FEWER MEN IN U.S. DYING OF LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer deaths among American men, which rose sevenfold from 1940 to 1982 and then started leveling off, have begun what is expected to be "a steady decrease" in the 1990s, the American Cancer Society reported Tuesday.

Lawrence Garfinkel, vice president of the society, attributed the decline in deaths to the steady drop in male smoking.
