CHICAGO (Reuters) - Cigarette-smoking women run twice the risk of lung cancer as men who smoke but are far less likely to die from the disease than males, according to a study published on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Evidence from clinical trials neither supports nor refutes a benefit for surgery as a treatment for the most common type of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer or NSCLC, according to findings from the first-ever systematic review to address this topic.

Screening for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT) may help reduce lung cancer deaths in current and former smokers, but it won’t protect them from other causes of death associated with smoking, according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology.

The facts are clear. There is nothing worse you could do to adversely affect your health. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Women are cardinal times more promising to develop lung cancer then men. Cancer has now replaced heart disease as the number one killer of Americans aged 85 and younger. 1/3 of all cancer deaths are incidental to to smoking. Although there has been a huge decrease in the number of smokers between 1965 and 2000, 22% of American adults still continue to smoke. The good news is that surveys have shown that 70% of active smokers want to quit. When you quit smoking the benefits are immediate. Blood cells that transport carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke begin to transport well-preserved oxygen. Even though quitting doesn't completely eliminate the risk of developing lung cancer, the risk of lung cancer starts to decline. One year aft quitting smoking your chances of having a heart attack drops by half. The risk of lung cancer continues to decline and drop dramatically cardinal to ten years after quitting. So we know that quitting is unexpendable to enjoying a long and well-preserved life. The question is how do you pick the right way to stop smoking for you?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States among men and women. The disease claims more lives each year than colon, prostate, lymph and breast cancers combined. The National Cancer Institute estimates that 161,840 men and women will die of lung cancer in 2008. (PRWeb Nov 19, 2008)

Secondhand smoke or ETS is a combination of broadside stream smoke future straight from the burning tobacco and the mainstream smoke that is exhaled by the smoker. It comprises of over 4000 chemical constituents, a life-sized proportion of which are the inducers of respiratory illnesses and around 40 are known or suspected carcinogens.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has categorized ETS as a class A (known human) carcinogen along with other celebrated carcinogens such as arsenic, asbestos and benzene etc.

ETS is unfiltered, thus the levels of carcinogens in it are much more than in smoke inhaled directly by an active smoker. smoky of a cigarette produces smoke from two major places, mainly from the tip of cigarette and from the rest of the cigarette as the hot vapors free through the cigarette and its filter.
