Less or more? ( dose from smoking)

[Emil Murat <kerrembaev@yahoo.com>]

Josh,

I agree with you, it is probably not well done study
if there is no Justification for the NUMBERS.

Nevertheless,

If we were talking about a legitimate study.

1. Do you know if they used filtered or filter-less
cigarettes in those studies?

One would think that filtered cigarette will give LESS
dose than filter-LESS....

If so.

2. What is the dose from filter-LESS cigarettes (Lucky
Strike's type) ?



Emil.

estimated 20 mSv/yr, 80 mSv/yr and 160 mSv/yr, each 
for a pack a day, I 
believe.  I did not keep a copy of them, because none 
of them gave any 
justification for their numbers, but thought I would 
pass this along 
anyways.
