PART 2: READING


ARE YOU REALLY A NON-SMOKER?

The results of a study done in Japan showed that wives who did not smoke but were exposed
to their husbands' cigarette smoke developed lung cancer at a much higher rate than those
whose husbands did not smoke. For them, the risk of developing lung cancer was directly
related to the amount their husbands smoked. This was about one-third of the risk of
developing lung cancer taken by smokers.

This study strengthens the thesis that the effect of tobacco smoke on the non-smoker, which
has been called passive, secondhand or involuntary smoking, may be a cause of lung cancer in
the general population.

The study also strengthens the evidence which implies that passive smoking is a health
hazard. A study published last year suggested that passive smoking might cause damage to the
small airways in the lungs of non-smokers. Other studies have suggested that passive smoking
may worsen non-smokers' pre-existing chronic heart and lung conditions.

Lung cancer is a major health problem throughout the world. It is estimated that in 1997,
122,000 Americans will be told that they have lung cancer. Moreover, only about 10 per cent
of these will live another five or more years because of the ineffectiveness of available
treatments.

The lungs are the leading sites of cancer in the U.S. among men who are 35 and over. In
women, lung cancer deaths are rising so fast that experts expect them to exceed breast cancer
deaths by the middle of this decade, becoming the No.l cancer killer of women.

As evidence linking the rise of lung cancer with cigarette smoking has increased, many
experts have theorized that passive smokers have a greater risk of developing lung cancer than
those who are not exposed to smoke. Such theories are based on the knowledge that second-
hand smoke of cigarettes contains large amounts of toxic substances.

Mark the best choice.

a) experts
b) women
c) lung cancer deaths

5. The results of the study done in Japan showed that

a) lung cancer was seen more frequently among smoking wives than smoking husbands
b) non-smokers risked developing cancer three times more than smokers did
c) the risk for non-smokers of developing lung cancer depends on the amount of smoke they
are exposed to
d) non-smokers develop chronic heart and lung diseases when they are exposed to smoke

a) an effective treatment for cancer will be available
b) 12,200 Americans will die of lung cancer
