Lung cancer is one of the biggest sources of death in the United States and in pretty much all cases is caused my cigaretts and second hand smoke. In 2005 196,687 people were diagnoised with lung cancer and 159,217 people died from it. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer among all races in the United States. Lung cancer accounted for more deaths than breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer combined.

I just learned something new...J.C Jordan Hale ( The beast ) reviewed this and liked it

One point that I learned on your page that I did not know before was: that lung cancer was one of the biggest sources of death in the United States. The page you created was informative or interesting because: you have a lot of statistics, numbers and facts. How I can use this information in my life now or in the future is... by using it as another reason not to smoke. I would still like to know more about... the ratio between men and women with lung cancer. A.F.
