READ: Most Comprehensive ETS Report - 40,000-67,000 Deaths/Yr 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has just issued what it describes at "the most comprehensive report on the health risks of secondhand smoke ever conducted."  The report concludes that:
* ETS kills between 40,000 and 68,000 Americans each year
* ETS causes lung cancer, sinus cancer, and heart disease death
* ETS may cause cervical cancer, spontaneous abortions, cystic fibrosis, and other conditions
* Even outdoor exposure can present a serious problem

For the convenience of its members ASH has reproduced, IN A FORM IN WHICH IT CAN EASILY BE DOWNLOADED, SEARCHED, AND REPRINTED,  a word-for-word copy of the entire Executive Summary.  Also included -- and presented first on the page -- are a table showing the many different diseases caused  by ETS, and a chart showing the number of people killed or made ill each year by ETS.
