摘要

Research on the link between smoking and lung cancer reveals a troubling pathway through history that kept crucial information about the dangers of smoking from the public. The overwhelming evidence that smoking leads to lung cancer first was exposed in the 1964 Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health.1 Before then, smoking had been widely accepted, but the report increased public awareness about the dangers of smoking in relation to cancer.Lung cancer is prevalent worldwide, with particular elevations in developing countries.
