Williams, J. R.; Justus, C. G.
Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 24, 11, 1063-1066, Nov 74
The findings of this study indicate cigarette smoking causes more respiratory diseases than does air pollution. The 1970 nationwide health cost of respiratory diseases is estimated at $6.22 billion. The effect of air pollution accounts for between 1 and 5 percent of this total cost while cigarette smoking represents 68 percent. (MLB)
