Garfinkel, L . Auerbach, 0 ., and Joubert, L ., "Involuntary Smoking<br />
and Lung Cancer : A Case-Control Study," Journal of the National<br />
Cancer Institute 75(3) : 463-469, 1985 .<br />
Another U .S . study, by Garfinkel and colleagues, is a<br />
case-control study of hospitalized women in New Jersey and Ohio,<br />
published in 1985 . It includes the following estimation of<br />
workplace <strong>exposure</strong> to ETS :<br />
The interviewer also asked about the average<br />
number of hours a day the woman had been<br />
exposed to the smoke of others at any time<br />
during the past five years, during the past 25<br />
years at home, while at work . . .<br />
The authors report the following :<br />
[The] OR for <strong>exposure</strong> at work during the last<br />
five years was 0 .88 [95% CI 0 .66-1 .18 ; 14<br />
cases, 52 controls] ; for the last 25 years, it<br />
was 0 .93 [95% CI 0 .73-1 .18 ; 34 cases, 118<br />
controls] .<br />
These two point estimates represent negative associations between<br />
reported ETS <strong>exposure</strong>s in the workplace and <strong>lung</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> in<br />
nonsmokers .<br />
