1,387 Citations1985D. F. CHURCH, W. A. PRYOR
Cigarette smoke contains two very different populations of free radicals; it is suggested that this Q/QH2 polymer is an active redox system that is capable of reducing molecular oxygen to produce superoxide, eventually leading to hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals.

In a 20-year prospective study on British doctors, smoking habits were ascertained by questionnaire and lung cancer incidence was monitored, there was certainly some statistically significant upward curvature of the dose-response relationship in the range 0-40 cigarettes/day, which may help explain why bronchial carcinomas chiefly arise in the upper bronchi.

The results support the concept of an increased vitamin C utilization in smokers, and suggest that lipid peroxidation induced by oxidants present in the gas phase of CS leads to potentially atherogenic changes in lipoproteins.
