Growing Evidence Of Link Between Cancer And Smoking
London, Mar. 31. .
A Government health report suld today, that evidence of a definite relationship between smok- ing and lung cancer "is accumulating."
The annual report of the Department of Health for Scotland did not give details of exten- sive studies of possible influence of tobacco but added "tobacco smoking is not the only cause of lung cancer" for there are many cases among non- smokers, "it scems also that a smoke laden atmo- sphere has some influence".
