      Lung Cancer – 22% of cancer deaths in this country are from lung cancer. In the whole world, lung cancer kills about 1.3 million people every year.

      Cigarette smoking has been identified as the single most important cause of preventable death in the UK. Overall, more than a quarter of all deaths from cancer, including an estimated 90% of lung cancer deaths, are linked to tobacco smoking. Which is crazy! I wish we could get people to stop smoking!
