This 'long' thread is about-

"Lung Cancer Awareness month- Nov"
"World Pneumonia Day- Nov12"
"National Lung Cancer Screening Day- USA: Nov12"

This count is almost double the number of deaths caused by the 2nd most common cause of cancer deaths - colorectal cancer!!

Tobacco smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer

Smoking in public places exposes those who are not interested in smoking .. (3/21)
