title: Smoking and allergic history as correlative risk factors in pulmonary function performance.
abstract: Pulmonary function data were compared with smoking history and past personal and family history of asthma, hay fever and eczema in apparently healthy males age 30 to 39. Mean values for FEV1 and MMEF were significantly lower in smokers with a positive allergic history compared to non-allergic smokers.
