So exactly 75 years today (May 27) since 1950 publication in JAMA of Wynder & Graham landmark paper on smoking and lung cancer. 75 years on, over 8 million deaths a year, and the tobacco industry still flourishes, knowingly selling and promoting a lethal product.

75 years this week since evidence confirming that smoking is lethal with Wynder & Graham’s landmark May 27, 1950 JAMA paper “Tobacco smoking as a possible etiologic factor in bronchiogenic carcinoma” then Doll & Hill’s historic September 30, 1950 BMJ “Smoking and carcinoma of the lung”.
