Introduction: Smoking is a strong risk factor for lung cancer. As part of a series of supplemental analyses of the project SYNERGY that has been designed as a pooled analysis of lung cancer studies on the interaction of occupational carcinogens the risk of smoking was estimated for histological subtypes. Materials and Methods: This dataset comprised 10,050 cases (8,403 males, 1,647 females) and 12,388 controls (10,246 males, 2,142 females) from 11 European countries.
