Since human lung carcinoma is predominantly caused by cigarette smoking [Doll & Peto, 1981] the question arises whether lung tumours of smokers tend to be chemoresistant more frequently than tumours occurring in nonsmokers. To answer this question we determined the resistance of human non-small cell lung carcinomas and compared these results with the cigarette smoking habits of the patients
