During
the last 20 years lung cancer has increased in women while it has
decreased in men.
The 2001
Report of the Lung Cancer Progress Review Group (to the NCI) warned
that lung cancer research funding was far below the levels of other
cancers and was "far out of proportion to its massive public health
impact."
The 2007
Surgeon General Report warned that secondhand smoke is a major health
hazard.
Every
30 seconds someone dies from lung cancer.
