PY - 2008 DA - 2008/11/24 TI - Male tobacco smoke load and non-lung cancer mortality associations in Massachusetts JO - BMC Cancer SP - 341 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Different methods exist to estimate smoking attributable cancer mortality rates (Peto and Ezzati methods, as examples). However, the smoking attributable estimates using these methods cannot be generalized to all population sub-groups. A simpler method has recently been developed that can be adapted and applied to different population sub-groups. This study assessed cumulative tobacco smoke damage (smoke load)/non-lung cancer mortality associations across time from 1979 to 2003 among all Massachusetts males and ages 30–74 years, using this novel methodology.
