Lung cancer will kill more people this year than:
breast cancer
prostate cancer
colon cancer
liver cancer
kidney cancer
melanoma...combined
Lung cancer will kill three times as many men as prostate cancer this year.
Lung cancer will kill nearly twice as many women as breast cancer this year.
Over 50% of new lung cancer cases will be diagnosed at a very late stage—Stage IIIb or IV— and only 5% of them will live for 5 years.
Myth: After you stop smoking, your lungs go back to normal in 10 years.
Truth: The lungs never go back to normal. Most former smokers remain at elevated risk.
Current smokers: 35-40% of new lung cancer cases
Former smokers: 50% of new lung cancer cases
Never smoked: 10-15% of new lung cancer cases

these statistics are bogus. lung cancer is NOT the leading cause of death in america - its diabetes, and drunk driving believe it or not. its why theres national epidemic to combat obesity by the u.s. health dept. Not only that, I have reports by other conservative doctors who even question that cigarettes are responsible for lung cancer. again there is too much propoganda put out there by the medical industry.
the oldest man in the world, lives in japan, drank, and smoked and lived to be well over a 100. that's why i say all smokers should drink green tea, or use the extract tablets. switch a alternative diet, which includes neem tablets (neem is natures drugstore).
