Abstract
PHENOL and a number of substituted phenols have strong tumour-promoting properties1, and similar activity has recently been demonstrated in a phenolic fraction of cigarette smoke (Salaman, M. H., and Roe, F. J. C., private communication). It seemed of interest, therefore, to record some results we have obtained in an examination of phenols from the smoke of a variety of British cigarettes.
