Hi Eileen
I,m sure you are Okay to take your vitamin regimen
The results were pointing toward male smokers.I do not know if you have access to the American journal of Epidemiology Vol 152:149-162. I find it funny and disappointing that now some manufactures of multi-vitamins are making a multi with out the beta-carotene and calling it a smokers vitamin. remember that these are studies and not scientific research in a controlled environment. Im sure research will follow regarding this topic,keep your ears and eyes open.
Best regards to all and I wish everyone to live their life to the fullest.
