COULTER BRYAN 823-5745 Low tar smokers do best Smoking diseases declim Associated Press COLD SPRINGS HARBOR, N.Y. — The first “definitive evi dence” shows that persons who smoke low-tar and low-nicotine ciga rettes are less likely to die from lung cancer and coronary disease than high tar and nicotine smokers. However, the American Cancer Society said its analysis showed that death rates among those who smoke cigarettes low in tar and nicotine were still far higher than the death rates of those who never smoked. The findings, based on an analysis of the deaths of one million men and women over a 12-year period, were reported here Tuesday at a meeting on the “Origins of Human Cancer” at the Cold Springs Harbor Laborato- ry - For purposes of the study, “high” tar-nicotine cigarettes were defined as those containing 25.8 to 35.7 mil ligrams of tar and 2.0 to 2.7 millig rams of nicotine. “Low” tar-nicotine cigarettes included those with less than 17.6 milligrams of tar and less than 1.2 milligrams of nicotine. “Medium” tar-nicotine smokes were defined as those falling between those two groups. Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, who presented the findings, said there had been concern that death rates among smokers of low tar and nicotine cigarettes might increase because they would inhale more deeply and thereby take in more carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and “secret additives.” The survey showed that lung cancer deaths among smokers of “medium” tar-nicotine cigarettes were 10 per cent fewer than among smokers of high residue cigarettes. Lung cancer deaths from “low” tar- nicotine cigarettes were 26 per cent fewer than among high residue ciga rette smokers. Corresponding figures for heart disease deaths were 8 per cent fewer for medium tar-nicotine smokers and 14 per cent fewer for low tar- nicotine smokers. However, persons who up to two packs a day of low resid.i cigarettes had a higher death nti from lung cancer than those wl; smoked less than a pack a high tar-nicotine cigarettes. This® true to a lesser degree for heartfe ease. “We think it fair toss ing from high tar and nicotineci;; rettes to low tar and nicotine cigi rettes was at least a small stepinth right direction for those who tinned to smoke cigarettes,”! mond said, but added: Hammond also noted rates for pipe and cigar smokers double those for nonsmokers, pipe and cigar smokers have cants of the lips, tongue, mouth ail esophagus at rates as high, oi than cigarette smokers.
