November is Lung Cancer Awareness month

Hello Friends
this month is lung cancer awareness month

Great post Manu!!!!

Wonderful post👏👏👏👍🏼

Thanks for your post, in USA indoor smoking is not allowed in all the companies, universities, almost everywhere. In public places also smoking is not allowed.

Dear friend ...thank you for this useful information !

• Cancer is a loss of normal control over cell growth and division. Uncontrolled cells form a tumour.
• Lung cancer is cancer that arises from the lungs.
• There are basically 2 types of lung cancer:
• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
• Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
• 80-85% of lung cancer cases are NSCLC.
• Both types of lung cancer cells behave differently and are treated differently.

"What is Lung Cancer?"

• Cancer is a loss of normal control over cell growth and division. Uncontrolled cells form a tumour.

"Why is lung cancer so common today?"

• In men, the routine issuing of cigarettes during the world wars led to many soldiers becoming addicted to smoking.
• A major peak in the incidence of lung cancer in men occurs several years after the first and second world wars.
• In women, smoking did not become fashionable until the 1960s.
• The incidence of lung cancer in women did not peak until the 1970s or 1980s.
• If everyone stopped smoking today, people would still develop lung cancer over the next 10, or even 20 years, because that's the incubation period for the disease.

thanks for the info and for all the effort you put in!🤗

Second smoking is very dangerous and it affects the family and the people around the smoker.

I hate smoking and the people who smoke 😡 yuck i really gets irritated by that disgusting smell mostly people smoke in public parks and near car parking area which i have seen👎🏼no one in my family smoke but i really want cigarettes to be Banned!!

Thank you Manu for yet another informative and very important thread 👏👏👏

I do not smoke, never did, though I have in my family people who smoke, so I guess I was my whole life a secondary smoker. I know it is a huge addiction, because some of my family members try to leave it, some succeed in it, but some not, though they know that it is not good for their health.

It is good to talk about it and raise awareness, and the fact that whole month is dedicated to that illness prove how wide spread it is and how affects a lot of people.

I pray and hope that people will take care about their health more seriously, and by doing that prevent any future complications and sickness.
