Association Between Passive Smoking and the Risk of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 1 in Korean Women.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The role of passive smoking on cervical carcinogenesis remains controversial. We investigated the association of passive smoking with the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer.
