Abstract

The author comments on the study exploring the association between tobacco consumption and lung cancer which was published in Nazi Germany in 1943. He outlines the findings of the study which revealed that lung cancer patients were more likely to be moderate, heavy or very heavy smokers. He compares the 1943 study to another study by Mueller published in 1939.
