RE: Risk vs B+W



There are numerous articles concerning reduction of risk after cessation of 
smoking.  Search PubMed and NIH for articles.  For a start try

1990 Report of the Surgeon General and
Health Benefits of smoking cessation, J.M. Samet, ClinChestMed 1991, 
Dec;12(4);669-679.

I have been searching for data that demonstrates the recuperative power of 
the lung; similar to the statement made here.  Can anyone point me to the 
data source.

Thanks

...A person who smokes for several years then quits will have a decreasing 
chance of lung cancer.  After 10 years of non-smoking the cancer risk is 
indistinguishable from background.  A person who smokes only 1.5 cigarettes 
in a life time has no added cancer risk.
