American Journal of Epidemiology, 09/18/09
Freedman LS et al. – When current age and smoking duration were included in the statistical model, the authors show that the coefficient of a latency variable does not represent latency as such, but a balancing of the effects of age at initiation and time since cessation. They found a strong positive linear effect of duration of smoking, together with a positive nonlinear effect of intensity that levels off at higher intensities, and a negative effect of latency from 25 years onward. The latter finding implies that the effect of time since cessation dominates the effect of age at initiation, with risk decreasing sharply after smoking cessation. The relation of smoking variables to Warthin's tumor agrees with the patterns reported for lung cancer.
