吸烟习惯与肺癌之间的奇怪联系，在我们中的一些人看来，并不容易得出这样一个简单的结论：燃烧产物到达支气管表面会诱发癌症，尽管经过很长一段时间。例如，如果有可能推断吸烟是这种疾病的原因，那么同样有可能根据完全相似的理由推断吸入香烟烟雾是一种对预防疾病具有相当大的预防价值的做法，因为肺癌患者比其他人更少吸入烟雾。
THE curious associations with lung cancer found in relation to smoking habits do not, in the minds of some of us, lend themselves easily to the simple conclusion that the products of combustion reaching the surface of the bronchus induce, though after a long interval, the development of a cancer. If, for example, it were possible to infer that smoking cigarettes is a cause of this disease, it would equally be possible to infer on exactly similar grounds that inhaling cigarette smoke was a practice of considerable prophylactic value in preventing the disease, for the practice of inhaling is rarer among patients with cancer of the lung than with others.
