WASHINGTON (UPI) — The tobacco industry said today there is no scientific evidence to support Surgeon" General Leroy E. Burney’s new charge that cigaret smoking is the chief cause of lung cancer, even with filtered brands. The industry suggested that the real villain might be polluted city i air. Burney, head of the Public Health Service, said that the weight of evidence to date implicates smoking as the “principal” cause of the nation’s increased rate of lung cancer. Give Up Smoking He said in an article in the i Journal of the American Medical that “unless the use of tobacco can be made safe, the i individual’s risk of lung cancer ' can be reduced best” by giving up smoking. Burney said that while the possibility exists, in theory at least, of' treating tobacco before it is packed into cigarets to eliminate the hazard of cancer, this has not been demonstrated in practice. The surgeon general said the use of filter tips has not been shown to be effective in “matertally reducing or eliminating the hazard of lu g cancer.” Contradicts Burney Dr. C. C.. Little, scientific director of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee, said scientific proof was piling up “that conflicts with or fails to support the tobacco-smoking theories of lung cancer ” He said that one new report “finds that people described as the world’s heav ie s t cigaret smokers have low lung cancer death rktes compared with people who smoke less but have been long exposed to urban air pollution.” Carl T. Hicks, president of the Tobacco Industry Information Committee, said Burney “admits that air pollution as well as many other factors are also suspected causes of lung cancer. However, he has the affrontery to concentrate his fire bn smoking.”
