary, tobacco smoke can be regarded as a. potentiall environ' 'I
mentfor the formation, of N-nitrosamines. Howevery additional infor '
mation is needed to substantitute their presence. in tobacco smoke.

Several investigat,ors(33, 35, 50

amounts of Po'1° in tobacco leaf and cigarette smoke. The eoncentrat'~
6ion of Po210 in lung tissue is relatively high (33, 67). as compared to ~T
other body tissues and is higher inn smokers than in nonsmokers (,Y3, i
43,65,66).
Lung tumors have been induced experimentally by intratraeheaI,;
implantat:Yon of various radioactive substances. These radioactive sub-
stances must, however, be present in the respiratory environment above
7
:
a certain threshold level and must be in contact withthe target organ :
longg enough to beedective (68, 77, 88,107) .. B eaausePo21tl emits alpha ~
particles,, it has been implicated as a lung cancer initiator (43, 68, 76),
72). More research is needed beforedefinitive conclusions can be made_.~

Selenium
A
Selenium has beenn mentioned aspossibly being' important in thi
pathogenesis ofhuman lung cancer (100):. Preliminary reports suggest
that selenium may be present in some cigarette papers. Because earlier
reports (17, 34, 97) indicated the ingestion of selenium caused camcer'
of the liver in. mice; a recent investigation (101) by the National C'an-
cer Institute was condkieted, with negative results. So far the earlier
reportsof t'he cnrciivogenicity of selenium have not been substantiated
Additional information: is needed on the possible carcinogenicity of
selenium and its presence in cigttrettesmoke before selenium can be
indicted as an.agent indmman cancer.

From the data shown in table 2.mortal[ty ratios of 17.47 and 29:84
may be noted for smokers of 40+ cigarettes per dhy, age 55-69 and
70-84, respectively. The,Dorn (49) study (seetablle5) simillarlyshows
mortality ratios:of 33,80and. 2320 for smokers of 40+ cigarettes per
dayy.age 55-64 and 65-74, respectiicely: The. Canadian study (see table
6): shows mortality ratiosofl 26.83 andl24'.53 for smokers 56-69aud 70
years of age.and older respectively who smoked over 20 cigarettes per
day. There is rather ¢lose agreement among the three large prospee•
tive studies for the general range of mortadityy ratios observed in heavy
smokers: Ftom the dat'a supplied by the Doll and Hill survey of
Britishh physicians (2$, 2cJ)i a mortality ratioo of 31.86, . can: bee calcu-
lated for alll smokers of more than 25 cigarettes per day, as com-
pared t'oo a mortality ratio of approximately 8, for smokers of 1-14
cigarettes per day (see table 8).
There is relatively little risk of lung cancer associated with pipe or
cigar smoking, probably because. smoke from these sources is rarely
inhaled.. "lltiked smokers„" ii.e., smokers of cigarettes,. pipes, and/or
cigars, have less risk than do smokers of cigarettes'onSy; al5o suggest-
ing that they may smoke fewer cigarettes or inhale less tobacco smoke
than do smokers of cigarettes only (see tables 7 and 8):.

dence of more bronchial gland hyperplasia.
Thesesame workers also studiedmaeroscopic sections.of single lungs
from 211 routine autopsies on adults (,l, 2). Analysis was limited to
165 of t:hese cases on whom smoking histories.were obtained, usually
from relatives. Withoutt knowing the identity of the subject or his
smoking history, each lung section was classified on a scale from 0 to 6
by severity of emphysemm.tous changes. The type of emphysema, was
also described as panlobular (changes throughout the secondary pul-
monary ldbu7es)„ centrilobul'ar (ehanges located around the centers
of the secondary lobules), or mixed. The severity of emphysematous
changas was about the same for men and women„ but for each sex,
changes were more severe among smokers than nonsmokers, as seen
in table 13.

Perhaps more' important was the observatiion that the type of pa-
thology seemed strongly related to smoking ($)'. Of 48 subjects whose
lung macrosections were classified as having mainly centrilbbular
emphysemay 45 persons had been smokers. In contrast, the 62 subjects
judged to have panlobular emphysema.were divided in.theespected
proportions, 38 smokers and 24 nonsmokers.
Pettyy andl his associates (61) also studied postSnortem findingsin
the lungss of' a series of 253 men overage.40, unselected'r for smoking,
n$o died' in. two Denver hospitals during a 6-year lueriod' from 1959 to
1965. The presence and severity of emphysema was estimated and
graded in four categories; from 0 to 3+. During, the last 3 years of
the study bmnchi' of 179 men were examined for mucous gland hyper-
plasia. Independent of the morphological studies; smoking histories
were obtained for each person, apparentDy by questioning relatives;
although this is mot clearly stated. 34en were grouped according to the
amountt of cigarettess smoked duriingtheir lifetimes by calculating
pack-years of smoking. (One pack-year is.the' number of cigarettes
4moked if a~ person smoked one pack per day for a year. A pack-year
couldl also mean smoking, two packs a.day for 6 months, one-hallf pack
a day for2 yeacs, or any equivalent amount.)

Tobacco smoke contains a large number of phenoll (107). Several
of them are known to be tumor promoting agents: when applied in
high concentrations to mouse skin previously treated with a tumor
initiator (,1h).

~g Lasnitzki (60) extended her studies with tobacco smoke condensate
a}~ , am cultured human fetal lung tissue to include a "highly purified
~ fraction of hydrocarbons"' isolated from cigarette smoke condensate.,
hey In 33 out of 50 treated lung tissue explants, the epithelium of the
es
bronchi was hyperplastic and sometimes showed squamous changes.,
ye7 1 These~ changes were not observed with the untreated controls.
_Ylthough a,hydroearbon-free fraction was weakly active by producing
some squamous metaplasia.in these explants, these tissue culture tests:
pointt strongly to, carcinogenic hydrocarbons as the active group in
the. smoke: The findfings with purified carcinogenic hydrocarbons in
organ culture (21), support the finding that polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons are one group of active smoke constituents. Carainogenic
ee hydrocarbons are also the only group of chemical eomponents that
a have been demonstrated in vitra to induce malignant conversion of'
t1O _einglece.lls ('.7,13).

Passive inhalation experiments with tobacco smoke have not yet
led to fully established squamouss carcinoma in mice (109). This
method of' application has resulted only in papillomatous growth in.
the tracheobronchial mucosa of a few hamsters. None of the tumors,
However, was found to be invasive (90;.111)I. Itt appears that passive

strict criteria were used, but.very, doubtful cases excluded, up to 12.5
percent double primaries were found. This study suggests that muTti-
plee primarybronchiad carcinomasin thee samepatiente may be more
frequent than previously suspect'ed. Further studies are necessary in
this area, since therapeutic implications arealso ine*olved'..
The differentiation of' tumor types as relhted' to smoking habits in
various groups with clinically diagnosed lung cancer has again been
incestigated.in several recent studies. In one study (I9)y of'417cases
of IiistologicaIly'pror.en lung cancer, 87 percent were smokers. Among
the squamous'cell cancer cases 89 percent were smokers; among the
undifferentiated cell cancer cases90 percent were smokers, and among
those widh adenocarcihomas; 60 percent were smokers.,A study (99)
dealing specifically with alveolar cell cancer of the lung reports that
91 percent of the 180 males in.whom this,tumor type was diagnosed
were smokerss and~ simillurly, that. 65'5 percent of th'i e 85 females with
this.type.tutnorwere:smokers..Anotherstudy (10!~~)~wasmadeof lung
cancer cases in nonsmokers, defined as persons.smoking,notmore than
oneeigarette.a day for '10 years: This study group included eight.males
and.26females.. Ofthisf gronp,.only fourpatients had epidpxmoid
carcinoma (tiwo males andi two, females). Both males had a history of
occupationaIl exposu',re to respiratory irritmits,. Ofthef two women,
one had an unusual history of'.circinoma, including multiplebasal celll

A study (1) was made.of.666histologicall'y provem cases of lung

dogs were sacrificed at the time the last five smoking dbgs were sacri-
6ced. Lungs of the dogs exposed to cigarette smoke showed microscop-
ically the presence of dilated air spaces especially beneath the pleural
surface. Here the albeolas septa showed a fibrous thiickening, of the
walls with areas of rupture and dilated ain'sacs. Padlike attachments
to alveolar septa were found. These zones of connective tissue sur-
rounding dilated air sacs were also visible macroscopically as white
areas on the lung surface. There was no thickening of the walls of
small arteriesand.art'eriolleswithin the lung-'Il'he lungs of.t'he control
dogs were normal in appearance with none of these changas: These
abnormalities approximate '1Sut are not fully concordant with some
of the typical pathological findings in human emphysema. This es-
pcriment does indicate that inhaledl cigarette smoke apparently can
damago the pulmonary parenchyma of dogs. Other findings (6) as
yet. unpublished,indicate that abnormalities of the bronchial epi-
thelium resulted thatt approximate many of the histopathologic find-
in,s of human chronic bronchitis.
Rockey et al. (64;) have' noterl'' that cigarette smoke' produces bron-
ehial andl parenchymal changes in dogs that approximate some of the
histopatlmlbgic findings found in human smokers who have chronic
I;ronchitis and/or pulmonary emphysema. Mouzalris (57)i has.noted
similar changes in rabbits, and in dogs exposed to cigarette smoke
through tracheostomies.
RESCrMt:.
Researchers carry.ingg out pathological studies have', consistently re-
porte.d epithelial hyperplhsia of the bronchial tree associated with
smoking:.lThey have also reported thatt fibrosis and emphysematous
chamges in. thelung' parenchyma, although observed amongnon-
smokers, occur much more frequently among men and women who have
histories:of smoki'ng:. Chamges'in the lungg parenchyma„approxilmating
some of the changes noted in human emphysema, have also been pro-
dnced experimentally in dogs by exposure to cigarette'smoke.
CILIATOXIC EFFECTS OF CIG?,RETTE SMOKE
'17Setoxic effect of tobacco'e smoke on the.ciliary' defense.'mechanism
of the respiratory system has been confirmed by additional espari-
mentall studies (9, 10, 13, 93, 24, "6y 27;, !Y5; 47, 77, 78) which seek
too determine more exactly the mode.of action of the ciliatoxic agents
contained in tobacco.smoke., As, yet„ hydrogen cyanide and acrolein
appear to havetlhee greatestl.ciliatoaic effects.of the agents that have
been id'entified in the gaseous phase of tdbacco smoke„although for-
107

siive inhalation experiments probably relate to the relatively small'T
amounts of smoke aerosols thatt bypass the nasal passages.. The defen~
sive nature of'the upper respiratory tract against airborne irritants'as has to be fully appreciated
in the evalluation of any passive inhalationt
study.
A',ctive inhalation studies with tracheostomizedl dogs, ascarrted out,
by Rockey, (79; 80) and Auerbach (Q),, suggest that this approacb
may lead to the induction of bronchogenic carcinoma.. The cHange in
the bronchial' epithelium after 1 year. of active smoking indlcates -
early pathological changes thatmay, upon continued smoke esposure,~
lead to tumors in thebronchie rl_o~
So far, neither passive nor active i:nhalation studies have contributed
k`
to our knowledge about the nature.of the tobacco smoke carcinogens.
Studies with the particulate maBter, tar;,of cigarette;, pipe, and cigar
smoke;, however, have clearly demonstrated that at the site of applica-~
tian tumors can be induced. Tumors have been induced on the skin
`'
of mice and rabbits, the ears of rabbits; the. subcutaneous tissue. and
hill m. of rats and the cervices of mice (9,11; 22, 31, 32, .48, 48; 61, 7¢,, '
82; 83;,81y,.1D7,.108). ~.
OnPy relatively few investigators have been concerned with the `
nature of chemical carcinogens in tobacco smoke (47, 84:, 107). tYl-
thougJi the acidic and nicotine-free basic portions of'tobaeco~ tar had
been fbund to have weak tumorigenic activity, the only fraction shown
to have induced significant numbers of'tumors is fraction B'f of the )
neutral portion (2 percent of the whole condensate) (10A'). This S~
fiact'uon was further fractionatedi into three subfra.cNonsfrom which Lonl.y I3,, was shown to have
tumorigenic activity (Q7),. The E, frac- :
tion equals 0.6 percentt of the tar and combines all aromatic hydro-
carbonss with threeee to seven riitgsincl'uding tfie carcinogenic ones. "
71his can be considered as evidence that in in vivo studies, the poly- T
nuclear aromatic hydroc,arbonss are the major carcinogensins tobaeco
smoke. Although these compounds albne can account for only a small ~
portion of. tlhe t'umorigenic activ.ity of tobaeco tar,. they are; neverthe ~
less, the onl!y identified carcinogens and tumor initiators in tobacca
smoko shown by experimentation to be biologically active. Their ~,
tumorigenic effect is enhanced by the presence of tumor-promoting
agents in the smoke.

bacco extract and tobacco smoke condensate can act as promoters to,
mouse. skin previously treated withl tumor-initiating carcinogenicc
polycyclfi6 aromatic hydrocarbons. (1D; 12, 96, 107). Although somel
tumor-promoting, activity of tobacco "tar" can be explained by somee
phenols and carboxylic aucids; additional tumor promoters in tobacco~
products,remain to be isolatedland identifiedL
It is important, however, that a significant decrease of'the polil9-
nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco "tar"7eads to a significant,
decrease of the overall activity of the "tar" on mouse skin (9, 46;1108y,
109)-
Itr summary, experimental studies have demonstrated that the par-
ticu[ate matter of tobacco smoke, "tar," is tuunorigenic: Sbme poly-
nuclealr aromatic hydrocarbon-careinogens have been identified ascon-
tributingsignificantly totlla overall tumorigenic activity of tobaceo.

The search continues for an experimental animal system in which
the inhalation of tobacco smoke will produce malignant
tissue changes closely approximating those observed in human
pulmonary cancer. VVlien dealing with passive inhalation of tobacco
smoke,however, a problem of the defensive barrier of the nasallpassage
is intToducedl So far; dogs inhaling cigarette smoke: through tra-
cheostomies seem to be the most promising system, but there are
problems in keeping the experiments going for the length of'time.nec-
essary for lung cancer to develop. Additional research is needed using,
cultured lung tissue together with autograft and homograft studies to
determine in vivo results: Additional insight may thus be gained intio
in vivo systems. It should be noted, however, that it may not be possible
ever to achieve histologic ident'ity in pulknonary cancer production, not
only because of difficulties in duplication of man's smoking action for
reasons of anatomic and physiologic differences, but also because of
inherent species' differences in cellular response.

CANCER OF THE. BUCCAL CAVITY AND PHARYNX (LIP',
IvfOUTH, THROAT).
The S'urgeon General's 1964 Report concluded that the causal re-
lationship of pipe smoking to the development of cancer of the lip
appeared to be established. Although there were suggestions of' a
relat'ionship between cancer of'other specific sites of the oral cavity and
the several forms of'tobacco use, their causal implications could not be
stated at that time.
The National Center for Health Statistics (94) reports that.dUring
1964, 28'female8 and 157 male deathsoecucred fromm cancerof the lip.
Duringthe.period 1950-64, malemortalitp from this disease declined
about 67 percent. This was partially doe to changes in thediagnost'iio
classification. but was mainly due to increased early diagnosis and
therapyr. Duringthe~ period.195S-64. whenn the: seventh revision of the
International Classification of Diseases was in use,, total' mortality
from cancer of the lip remained about the same, but when analyzed
by age,,substantial decreases occurred in this death rate for each 10-
year agegroup.from 55-84 years.,
As for cancer of't'he oral cavity, other than the Tip, the total death
ratee showed no marked variation from 1950-64 (3.1 and. 3.3'3 deaths.per
1001000~population;..respectively)~In.196'4,t'he deathrate for cancer
of these sites in the male populatiom was about three times the cor-
responding rate in thee female. population (5.1 and 1.66 deaths per
100j000population,.respectikely)..

Insufucient information is provided. in this study to specify in detaiD
the past smoking,historiesy but the data suggest that cigarette smoking
maybe related to adenoearcinoma in some instances.
The preeeding studies indicate that squamous,.undifferentiated, and
oat-ceil carcinoma rarely occur in nonsmokers. However, it appears
that cigarette smoking may also be associated with. alveolar cell car-
cinoma and glandular carcinoma of the bronchii. This'relationship has
lieen previously suspected. In fact as early as 1950 Wynder and Gra-
luam (105) demonstrated this relationship. This was also shown in the
s3udy by Haenszel(.49) . Greaterstandardization and'.precisionof tiiag-
noses are needed to establish how few cases of undifferentiated or squa-
mous carcinoma occur in nonsmokers who have been established to have
never smokedl.appreciable amount's during their lifetim.es. I'f 100 per-
centaccurate.smoking histories were obtainable on. every case of' lung
cancer, iit.is suspected thatvery few cases of undifferentiated or squa-
mous cancer would be found in persons who hadi never smoked.,
A report (98) on lung cancer in uranium miners noted a. frequency
of lung cancer, occurring almost entirely in the cigarette-smoking
miners, greater thhan the frequency to be eapected'in a similar sized
cigarette-smoking nonuranium mining, populktion. A recent report
(85) on bronchogenic carcinoma in asbestos workers also noted an in-
creased frequency of lung cancer, occurring entirely in the cigarette
smoking asbestos workers. This fiequency was greater than the frer
quency to be expected for a similar population of cigarette smokers
who were not asbestos workers. These reports suggest that cigarette
smoking may interact with certain other environmental exposures to
increase the frequency of! lung cancer occurrence st'lll further.
Analysis of occupation and other environmental exposures must be
performed simultaneousljr to detect which interactions with smoking
seem to be especially dangerous.

The Doll andi Hill study reported their data in. terms of cancer of'
the larynx or trachea (see tables 14 and 15) for.relationships with
type and amounts of tobacco smoking.
The. Canadian study did notprovid'e separate data on~ cancer of
the laryns.. No additional information has become available, since the
Surgeon General's 1964 Report, relating the several forms of' smok-
ing, i.e., cigarettes, cigars,. and/or pipes, to speci5c.laryngeaL cancer
sites (intrinsic versus extrinsic larynx).
The study previously referred to (69) which analyaedl the develop•
ment of second sites of cancer after cure of a primary ora3i cancer„
reports that of' 37 smokers who stopped smoking, none developed
cancer of the ]hrynx but that four of' 65' continuing smokers developed
cancer of the larynx. Although. small numbers are involved, beneficiali
aspects. of smoking cessation are suggested.
Ad'ditionaL epidemiological evidence supports the previous con-
elusion that cigarette smoking is a~ sigpificant factor in the causation
of cancer of the Paryna.

The. Surgeon General's 1964 Reportconcluded:: "The evidence on

CANCER OF THE STOMACH
I
The S'urgeon General's 1961 Report statedl that no relationship has
been established between tabacco use and stomach cancer. No new
evidence refutes this stat,ementl.Epidemiologieal evidence,does not. show a significant relationship
between smoking and stornachl cancer. The overall mortality ratios,
although greater than f'or nonsmokers, are smaller4han for any other
disease related to smoking. There is also no gradient with tlhe amount
of Bobaccoo smoked.

Because of the association noted between esophageal cancer and'
~
aleohol consumption reported in the Surgeon General's 1984. Report, .~.
a study (58) was undertaken to consider the possibility Uhat the car- •-
cinogens known to be present in toliacco smoke could penetrate esopha- ~:
geall tissue more readily, if dissolved in aqueous solutions of ethanol. .~+
11Qice were' esposedl to several compounds by intraesophageal tubatlon
~
Tissues were then hen removed and studied by fluorescence microscopy. ,.-
Deeper penetration and a different distribution were found when
benzo (a)pyrene was di'ssolved in aqueous solution of ethanol as com- °
pared to benzo (a)pyrene dissolved in olive oil. It was also found that
benz(a)anthraceme and flhorantlhene dissolved in ethanol solution or
aqueous cafl"einesolution, could penetratethe' epithelfiumof the
esophagus:

fi've-fold increased risk of dying from, esophageal cancer is associated

The Surgeon General's 1964 Report did not report on cancer of
the pancreas..
The more recent epidemiolbgic evidence shouss an increase in the .-
'
death rates and mortalit ~ ratios for pancreatic cancer among male
cigarette' smokers (/r.0;, J~.9}~.. Comparably elevated ratios are noted for w
females but not to the estent, noted for males (40) (see tables 22', 31, f
32, 33):. Both.the LT.S. veteransstud}r (49) and the Canadian pensioner= "
study. (8) reveal a gradient of mortalfity risk increasing with the,'
amount of cigarett'es smoked. I)ata, are insuthcient to draw any con=

F[oUask.-Percentagedistribution bgbirth weight'of infantsof mothers who
did not smoke dhring pregnancy and of thoaee wboo smoked.d one pack or more

9ourcerblacDfahon,.B., et al. [tig.1 (19).][.
Steele (.?9) suggests that smoking is associated with suddem unex-
pected deaths in infancy. The relationship of smoking in mothers to
increased fetal morbidity, either perinatally or after long-term follow-
upy hasnot been adequately probed and is a, major area for future
researchL
.
Some studies show a, relatiotvship between smoking and decreased
gestationall age (6;.8; 32) ; others donotl(7,. W)..
Gestational age probably is a better indicator of fetal prematurity
than birth weight. Therefore, it rmay better reflect perinatal risk. Yet
even in thestudiesshowinga.correlation.to smoking, this.relationship
is less marked than that to birth weight. (6;. 8, 24, 32'), This may be
due to the relative ditficulty in d'etermini'ng the last menstruai period
accurately and t'hereforethetrue.gestutional age.
Themechanisms by which smokingaffects pregnancy have not been
elucidated. Events influencing decreased fetal birth weight have been
attributed to several factors:
1- Placental vasoconstriction due to nicotine. No direct' evidence of'
this exists at the present.time: The effects of smoking on uterine blood
flow are being conducted in animal experimentation (R)_,

has advantlages which were discussed at the 1967 behavior research
conference (8). The.use of such laboratory methods and controls has
been shown to be particularly useful in communicalcionsresearch,
inc]uding the study of factorsthat.affect a person's acceptance and use
of health information. More systematic efforts are neededl which will
relate the content of'the message, the.form of the message, the kind of
medium used; and the characteristics of the co®mnnicator to changes
in smoking behavior which are also related~ to the psychosociall nature
of the target audience. In particular,,emotion.provoking communica-
tions need to be studied in relation to. various . factors. that are known
to maintain actions, such as. public commitment andl conformity to
group norms.
As in the case with epidemiological investigations, however, itis
probable that more prospective research studies. combining, social-
psychological, sociological, and anthropological concepts must be car-
ried outbefore a better understanding of smoking behavior initiation
(or non-initiation), continuation, or change can be a,chieved.,

There have been no reported. studies analy.zing changes in the
bladder tissue of' smokers compared with nonsmokers. Studies of this
type would be helpful to determine if smoking is associated with
pathologic changes commonly thoug)It to be. premalignant in other
types of'tissue.

The Surgeon General's 1'964Report points out the association be-
tween heavy smoking and exeessiive alcohol intake: In view of the
fact that"The increased death rate fiom cirrhosis among, smokers
may reflect the consuamption of alcohol and associated nutritional
deficiencies rather than the effect ofi cigarette smoking" (5);, further
research is needed to elucidate the association between smoking andl
cirrhosis of the liver.
EFFECTS OF S1ISOKII; G DURING PREGGNAIv CY
The current neavliterat'ure on.pregnancy and smoking supportstheSurgeon. General's findings that
there are a greater number of "low
birth weight" babies and premature babies as defined by weight alone
(,2,500 g.) in those women who, smoke during their pregnancy (6y 9,
.
187 QQ,, 21!„ w4-26, 28, 30-32, 36):. Furthermore, this decreased weight
has been shown to be consistent in each trimester ($8, 31', 3£;.34, 36))
and is proportionall to the amount.smoked during pregnancy (5, 2¢-
2G',30-32,34, 36).,
There are many factors which affect the outcome of' preegnancy:
These include constitutional, pathobiological and psychological fac-
tors. Multiple-regression analyses of these various factors have shown
smokingto be a: significant negative independent variable with respect
to birth weight (1;5, $7):.
Smoking has been linked to ~ increased incidence of. abortions and/or
stillbirths (6, , 25; 26„ 28, 30, 36), prematuree rupture of inembnances.
(30-32) and decreased male/fernale~ birth ratios (,11;.25, 26) ;',however;,
other studies do not support these findings (7, 9; 2'4,. 3D-32)'..,
The significance of low birth weight and premathrity in regard t'o
increased fetal and infant mortality, has.not been clearly demon-
stratedL Most studies show no ii creased mortality (9, 31, 32). How-
ever; Xerushalmy (34) and Underwood (32), point out that although
the overall mortality isthe same between infants oL smoking versus
nonsmoking mothers„premature.baliies (asdefined by birth weight of
less than. 2,500 g.) of smoking mothers have decreased mortality.
Other studies show a slight but signifi:cant increase in fetal mortality
for mothers who smoke (.6, 8):.. blacltiiahon. (19) shows. that rather
thann increasing the proportion of lbwbirth weightt babies, smoking,
actually causes a. shift to the left in the entire weightl distribution
(fig. 1).
Jansson (15) in.liis studly states :: "Thus, in 2he absence of other com-
plications, smoki'ng mothers seem to makee a proportionallygreatsr
contribution to infants in the weight group jjust below 2;500: g. wrhere
the prognosis is betrter:"

2.. Increased carbon monoxide in cord'blood (l$).
3.. Decreased carbonic anhydrase activity due to increase in cord
carbonmonoxid'e (%0).
4'.. A postulated direct effect on the fetus of some toxic agent'in
cigarette stmoke:
5'. Decreased caloric intake due to decrease in. appetite.of smokers
(1P). Several studies have shown that there is no difference in. weight
gain during pregnancy between smokers and nonsmokers (28, .7D, 36).
Since smoking in general, does decrease appetite, it mightbe.weTl to
consider adifference in the type and/or distribution of caloriointake
bet'ween smokers and nonsmokers.
Sumar (17), hasshown an inerease in human uterine activity after
smoking, both in frequency and magnitude of contractions: However,
these findings weru not observable in every patient.. There was no
significant effect of nicotine on myometrial st!rips in vitro from preg-
nant human uteri.
King and Becker (h,,1B) have done experimentall work with nico-
tine.one pregnant rats. High concentrations of nicotine had.greater
toxic effects on: pregnant rats.than controls. The offspring were light'er
in weight and survived less well tham controls.
REscd
Clearly, more research is needed to el'ucidate the significance of the
relationship~ of smoking, in pregnancy and lt w birth weight. Addi-
tional long-range morbidity studlies are needed, as well as studies on
the effect of smoking on uterine activity and placental blood flow.
Smoking does have an effect. on the outcome of pregnancy.. How-
ever, it is not known whether this effect is deleterious or not.
IIntil such evidence is presentedl so as to clearly define the role of
smoking in pregnancy, it is more prudentlt at this time to adlvise
pregnant women: to stop or decrease their cigarette-smoking practi.ces..
SMOKING AND ACCIDENTS
The most'.obvious cont'ribution of smoking to accidents is as a cause
of fires. Estimates of the proportion of'fire loss due to "smoking and
matches" (includes fires attributed to careless smoking and the care-
less use of matches and lighters by smokersy does not incllude misuse
of'f matches by children) vary from 19 percent to, 25 percent. The.

epithelium. Dsophageal epithelial. cells'with atypical nuclei were found
far more frequently in cigarette smokers than in nonsmokers. The term
"atypical nuclei" describes nucleii with an irregµliar distribution of
chromatin.,Other abnormal changes includrllg giant nuclei may also be
present. Basal cell hyperplasia and hyperactive glands also were found
more frequently im cigarette smokers than in nonsmokers. An in-
crease in frequency with amount of cigarette smoking was noted for
both epithelial cells with atypical nuclei and basal cell hyperplasis.
Atypical nucleil in epithelial cells were also more frequently found
in ea-cigarette smokersas cvmpared'.to nonsmokers. Tables 20 and 21

venting duplication and wasted effort, developing better measuring
instruments, and providing assistance in conceptua'liaing, new theo-
retical models or further developing approaches already proposed.
Much prior research, in the psychosocial aspects related to smoking,
while yielding valuable data and suggestive theory, has been concerned
largely with discrete variables or at't'ributes and has looked for gross
differenees between smakers and'. nonsmokers. Since it is unlikely that
such research will discover that either group possesses an attribute
that is, unique to it other than the behavior of'smoking, the ability
of any single attribute to differentiate between tliese.two populations
is; bound to be limited. It is because of this that a number of investi-
gators have turned toward trying to distinguish subgroups of smokers,
as. well as toward developing more unifying concepts. Tihese efforts
are part of'the attempt to obtain greater insight into the dynamics of'
smoking and develop more powerful predictive instruments..
One area that. shows conceptual and methodological maturation is
that of.the.study of smoking and personality. Much prior research
studiedd snnokingin relb<tion tosucho conceptss as exttoversion,., intro-
version,neuroticism, emotional stability,. orality,, femininity, mascu-
linityy, hypochondriasis;, psychosomatic symptoms, risk taking and'~
chance orientation, psychopathic tendencies, achievement needis, social
approval, relationships to authority, independence, aggression, and
the like.
At the 1066'behavior research conference,,it was pointed out that
a better understanding of the to&vl personality stbucture must be
achieved in order to increase understanding of some of.the psycho-
logical correlates of' smoking. F'actor and hierarchical models have
much to contribute to this approach (1). At.the1967conferencethist and other points pertinent to
personality research.related to smoking
were discussed„ andd a reminder of' thee utility off multivariate tech-
niques was repeated (f'l1).11oward this end these investigators are.now
studying university students, seekingg factors in the realm of person-
ality tintegcation such as experience of. control,. scope of' awareness,.
reality contact,,self'-insight,, temporal perspective, independence, anxi-
et'y,, and the like. After these factors have been identifiedl they can be
used as independentt varisbles inn testingg hypotheses suggested by otherdevelopmemts, such as the
recently developed typology of smokers,
illustratling the potential yield from a cross-fertilization of unifying
concepts.
Theories which emphasize the role of anxiety in the development of.
personality andinthe understanding of personality dyinamics (7) pro-
vide a unifying frame of reference which, when combined with an
understanding of the gratiflcat.iions derived from smoking„may lead to
useful explanations and investigations into smoking behavior. They
may also provide some cohesiveness to research. on suchi concepts as

SMOKING AND CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER'
Increased mortality of smokers from cirrhosis.of the liver is found
imthe prospective studies. This has generallgbeen thoughtto be largely
secondary to an association between smoking and heavy alcohol aon-
sumption.. Published dlataa are inadNuate to test this interpretation.
The three prospective studies (1; $, 3, 4) all show increased d'eath
rates and mortality ratios from cirrhosis of the liver in cigarette
smokers.

guilt, self-punishment, need to fail, and ri'sk-taking behavior as they
relate to the initiat4on, continuation, or inability to diseontinue smnk-
ing; Concepts from~ depth psychology, and ego psychology in par-
ticular may additionallly illuminate the source and function of'so¢ne
of the apparent inconsistencies among,attitudes, beliefs, and behavior
noted by various investigators beyond that provided bydissonance
theory (2).
tknother area showing some growth is represent,edi by attemptt.o dis-
tinguish between the diffecent levels of dosage to which smokers expose
themselves beyond that indicated by the average number of'cigarettes
smokedi daily. Mlore sophi'stieated'dosage measurements (18)' obviously
have:applicatlion in epidemiological research. They mayalso prove use-
ful in psychosocial research. There is t.'he possibility that an interplay
exists between the degree and kind of exposure, . physiological and
psychologicall processes„ and thedynamics, mechanisms, or degree of
difficulty involved in. achieving Iong-term, cessation of'smoking.
Another conceptual developmen6 was contained in the proposal, re-
ported at the firsh of the national behavioral conferences (16) and.later
refined (15), ofl a new way to. define smokers-in terms of the smoker's
use. of cigarettes to help manage affect, i.e., emotions. Ftrom the types
of smoking identified (habitual smoking„smoking to increase positive
affect, to reduce negative affect, andy psychologically addictive smok-
ing) and from a theoretical discussion of the: dynamics involved in
their formation,, possibilities esisU for the development, testing, and
application of theories and t'echniques for producing cessation either
in a clinic or a natural setting.. PSy identifying differences between
smokers in the psychological use of cigarettes, the.typology makesi't
possible, to develop theories and techniques to reinforce behavior
change and toexpand knowledge of the dynamics of smoking behavior.
These concepts are undergoit g empirical identification and verifica-
tion at both the national level and in a varietyof clinical settings
studyingbehavior change.,
In one study (73)i, for example, which compared'tMree methods of
aid to people whoo were trying to give up smoking, efforts were made to
assess the subjects' progress, the nature of't.he change process, and the
social-psychological factbrs which influence the ability t'o give up
smoking and resist resuming. The investigators are analyzing their
data from the conceptual base of smoking types as well as'feorm~other
points of view in an examination of cessation processes.
The smoking typologyi s also.o being applied in.ank anallysis of a.survey
of adlults' and adnlescents''smoking habits and attitudes in the L?nited

SMOKING AND DIISTURBA\CES OF VISION
1
I
TOBACCO AAfBLYOPn1
Recent evidence points to the tobacco and/or alcohol amblyopias as
being manifestations of nutritional amblyopial (4; 7, 8~ 17;. 25, 26)'...
Various deficiencies in factors of the vitamin B complex have been
implicated (4;,6,7;.10;17,$'5,$6).
A new theory that chronic low vitamin B,e, levels potentiate the
toxic effects of cyanide in tobacco has recently been expounded
(8;10;$2;Q.4).
The anatomical lesion in amblyopiaseems to be, a demyelinization
of' the optic pathways, particularly in the papillomaculkr bundl'e
(1CJ,17, ~?5).
In view of the fact that cyanide is neurotoxic, more research is needed
in this area t'o further elucidate its.association wi!th.this disease entity.
OTHER DISE.tiSES
Several studies have hypothesized that Leber's:optic atrophy, which
also isattributeds to a.demy,elinization process in optic pathways,,may'
be associated with a defect in cyanide d'etoxification; which is aggra-
vated by the cy nnide in tobacco smoke (1, 27):.
VISII'AL t10IIITY
The Surgeon C.eneral's. 1964 Report, and. otihers; cite evidence of
increasedRevels of carboxyhemogiobin in smokers (20, 24'), due to tliee
carboni monoxide content in. tobacco smoke. It has been suggested that
a decrease in.nighttime visual discrimination in smokers is related to
this increasein: carboxyhemoglobinn levels (9; 15,.16, 19).., It may.' also
possibly be due to the relative anoxia.produeed by the'carbon monoxide
inhalation: from tobacco: smoke: A valueof only 5.percent carboxy hemo-
globirt saturation, not uncommon in smokers, creates a physiological
state of anoxia equivalent to being,atan elevationof 8,000 feet, with an
arterial O,, saturation.of only 91 . percent (15,,16)i.
RESIIEIE,
It is suggested that tobacco amblyopia is but a manifestation of
nutritional amblyopia,, which is aggravated by tobacco smoking. hloreresearch is needed on the
toxicity of tobacco, smoke,, with special con-
cern for the cyanide component. Experiments have shown a visual
discriminatiom deficit, possibly related to the carbon monoxide content
of tobacco smoke. Further work is needed in tlhis area.in~order to,
ascertlain anyelinical consequences..

There were other kinds of'analyses described in this research which
provide the. stimulus for further development and testing, of theory..
In this country, a parallel set of'surveys has been going on which
utilized.many questions from the above-mentioned survey just as that
survey also borrowed from it. Ccoss-cultural comparisons are thus
possibie:.
The national surveys of adult smoking behavior, beliefs,, and at-
titudes in this country stimulated, and were also based upon, an
organizing framework which. discussed some dimensions of a model
for behavior change (Fi). This.framework incorporated the coneept'ss
related to the typology of smokers previously mentioned and also
leanedlheaa•ily on a behavior model developed originall'y to provide
a,theoreti!cal base underlying participation in a mass X-ray screening
program (3, k,12).. Four dimensions of the framework.are discussedi
and postulated asbeing essential in considering whether smoking be-
havior change will or will' not take place. They are: The motivations
for change (e:g.,.t'he exemplarr.olk; economics, estheticsi,mastery,,and
others beside ttle health4}Lreat) ; the percept'ion of the threat (e.g,,the
awareness of the threat, the acaept'ance of the importanae of the threat',
the personal relevance of the threat, and.beliefs about the susceptibility
of the threat to intervention)~; the reasons for smoking inn terms of
affect management.,,andi the potential development and use of'alterna-
tive psychologicall mechanisms; and factors supporting or inhibiting
continuing reinforcement (e.g.,, the role of social forces, interpersonal
influences; the mass mediay the behavior and attitudes of' certain key
groups, and the general.level of acceptability of t'he behavior).
Baeked by the longitudinal data. at. the national level and subject
to. multivariate analysis, this conceptual framework can~ potentially
be developed to the point whereby the'parts may be related quan-
titatively.andy qualitatively to each other and thus afford a more'dy,iamic interpretation of the
behavior change under consideration.
The possibility a1Lo exists for the developm,ent.of an instrument for
the prediction of change, as wells as an opportunity for thwverification
of some prospective findings reported earlier (14). These constructs
have also since.lbeen extended to considerations of the process of either
taking up smoking or remaining a nonsmoker (5).
IIn another area: of investigation, one project (19) is.concerned not soo
mnch.with individhal d6fferences but with cultural differences in val-
ues, at.titudes, and behavior related to smoking among various ethnic
groups in. the Southwest and has as its main assumption the probable
existence of a common:core.of psychosocial factors operatingtopro.duce different motivation patterns
among young people'socialized'e inn
a~ particular culturall environment.

In 1965 theree were163y900' fires linked to smoking or the matches
used in smoking lcith, a,concomitant property.~ lossof. $80,400,000-in
1964, there were 159,4W fires and a property loss of $79,500,000 (5).
The statistics on the number ofl deaths attributed to those fires are
not avaiilable{ but it is.estilmated that 1,800 people per yeear willldie due
to fires caused by smoking and matches (7).
Smoking has been shown to cause decreased visual discrimination
especially under conditions of low illumination (4). This could have s
serious implications with respect tonight-time driving.
Several studies (1, ~?, 6)h:oveindicated an association between
smokingnnd traffic and industrial accidents, but the evidence is insuffi-
cient at. this~ time to draw any significant conclusions, J4ore research
is needed in. this area~
PSYCHOSOCI Afi, ASPECTS OF SMOKING
There. has. been. a sharp increase in the attention devoted to behav-
ioradl research si'nce the Surgeon General'§1964 Report. A.number of
new concepts have beenn develbpedl andd more sophisticated multi-
variate approaches are being used. However, because of the recency
of these studies, veryr little in the way of findfings has been published
on.mh'cch firm c,onchisions mav be based.
One of the byproducts of tlhe Surgeon General's 1964 Report has
been its stimulation.of more research in all areas of smoking, includ-
ing the psychosocial. bTuch research will soom be completed but has
nofiyet been reported in the literature.
Threee behaviorall science conferences have been heldd since the Sur-
geon General's 1964'Ifeport. The content of'these conferences are either
in print. (9) or will: shortly be published (11',.Q1),.These conferences
dealt withh many differentt studies andd research findings, theories,
methodological criticisms, and discussions on a number of important
issues. Among the primary purposess was thedevelopmente and speed-

SMOKING AND PEPTIC ULCER
Since the publication of the Surgeon G'eneral's1984.Report, three of
the continuingprospective mortallity" studies ($, 3; 6,7) have provided
additional information which eonfhcros the association between ciga-
rette smoking,and mortality from peptic ulcer, especially gastric ulcer..
The mortality ratios increase with increases in amounts smoked.. The
tables presented below illustrate the relationships involved. Although
Hammond's (6) studycontained a large number of females, insufficient
deaths from. peptic ulcer have occurred in cigarette smoking females
to provide statistically reliable data,.A trend is observable among cigar
and/or pipe smokers with regard to increased mortality from gastric
ulcer, but the number of deaths is too small fbr significant conclusions
to be drawn.

A recent survey (13),..based.on.a national sample of.421000.house-
hold interviews, shows that the prevalence of peptiouleer is almost 100
percent greater in male cigarette smokers and aver 50 percent.higher
in females who smoke cigRrettes as compared tothose males and femal'es
who had never smoked. PIammond's data (:5) shows twice the number
of cigarette smokers reporting the occurrence of peptic ull'er over.a
2-year follow-up period as contrasted to nonsmokers., This also in-
creases with i'ncreases in the amount smoked.
Severalsnall retrospectivee clinical studies (4,8, 12) havee shown
significantly more smokers and less nonsmokers in their peptic ulcer
patients as compared to control groups. Doll (P) reviewed various pro-
spective stugllies on gastric ulcer therapy regimes, such as : diet-bland,
normal,.high and low fat;, milk drips with alkali; drugs; and advice
to stop smoking. The best results;were obtained in patients who stop-
ped or cut down on their smoking habits. The Surgeon General's 1564
Report (14) points out the conflicting literature concerning the effects
of smoking, on gastric secretion and motility. Lee (10),, in a small
series of peptic ulcerpatients and controls;, showed that.after smoking,
74 percent of patients andi 58'percent.of controls had a significant rise
in free gastric acidity.. Those subjects with initially normall or hyper-
acidity had the great,estt response;, whereas;, of . those with iniAiall hy po-
acidity only 28 percent had an increasein gastric acidity. Five of nine
controls, smoking,a non-nicotine ci'garettepreparation„also had a rise
in gastric acidity, perhaps due to, factors in. smoke other than nicotine
or to oral stimulation-
