Dear Dr. Potvin,

I don't have the reference at hand, but at our department, Dr. Christer Samuelsson wrote an
article about tobacoo and Po-212(?). I believe that article was in Swedish in the Swedish Physician
Journal, but he might have other references on this topic.

His E-mail is Christer.Samuelsson@radfys.lu.se.
