Despite considerable research, the role of tobacco exposures in causing breast cancer remains unclear. Recently, evidence has emerged suggesting that active smoking may increase the risk of breast cancer but only when experienced during certain windows of vulnerability such as during adolescence or prior to a first pregnancy. An evaluation of such windows of vulnerability with respect to passive smoke exposure (i.e., exposure to the cigarette smoke of others) has generally not been possible due to the unavailability of detailed lifetime passive smoke exposure data. Also, most research conducted to date has focused on exposures in the home and has not taken into account passive smoke exposures in the workplace or other settings. This project is designed to study the relationship between breast cancer risk and exposures to passive smoke in the California Teachers Study (CTS) cohort, a large well-defined cohort of female professional school employees who have an extraordinarily low rate of active smoking (5%) ...
