More Smokers Die
From Cancer Ills
SAN FRANCISCO ($ A “chain of circumstantial
evidence” shows that more men who are regular cigarette
smokers die of cancer and heart diseases than non-smok
ing men, a report to the American Medical Assn, conven
tion said today.
However, this may not be true
in women because they do not
smoke as much when older, the
report said.
Smoking was indicated to be most
harmful to regularly-smoking men
between 50 and 70 years old, with
their death rate as much as 75
per cent higher than their age
equals who don’t smoke.
The report is the result of a two
and a half year study by Dr. E.
Cuyler Hammond, director of the
American Cancer Society, and Dr.
Daniel Horn, assistant director.
The study was conducted in nine
states and dealt with nearly 300,000
men between the ages of 50 and
70.
No Positive Evidence ,
The report was based ion the
deaths of 4,854 of -thfr J 87,776 men
