1. SMOKING AND THE LUNGS
BOUCOT, KatLtarine R., M.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine and Clinical
Professo- of Medicine, Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania,
Philadelyihia
"In consult=.tion." (Medical Tribune, December 10, 1962, page 13)
S',,udies at the Philadelphia Pulmonary Research Project based on
6137 older ~,ten reveal only one proved lung cancer inn a non-smoker and
only one in a man who smoked less than 20 years, the author says in
replying to a question. "The incidence of lung cancer increases with
increasing t.egree and duration of smoking to the shocking figure of one
cancer amon,-; every 16 men who smoked cigarettes heavily for more than
i+0 years, " : ,he says.
'2'lomen have not smoked as long as have men. Forty years ago,
teen-aged girls sneaked an occasional cigarette but it was still not
considered 'lady-like' to smoke in public.... If smoking is the major
factor involved in causing lung cancer, we should see a marked increase
in squamous and undifferentiated cancer among women within the next
ten years."

"Chronic bronchitis." (Current Medical Digest, Volume 19, pages 71-73,
November 1962)
The msjor irritant to most of today's patients with chronic
bronchitis is inhaled tobacco smoke, the author says. Little success is
achieved in m_an_agement of the disease without total abstention.
MAISIN, J. & TShLEPIS, G., Cancer Institute, University of Louvain, Belgium
"Cancer of the _],ung and its treatment." (In Italian; Radiazioni di Alta
Energia, Voli:me 1, No. 3, pages 125-138, 1962)
Of 29~_, patients with lung cancer in this series, 257 or 85.9%
were known to b: cigarette smokers, and information on the others is
lacking. There were 291 men and only 8 women in the group; none of the
women smoked ci,;arettes. The authors say that women go out less, are
less exposed to air pollution, but are just as exposed as the men to
.respiratory inf=!ctions.
McKEE, Herbert, Swansea, Wales
"Smoking and lurrig cancer." (Letter; Lancet, December 15, 1962, page 1277)
Disc»z;sing Passey's suggestion that excessive mucus secretion
helps to origin.te lung cancer (Current Digest, August 1962, page 8), and
Sir R. A. Fisher's (1959) recording of the paradox that heavy smokers
run a greater r-.sk of lung cancer if they do not inhale, the author says:
"As the heavy s!ioker inhales over the years, basal hyperplasia continues.
Cell growth requires anaerobic glycolysis and one would therefore expect
that factors re=straining glycolysis would be produced in smaller amounts,
until, by accidont, one or more of them were deleted -- i.e., until the
potential cance;- cell was formed.... The smoker who inhales draws into
his lungs not oril.y tobacco but-oxygen, and the relative overgrowth of
potential cance~7 cells is delayed. People who smoke few cigarettes need
to inhale much __onger to initiate the cancer; and, in them, accumulated
mucus, by inter'ering with the oxygen supply of the potential cancer, acts
as prime promot=sr."
SIMPSON, J., M.D., DPH, Senior Lecturer in Public Health and Social
Medicine, UnLversity of St. Andrews, Scotland
"Chronic bronchLtis in England." (Journal of Chronic Diseases,
Volume 15, pages 991-1000, October 1962)
The correlation of bronchitis in England with air pollution
suggests that a,iy occupational risk will have strong environmental
connotations bu;, the influence of outdoor work in a densely populated
area will be afE'ected in one way or another by individual habits and the
way of life, th=~ author says.

Discussing various papers relating smoking to bronchitis
and lung cancer, he says: "Todd (T.M.S.C. Research Paper #1, 1959) showed
that the countryman, on average, smokes two cigarettes fewer each day than
does the l_ownsman. This is not a gross difference (9 against 11), but
it does mean a difference of 730 cigarettes a year or 14,600 cigarettes
fewer in %0 years and this cannot be ignored in partial explanation of
the higher prevalence of aggravated bronchitis in the towns."
2. CANCER RESEARCH
APPLEYARD, J. H., B.Sc., and JAFFE, A. A., B.Sc., Ph.D., Physical
LaboratDries, University of Manchester, England
"ElectricaL charges on the smoke from cigarettes and tobacco." (Physics
in Medi,2ine and Biology, Volume 7, pages 195-199, October 1962)
'he authors report on their development of a simple method of
measuring ;he net electrostatic charge on aerosols, and, among these,
smoke from various types of cigarettes and tobacco. They found that the
magnitude ;Lnd sign of the observed charge is a characteristic of the
brand of c-.garettes or tobacco, and that there are striking differences
between dii'ferent brands.
'Iritish cigarettes A to E ranged from +22 to +31+ in mean
charge per 35 cc. of smoke; a British/Turkish cigarette was +l0 and a
Finnish ci,;arette +9. American cigarettes ranged from +13 to -13,
and French cigarettes were -22 and -24. Cigarettes rolled from
British pipe tobacco ranged from +12 to -8. The effect of a filter
tip was neligible, the authors say.
"A comparison of our results with the limited statistical
data (Royal College of Physicians 1962) on the relation between smoking
habits and the incidence of lung cancer suggests that a highly positive
charged smoke may be more likely to be carcinogenic than one with a
smaller charge," they say. "The correlation is stronger, for example,
in Britain bhan in the U.S.A., and for cigarette smokers compared with
pipe smokera. It is not possible at this stage, however, to decide
whether the sign of the charge, or only its magnitude, appears to be
significant.
"`'he variation in sign and magnitude of the charge on the smoke
of differen; brands may be due to the use of additives, which are absent
from British cigarettes. It should be readily possible to control the
charge in this way. We have readily obtained a blend of tobacco giving
almost zero mean charge, for example, by mixing two brands which initially
gave sample-, of opposite sign."

"Medical follow-ip studies on veterans." (Journal of the American Medical
Association, )ecember 15, 1962, pages 1103-1109)
"MortaLity from 1919 to 1956 for men treated for mustard-gas
injury and for pzeumonia during the height of the 1918 pandemic was
compared (Current Digest, February 1961, page 1) with that of men with
wounds of the extremities to learn whether mustard-gas poisoning or
1918 influenza hid increased the likelihood of lung cancer," the authors
say. "For influ=anza, no effect was found, but for mustard gas, the
data are consist;_nt with an effect strong enough to double normal incidence."
A study now bein.3 organized in twins is concerned with a wide variety of
problems in humaa genetics, they say.
HUEPER, W. C., M.D., National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Md.
"Environmental aad occupational cancer hazards." (Clinical Pharmacology
and Therapeutics, Volume 3, pages 776-813, November-December 1962)
Govern_nental, professional and private perties engaged in scientific
and practical work in cancer have shown "astounding indifference and studied
aloofness" in tha face of the "potentially dangerous development associated
with the increasing artifactual carcinogenic contamination of the human
environment and of goods produced and used in daily living," the author says.
"It was only in recent years that a rather rude awakening from
this lethargic state resulted from the acute concern of the general public
regarding actual and potential cancer hazards.... (Among these are)
the impressive aad progressive rise in the incidence of cancer of the lung
during the past 50 years and its probable causal association with the
growing pollution of the general and occupational atmosphere with more or
less chemically well-definied carcinogenic industrial effluents and with
the rapid growth in the degree of personal air pollution through the
cigarette smoking habit."
The author lists scores of known or suspected carcinogenic agents
and includes in one table compounds suspected of causing arteriosclerotic
difficulties, including nicotine.

"Experimental study on effect of cigarette smoke condensate on bronchial
mucosa." (Journal of the American Medical Association, December 15, 1962,
pages 1094-1098)
One-fourth of 1 cc. of cigarette smoke condensate provided
by Dr. Fred Bock.was applied to the mesial wall of the left primary
bronchus of 130 dogs 3 to 5 times weekly. In 25 dogs the same area was
submitted to rubbing manipulations. The bronchial mucosa of 27 non-treated
dogs was also examined.

Pap%llomas were produced in two of the dogs treated with smoke
condensate, "' orecancerous changes" in 25, "carcinoma-in-situ" in 3, and
invasive care'.noma in 1, according to the authors, and none of these
changes occur~,ed in the other dogs studied. Inflamma.tory changes
developed in ,he dogs of all three groups, but these changes "were not as
persistent, a~,id the distribution was markedly smaller in the control
dogs than in ~he cigarette smoke condensate group," they say.

Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Md.
"Symposium on chemical carcinogenesis. Introduction." (Clinical
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Volume 3, pages 774-775, November-December
1962)
Discussing the symposium in chemical carcinogenesis reported
in this jourral, the author says, "In this group of articles, little has
been said abr-ut the most actively developing and the most promising
approach to The study of neoplastic disease, that of the role of viruses.
This biologic, environment of man is shared by other species, and it is
no longer teiLable to consider that such entities as the Rous virus of
chickens, thz: Bittner virus of mice, and the polyoma virus are one-species
laboratory cti.riosities. Indeed, the neoplastic potentials in hamsters of
the Simian V-_rus 40 and of the human Adenovirus 12 seem to be close to the
very lock of the human neoplastic secret."
3. SMOKING SURVEYS
ARNE'IT, John H., M.D., Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia, Pa.
"Smoking habLts of students at Drexel Institute of Technology."
(Journal of American College Health, Volume 61, page 78, October 1962)
In reply to questionnaires given to 1719 entering students
in 1960 and 1961, the answers indicated that 508 or 29.6% smoked, the
incidence of smoking being 30% in men and 24% in women. In June 1961
questionnaires mailed to all students who were about to graduate brought
answers from 312 seniors; 115 or 36.9% smoked, including 37.5% of the
males and 29.6% of the females. Eighteen broke the smoking habit while
at Drexel, two due to advice from the health service, while 49 acquired
the smoking habit at school.
"We have thus been worsted by 10 per cent in the first round
or our camp?,ign against lung cancer, and it behooves us to change our
tactics nexi, season," the author says. "This we plan to do."

BARRET, Kevin A., LRCP, S.I., L.M., DPH, Assistant City Medical Officer,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"High school st?idents' smoking habits." (Canadian Journal of Public
Health, Vo1i?me 53, pages 500-506, December 1962)
"Because of the increased death rate from lung cancer and the
statistical asscciation between tobacco consumption and the occurrence
of lung cancer nnd arteriosclerotic heart disease, the Calgary Health
Department staft decided to make a survey of the city's high school
students' smokir,g habits andd later to undertake an educational campaign in
the schools wit17, a view to preventing young people from starting the
smoking habit," the author says.
A que-tionnaire type survey was given to 7682 students. It
was seen that the students started to smoke at an early age, he says.
Most students b__came established smokers between 12 and 16 years, the
peak for boys bCing at 14 years and for girls at 15 years.
There is a high percentage of smokers in Calgary's schools and
many of these pupils buy their cigarettes illegally, he says. The highest
percentage of sviokers come from upper social class parents. The smokers
rate badly in o-oganized sport and very badly academically. They tend to
follow the example of their parents in the adoption of the smoking habit.
They took their first cigarette out of curiosity and continued to smoke
because they de.oived pleasure from it. The vast majority of them smoked
filter-tip cigar7ettes and would be prepared to stop smoking if the hazards
were proved to 1;hem, he says. Only 20.1% stated that they would not give
up the habit.
CANADIAN TUBERCTTLOSIS ASSOCIATION BULLETIN, Toronto, Canada
"Adults' bad ex;wple is followed." (Editorial; Volume 41, page 3,
December 196:?)
Answe7s to 8000 questionnaires filled in by school children
in grades III to XIII in Kenora, Red Lake, Fort Frances and Dryden Schools
indicated that 50 per cent of the children had their first cigarette
before they wei-;: eight years old, the editorial says. The years 10 to 15
are the ones in which those children who smoke become regular smokers
and it takes about two years to pass from the light to heavy smoking
range, Dr. E. R. Langford. reported to the annual meeting of the Ontario
Thoracic Society.
"Chiliren are surrounded by cigarette smoking adults and
bombarded with :!igarette advertisements," he said. Smoking habits of
parents undoubtedly affected children, analysis of the data showed.
Academic achievem.ent is in inverse ratio to the amount of smoking. He
advocated an effort to persuade tobacco companies to be more responsible
in their advertising.
Dr. R. B. Southerland, discussing lung cancer as an occupational
disease stated that carcinoma-provoking substances were used in some
industries but that cigarette smoking is the most commbn causal factor in
lung cancer.

HORNER, J. Stuart, M.B., Ch.B., DPH, DIH, Deputy Medical Officer of
Health, County Borough of Dewsbury, England
"Cigarette smoking and health education." (Medical Officer, November :
pages 305-308)
This is the complete history of a "comprehensive campaign of
health teaching and to evaluate its effects upon the pattern of smoking
in a school with 210 boys and 228 girls aged 11 to 19. At the end of
five weeks there were no significant changes in the pattern of smoking,
although there was some evidence that the boys had been influenced rath
than the girls. The author suggests that in order to assure greater
accuracy in responses, an initial survey should be followed two months
later by the "real" survey, by which means the confidence of pupils is
more likely to be obtained.
TAYLOR, R. M., M.D., FRCP(C), Canada
"The impact of education." (Acta Unio Internationalis Contra Cancrum,
Volume 18, No. 5: pages 702-708, 1962)
Replies to a questionnaire addressed to a sample of 2000
women in cities and rural areas throughout Canada, compared to a 1954
survey among women in the Manchester area of England, showed that only
5% of the Canadian women cited "cut down smoking" as a possible action
to reduce cancer, compared to 3% of the British women in 1954. "So much
publicity has been. given to the possible evils of smoking that it might
have been expected that more mention would. have been made of the possiblE
value of its reduction or elimination," the author says.
4. HEART AND CIRCULATION
63ILENS, Sigmund L., M.D. and PLAIR, Cassius M., M.D., Laboratory Service,
Veterans Administration Hospital, New York City
"Cigarette smoking and. arteriosclerosis." (Science, November 30, 1962,
pages 975-977)
The authors reviewed findings in 989 consecutive necropsies
Ln men performed between 1958 and 1961. Daily smoking of more than 1 1/2
oa.cks of cigarettes for many years was the criterion used to determine
heavy smoker of cigarettes; moderate smokers were those who smoked
:~. to 1 1/2 packs a day, and light smokers those who smoked less than a
yack a day. Cigar and pipe smokers and tobacco chewers were small in
1-um.ber, they say.
In a tabulation of the percentage of incidence of conditions
associated with increased severity of arteriosclerosis, "it may be seen
that there is no striking difference in the incidence of hypertension,
diabetes, obesity, gallstones, or cortical hyperplasia of adrenals in
n:)n-smokers and in the various categories of smokers," the authors say.
"Lt is clear that cigarette smoking does not tend to promote development
oE disorders that may contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis..

"A si,able minority of heavy smokers of cigarettes seem to
develop scleroti.c changes inn their aortas at a faster rate than non-smokers
and tend to hav.- slightly higher blood cholesterol levels. The incidence
of myocardial iTfarction is only very slightly higher in heavy smokers
of cigarettes t1r.an in non-smokers, and there is no consistent rise in
the incidence oT' such lesions with degree of cigarette smoking. The
incidence of otlrLer types of lesions related to arteriosclerosis is not
affected by smo':ing habits.
"The i'indings do not preclude the possibility that heart attacks
due to myocard-i_.l infarction ma.y be more severe clinically, and more often
fatal during th=:ir acute phase, in heavy smokers of cigarettes than in
non-smokers." H:lsewhere the authors say, "The relation between cigarette
smoking and heart attacks could be an indirect or even a fortuitous one.
Heavy smokers m-oy have other habits or characteristics that make them
vulnerable to m?rocardial infarets."
5. OTHER SYSTEMIC CONDITIONS
POTTER, John F. M.D., Associate Editor, GP (Published at Kansas City, Mo.)
"Cancer of the -_arynx." (Family Physician, Volume 3, pages 46-48,
November 196<?)
Two et;iologic agents of significance have been established
in laryngeal carLcer, the author says. "This disease is seen most
commonly among people who are heavy smokers and among those who have
had a heavy con:;umption of alcohol." Cancer of the larynx is seen
more commonly -t.<< men than in women in a ratio of about 1:10, and
is seen in the l'ifth decade of life in both sexes, he says.

"Epidermoid caroinomas of the oral cavity: A review." (American Journal

Among the traumatic agents most frequently indicted in oral
cancer etiology are chewing tobacco and sundry Asian mixtures, reversed
cigar smoking aud pipe smoking, the latter suggesting "the likelihood
of a chemical e;iology from the concentrated hydrocarbons carried by
the tobacco smo?se," the author says.

W-i-LSON, Edwin B., Ph.D., LL.D., Consultant, Office of Naval Researc:h,

"NDte on the epidemiology of peptic ulcer." (Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, Volume 18, pages 1924-1927, November 1962)
The author examined the tabulations on peptic ulcers provided
by Hammond & Horn (J.A.M.A., March 15, 1958:1295), in part as follows:
(T~Lble 1)
Caise of death Number of deaths
_ Smokin Observed Expected Ratio
Gastric ulcer None 0 -- 1.00
Cigarette 46 0 Inf.
Other 5 0 Inf.
Duc iena.l ulcer None 8 -- 1.00
Cigarette 54 25 2.16
Other 11 12 0.92
"It is noted that those who never smoked never died of gastric
ulc-:r," the author says. "This gave a zero under 'Expected' to go into the
den' >minator of the expected deaths and accounts for the entry 1Inf.t
(for infinity) in the ratio column. It is difficult to believe that with
a mI_Lch larger sample one would continue to find that non-smokers never
diet. of gastric ulcer, though the rate might be very small. The 46
cig?-rette smokers who died of gastric ulcer constitute enough to be really
siTr.ificant statistically; but the 5 'other' smokers are too few to be
si~+ificant and so the infinite ratio is not.
"Turning to duodenal ulcer, we find 8 deaths among non-smokers,
which is significa.ntly greater than 0 as found for gastric in the same
popl?Lation. The figure of 54 for cigarette smokers is undoubtedly
si&m-.Lfica.ntly greater than the 25 expected; indeed, of all the 14 different
diseases or disease groups tabulated by Hammond & Horn in their Table 1,
the laortality ratio of 2.16 for cigarette smokers for duodenal ulcer is
the greatest except only that of non-malignant pulmonary diseases (for
which it is 2.85).... Based on death statistics, the different sex ratio,
the <Lifferent age distribution, a.nd the different reaction to smoking make
the c:pidemiology of gastric and duodenal ulcer different," the author
concludes.

6. AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION CLINICAL SESSION
Following are excerpts from papers presented at the Clinical
Session of the American Medical Association held at Los Angeles, California,
November 25-27, 1962.
BRESLOW, Lester, M.D., Chief, Division of Preventive Medicine Services,
California State Department of Public Health, Berkeley
"Environmental carcinogenesis."
"Far ?'rom being a rare phenomenon, initiation of cancer by
environmental a,-;ents may be the most common pattern of origin of cancer,"
the author said: "Probably the greatest stimulus to this idea has been
the demonstratic)n by epidemiological research and other investigations
that cigarette :imoking is responsible for the phenomenal increase in
lung cancer. Already the leading site of fatal cancer in U.S. men, the
lung is becomin~; a frequent site for female cancer as well -- due to
cigarette smokirtg."
HAAGEN-SMIT, A. J., M.D., California Institute of Technology, Pasadena
"What is Los Angeles smog?"
"Ther=~ is general agreement that at present the emissions from
motor vehicles .:onstitute the largest smog source," the author said.
KOTIN, Paul, M.)., Carcinogenesis Studies Branch, National Cancer Institute,
Bethesda, Md.
"Polluted urban air and related environmental factors in the pa.thogenesis
of pulmonary cancer."
"The real, and at least until recently, progressive increase
of lung cancer appears almost certainly to be associated with the contamina-
tion of our respiratory environment with carcinogenic agents and other
environmental substances which serve to facilitate the action of these
agents," the author said. "The specific epidemiological pattern of lung
cancer incidence probably reflects the total of the combined effects of
these exogenous environmental agents as modified by endogenous host factors.
"The major emphasis of this presentation will be devoted to
exogenous factcrs including polluted urban atmosphere, cigarette smoke,
and viral infections. It must be emphasized that evidence for an exclusive
environmental rource or factor acting in the pathogenesis of lung cancer
is lacking. Tr.erefore, a discussion of air pollution and lung cancer,
independent of its relation to other environmental factors, is unrealistic....
"Sinc,e the chemistry of polluted urban air and cigarette smoke
are remarkably similar, it should be emphasized that much of what is
being presente,_'. as pertinent to the former will also be applicable to the
latter."

"Effects oe automotive exhaust on pulmonary function."
"During the past year, studies of the effect of exhaust mixtures
on pulmonary function of guinea pigs have been continued as part of a
pilot investigation," the authors said. "Guinea pigs are placed in
body plethysmographs and exposed through face masks attached to a manifold
ventilated with air or exhaust mixtures.... Measurements of pulmonary
function w;~re made under two types of exposure conditions (While breathing
clean air Ebr two hours, and tests every 15 minutes during four hours of
exposure to exhaust-contaminated air)....
"...the first phase of the response consisted of increased
pulmonary E'low resistance and increased tidal volume and decreased
respiratoi=_T rates. Flow resistance remained high during the exposure
period, bub rapidly returned to air, pre-exposure, baseline values when
animals were returned to clean air. Respiratory rates and tidal volumes,
however, sliowed a biphasic response which had not been previously
observed (Ln earlier tests). Thus, during the last two hours of exposure,
respiratory rates rose, following an initial depression, to levels
considerabLy higher than air control baselines. Tidal volumes decreased
during the period of accelerated rates....
''This laboratory work is, as yet, far from providing the clinical
data that :)hysicians need in order to evaluate their patients' responses
to 'smog.' As it progresses, however, and is supplemented by new information
from epidemiological and environmental studies, it seems reasonable to hope
that the n=:eded answers will be forthcoming."

"Tokyo-Yokohama asthma."
°'Over 3000 patients have now been evaluated in the pulmonary
function l~Lboratory at the U.S. Army Hospital, Zama. (Japan), during the
past two yoars," the authors said. "Of this 3000, 620 patients have been
diagnosed Ls having Tokyo-Yokohama asthma. All of these individuals
have a ne-;Ltive history of asthmaa prior to coming to Japan. All but 18
patients wore moderate-to-heavy cigarette smokers.
"Moderate-to-heavy cigarette smoking appears to be definitely
involved ia the contracting of this disease. Perhaps the irritating
effects of cigarette smoke makes the bronchial mucosa more suspectible
to the irr.tating and sensitizing effect of polluted atmosphere.... If
an individnal had this disease for many months or has had this disease on
more than one tour in this area, he runs the risk of developing permanent

"Chronic bronchi.tis and air pollution."
"Mort=.lity from chronic bronchitis is highest in the congested
and heavily polluted industrial cities," the author said. "The British
excess in chron1c lung diseases mortality cannot... be attributed to
such variations in inherent susceptibility associated with'sex, or aging
or familial pretLisposition. Factors external to the individual are a
more likely somce of the adverse British experience. Cigarette smoking,

Philadelphia
'"The complexity of the relationship between air pollution and respiratory
health."
"Chrouic bronchitis, one of the most important health problems
in England, has been statistically related to regional air pollution by
coal smoke, and to personal air pollution by cigarette smoke," the author
said. "Infection also plays a part.... (It) seems abundantly clear that
the relationshi) of respiratory health to air pollutants is a complex one;
that individual host response may vary; that pollutants and their
combinations va^y in kind, concentration and effect; that weather variables
are important; and, finally, that the effects of air pollution on bacteria
and viruses and their host's resistance must be considered."
GOLDSMITH, John R., M.D., Head, Air Pollution Medical Studies, California
Department oP Public Health, Berkeley
"Air pollution, morbidity, and mortality."
"The rates for chronic bronchitis and lung cancer are in general
lower in the UnLted States than in Great Britain, when comparable age
and sex groups a.re compared," the author said. "However, both these groups
of conditions are more common in urban that in rural areas and air pollution
has been thought of as the possible factor to account for these increases.
On the other hand, clear-cut relationships of cigarette smoking to both of
these conditions have been established in this country as well as in
Great Britain.
"Because different patterns of decisions are needed for reducing
the exposures, we may tend to separate the effects of cigarette smoking
on chronic lung disease from those of community air pollution on the same
conditions, but it is not reasonable to expect that the cells of the lung
will make such a distinction."

"Air pollution and lung cancer."
"The major emphasis of this presentation will be directed toward
exogenous factors including polluted urban atmosphere, cigarette smoke,
and viral iniections," the authors said. "It must be emphasized that
evidence for an exclusive environmental source or factor acting in the
pathogenesis of lung cancer is lacking. Therefore, a discussion of air
pollution and lung cancer, independent of its relation to other environmental
factors, is "nrealistic.
"Hcwever, sufficient epidemiological, clinical-pathological, and
experimental data exist to incriminate polluted urban atmosphere as an
environmental source pathogenetically related to the development of lung
cancer. Since the chemistry of polluted urban air and cigarette smoke are
remarkably similar, it is possible that much of what will be presented
as being pertinent to the former will also be applicable to the latter."
Discussing anti-carcinogenesis, they said, "Experimentally,
it has been possible to demonstrate that even the most potent carcinogens
can have their effect reduced or totally obliterated in the presence of
proper propoitions of inhibitors. This has immediate, practical significance
in that in all environmental sources of carcinogenic PAH industrial effluents,
automobile a:r-;d diesel exhaust, as well as cigarette smoke, a broad spectrum
of non-carcir.ogenic and weakly carcinogenic hydrocarbons are formed.
Experimenta7_1y these latter compounds unequivocally exert an inhibiting
effect, and ?inder actual environmental conditions they, in all probability,
exert a modi=ying or inhibiting effect on the total carcinogenic potency
of the milieu, in which they exist."

"I, _ is my opinion that polluted air (from both community and

"A _n_-mmber of statistical studies have made correction for this
factor; these quite generally show higher lung cancer rates in cities
than in rural areas when comparisons are made on the basis of equal smoking
intensity or when the comparison is restricted to non-smokers....
"It is very clear that the part played by place of residence
is small in comparison to the importance of smoking. However, as noted,
there is a cleai~ trend showing somewhat higher cancer rates in urban
dwellers after allowance for smoking.... Although an interpretation is
difficult, it wculd be a prudent assumption, still not proven,that
community air pcllution makes a significant, albeit, secondary contribution
to lung cancer cccurrence."

"The complexity of the relationship between air pollution and respiratory
health."
"Respiratory health, in itself, is not a simple concept and has
different meani=.gs for different investigators," the author said. "The
recording of tho symptoms of chronic bronchitis, e.g., cough, sputum,
wheeze, breathlr-ssness, etc., in a control population in relation to
either daily or long-term levels of air pollutants differs from the
recognition thatindividuals who have no clinical symptoms change in
relation to environmental factors when tested by complex pulmonary function
tests.... Uttei, confusion and misinterpretation will result unless we are
constantly clear as to which particular aspect of respiratory health is
being evaluated in any particular investigation."
"Health considerations."
"Both the products of industrial and automotive combustion and
of cigarette smoke can temporarily paralyze the cilia and depress the
self-cleansing mechanism of the respiratory tree, allowing the accumulation
or irritants, irLcluding carcinogens."

"Air pollution =.nd lung cancer."
"We r~-:gard it as established that the urban population has a
somewhat higher rate of lung cancer than does the rural population as
shown by the stl_Ldy of Hammond & Horn (1958)," the authors said. "Other
evidence point-I=Lg to an 'urban factor' as recently presented by Haenszel
and his assoeial;es (Current Digest, June 1962, page 4) indicates that
individuals borfi in rural areas but who later lived in metropolitan areas
had a higher rai;e of lung cancer than those who lived in metropolitan
areas all their lives.... (This survey) also indicates that for non-smokers
the difference _n rates in urban and rural areas is 'trivial.'
"A major problem of the epidemiologist in evaluating the factor
of air pollutioji is that the correlation between cigarette smoking and
lung cancer is of such an order of magnitude as to overshadow other factors."

"Diagnosti~: standardization in geographic comparisons of morbidity."
(Pages 650-854)
"For epidemiological surveys designed to follow up the clues
provided b~~ the crude geographic comparisons of vital statistics, a greater
diagnostic precision is required," the author says, describing British
efforts to arrive at standard clinical diagnoses. Meanwhile, different
practices i,n Britain, the U.S.A. and other countries result in an "excess"
of chronic bronchitis in Britain.
'The question is whether the reported excess in the British
population in general, or the urban British in particular, is an artefact
due to difzerences between certifying physicians in habits of diagnosis
and classification of diseases, or whether there is a real disparity in
the disease level in the various populations concerned," he says.
Tn Tables 1 and 2 he shows the varying diagnostic allocations
of "standard" cases by some 30 hospital registrars in Boston, Mass., London,
England and Bergen, Norway, on the basis of clinical records of a random

Smok;_rLg histories and the effects of air pollution episodes
together with hi.stories of bronchitis were collected in 1956 for a sample
of 6939 persons aged 18 and over; an "original panel" of 1070 of those
aged 30 and ove:r- who reported bronchitis, asthma or chronic cough; and a
"residual panel" of 524- who were interviewed in four follow-ups from
1957 to 1959. !:n the general sample, 50% currently smoked cigarettes and
50% did not; in the "original panel" there were 62% smokers and 38% currently
not smoking, and in the "residual panel" the figures were 65% and 35%
respectively.

cigarettes are harmful -- but I'm pretty sure they are.' The weight
of evidence seems to confirm his conclusion. There is certainly enough
evidence, in our opinion, to justify prompt HEW action. But the department,
we suppose, is as human as a department can be. Think what would happen
if Mr. Celebrezze slapped a ban on the sale of all tobacco products....
We humbly suggest that Mr. Celebrezze's boss would lose 40 million votes.

Taking Secretary A. J. Celebrezze to task for his "prohibition

says, "It is unlikely that those who recognize the noxious effects of
cigarette smoking advocate -- or will in the future advocate --
prohibition by ls.w of the manufacture, sale or smoking of cigarettes.
What is strongly recommended is an educational program to tell the public
of the hazards and to influence our youth not to acquire the habit. Isn't
it the role of the government to do more than inform the citizen? If the
day comes when scientifically irrefutable evidence links cigarette smoking
with cancer of the lung, will it not be the duty of the government to
educate the citizen to the hazards of an action that may be fatal for him."
