Significantly increased relative risks were found for persons who had smoked only cigarettes (RR = 2.9; both sexes combined) and for mixed smokers including cigarettes (RR = 3.6; both sexes combined). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed significant influences of the amount (pack years) of cigarettes smoked and a reduced risk among persons who had stopped smoking. No significant effects of smoking pipe or cigars/cigarillos were apparent, and the present study does not confirm previous suggestions of associations between the smoking of cigars/cigarillos and bladder cancer in Denmark. Only a slight increase in relative risk with the amount smoked was found. The influence of smoking on bladder cancer risk was similar for tumours in stages T1 and T2-4 at diagnosis and also for tumours of grades 1-2 and grades 3-4 at diagnosis.}, issn = {0143-005X}, URL = {https://jech.bmj.com/content/41/1/30}, eprint = {https://jech.bmj.com/content/41/1/30.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Epidemiology \& Community Health} }
