Relighting Butt of Cigaret Claimed To Be Cancer Factor By DI5LOS SMITH UI'I Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-"Dimp-ing" or "decking" may explain the challenging fact that the rate of lung cancer is much higher in Groat Britain than in the United States although the cigaret smoing rate is about the same. So believes a team of British medical investigators and sta tisticians who looked into "dimping" and "decking" among 1,000 Englishmen. To "dimp" or to "deck" is to snuff out a cigaret and save the butt for relighting. The Britishers believed there is very little of that in America. But among their 1,000 English men there was a lot of it. Among the 667 who had lung disorders other than cancer, 39.1 per cent had the habit, and among the 333 men with lung cancer, 53.2 per cent had it. Another Factor Suggested The difference in lung cancer incidence among British and American men is challenging to the scientists who associated cigaret smoking with lung can cer because it suggests some- thing else must be involved since the Britishers and Ameri cans seem equally addicted to cigarels. Indeed, the British investiga tors sain this was one of (wo fads which have not been sat isfactorily explained" even though they believed the evi dence associating cigaret smok ing with lung cancer was "over whelming." The other unex plained (act, in their thinking, is why the lung cancer rate is higher among city smokers than rural smokers In both coun tries. Their 1,000 men were all pa tients of a chest clinic. All were over 50 years old, all were cig aret smokers for '20 years or longer. The usual statistical comparisons of number of daily cigaicts over the same span of years revealed the usual asso ciation, that is, lung cancer pa tients had smoked more for longer times. Add C'omparlMHi To this usual comparison, the investigators added those of "dimping" and "decking." Sta tistically speaking, the lung cancer patients were more per sistent about it and had been for longer. Some relighted the same cigaret several times and rarely threw a cigaret away alter only one lighting. "Dimping" and "decking' was most closely associated with lung cancer among the men who smoked fewer than 30 cigarets daily. Their lung can cer incidence was statistically comparable to men who smoked two packs or more daily. The investigators suggested that the lighting of a cigaret was a more meaningful factor in lung cancer statistics than the smoking. Among their "dimpcrs" and "deckers" it was the number of cigaret light ings which had the closest sta tistical association with lung cancer.
