Cancer is a communicable disease.
You get it from tobacco companies. Concurring, doctors say that successful smoking cessation programs could wipe out 90 percent of lung cancer cases. Lung Cancer claims more lives each year than breast, prostate and colorectal cancer combined and also more than breast, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancers combined. There are 170,000 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed each year. According to the American Cancer Society , tobacco use accounts for 30 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States, and smoking is responsible for 90 percent of lung cancers in men and more then 70 percent in women.
