Smoking linked to higher death risk among British doctors
London based study of 34,000 male doctors shows men under 70 who smoked faced about double the risk of death. Research by Richard Peto and Richard Doll notes smoking implicated in heart disease, lung cancer, and vascular ailments, with doctors reducing smoking from 9.1 to 2.6 cigarettes daily between 1951 and 1971.
