Hole, D.J., Gillis, C.R., Chopra, C. and Hawthorne, V.M., "Passive Smoking and Cardiorespiratory Health in a General Population in the West of Scotland," British Journal of Cancer 299: 423-427, 1989. This publication reports additional information on the cohort study first published as Gillis, et al., 1984. From! a group of 7,997 persons, 243 males and 1295 females were classified as exposed to cigarette smoke from a cohabitant. The cohabitant was also interviewed along with the case. There were 428 male and 489 female controls (individuals who had' never smoked and whose cohabitant had never smoked). The RR of 2.41 (95% CI 0.45-12.83)~ present+ed! for lung cancer is adjusted' for age, sex, social class and cardiovascular variables. The very wide confidence interval reflects the fact that the estimate is based on only seven lung cancer deaths among cases and two deaths among controls. The authors claim that their study provides evidence for increased mortality from all causes among persons exposed to ETS. However, their point estimates are not statistically significant.
