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.
