In vivo $gamma$ spectra for 42 smokers who exhibited the following average conditions; smoked for 25.6 yr. consumed 31.4 cigarettes/day, and was 45.3 yr of age, and 21 nonsmokers who averaged 47.7 yr of age and who had never smoked, were evaluated. Neither group had ever worked with radioactive material and all subjects were male. The data showed no significant difference in buildup of thorium in the lungs of the two groups. (UK)
