November is also Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Anyone can get lung cancer, but there are some factors that can increase your risk. About 80%-90% of lung cancer deaths are related to cigarette smoking. Routine screening for people with a history of smoking can find more lung cancers early and save lives.
Are you save because you don’t smoke? NO. According to research, Secondhand smoke harms more than just the person who is smoking. Even brief exposure to secondhand smoke can increase the risk of lung cancer and other serious health issues for non-smokers—including children, infants and pregnant women. Creating a smoke-free environment starts at home, but it doesn’t stop there. Whether you live with someone who smokes or in a building where smoke drifts in from other units, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones by frequently doing screening.
