Questions on smoking habits the women or close relatives if the women had died were interviewed and asked about the smoking habits of their husbands at that time or up to the time the husbands died. Asked about the accuracy of estimates that a husband smoked More than 20 cigarettes a Day Garfinkel said such estimates could probably tend to separate heavy smokers from Light smokers and that s All you can  More than half of the women in the study were older than 70, and 22 percent were 80 or older at the time of diagnosis.
