*When 22 non-smoking and two smoking first degree relatives aged 18 years or younger were removed from the analysis the means and age ranges were 39.9 (18.3–80.0) for non-smokers and 46.1 (18.1–87.0) for smokers. These values were not statistically different from controls (p = 0.884 for non-smokers, p = 0.340 for smokers).
