Abstract
There is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that an association exists between cigarette smoking and cardiovascular disease, in particular atherosclerosis (Auerbach et al., 1965, 1976; Auerbach and Garfinkel 1980; Dawber et al., 1959; Doll and Peto, 1976; Eastcott, 1962; Kannel et al., 1976; Laing et al., 1981; Murphy and Mustard, 1966; Sackett et al., 1968; Spain and Bradess, 1970; Strong and Richards, 1976). Despite these considerable epidemiological data, the component or components of cigarette smoke responsible for this relationship and the mechanisms through which they mediate their effects remain unknown.
