Unless the use of tobacco can be made safe, the individual person's risk of lung cancer can best be reduced by the elimina- tion of smoking, Burney said recent scientific studies also point to air pollution --from car exhausts, industrial smog and so on--as additional official would castigate the en- tire tobacco industry on such factors in rising lung cancer. flimsy statistical d Burney's article said the pub- lic health service believes that the following statements are justified by studies to date: 1. The weight of evidence at present implicates smoking as the principal etiological (causa- tive) factor in the increased in- cidence of lung cancer. 2. Cigaret smoking particularly is associated with an increased chance of developing lung can- cer. 3. Stopping cigaret smoking even after long exposure is bene- ficial. 4. No method of treating to- bacco or filtering the smoke has been demonstrated to be effective in materially reducing or elimin- ating the hazard of lung: cancer. 5. The non-smoker has a lower incidence of lung cancer than the smoker in all controlled studies, whether analyzed in terms of rural areas, urban regions, indus- trial occupations, or sex.
