The Stigma Ends Now
Did you smoke? That is often one of the first responses patients hear when they tell people about their lung cancer diagnosis. For decades lung cancer has been singled out as THE smoker's disease, despite evidence that over 30 other deadly diseases are directly linked to tobacco consumption. In fact, a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney failure and diabetes are among those smoking-related diseases. This connection between tobacco and serious illnesses other than lung cancer has been known for quite a while. The U.S. surgeon general lists smoking ...

Majority of L.A. tenants favor smoke-free apartments, but 80 percent of units are still not protected

Men From The South Are More Likely To Die From Smoking-Related Cancers
Smoking causes nearly 29 percent of all cancer deaths among Americans over the age of 35, according to a new analysis published in JAMA Internal Medicine. But that doesn’t tell the full story. Men from the top five southern states skew this data, dying at a rate that’s 40 percent higher than the national average. The higher proportion of cancer deaths attributable to smoking in the South isn’t simply because people in that region smoke more ― that distinction goes to the Midwest. Instead, experts say, the lack of funding for tobacco control programs means that there are less resources for people wh...
