To make sure that cigarette paper is not a major factor, they had "all-tobacco" cigarettes specially made-wrapped in ordinary cigarette-tobacco leaf. Then they painted the collected tars on the shaved backs of mice, and counted the resulting cancers. While a mouse's back is admittedly not the same as the inside of a man's lung, histologists (tissue specialists) say that it is of essentially the same structure and shows similar reactions...
