Stopping smoking
- What the doctors used to say about smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Nowadays, that may seem fairly obvious, but not so very long ago doctors didn't always agree that smoking was bad for your health.

The discovery that smoking is bad for your health caused quite a stir within the medical profession.

Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland,
ex-Director-General, World   Health Organisation

Over fifty years ago (1950), two doctors, Professor Austin Bradford Hill and Dr Richard Doll of the British Medical Research Council, published a scientific paper that shocked the scientific community. The report revealed something that we all now know as an undisputed fact. 

It was the first time that anyone had discovered an undeniable association between tobacco and cancer.

The findings, published in the British Medical Journal in 1950, were based on a survey of lung cancer patients in 20 London hospitals. The investigation was broadened to include other areas of the country and, in 1952, the researchers announced that "the association between smoking and carcinoma of the lung is real".

It took a full five years (until 1957) for the Medical Research Council to announce to the British public that smoking was without a doubt to blame for the increase in lung cancer. The Minister of Health declared that the UK Government now fully acknowledged these facts. He smoked a cigarette while he made his announcement!

In 1954, 80% of British adults smoked. Today, that figure is 26%.


Researchers linked smoking to cancer in the 1950s. Doctors believed them in the 1960s, but it was not until journalists believed the doctors in the 1970s that the public took notice.
