46000 NEW CASES OF LUNG CANCER EVERY YEAR!
It's a sad fact, lung cancer is progressing among women. The figures are alarming because they represented 16% of patients in 2000, and 24% in 2010. Today, 34,6% of new diagnoses are women. Smoking is singled out by specialists. 40% of new cases of lung cancer under the age of 50 are women, they point out.
Smoking is responsible for this disease in more than 80% of cases, together indicate the League against cancer and Health Insurance. Among women aged 45 to 64, the trend is upward. The good news is the observation of a decrease in this pathology among young people, a consequence no doubt of the prevention campaigns against tobacco, which end up bearing fruit.
Obviously, vaping must also play its part in reducing lung cancer. Today, the electronic cigarette remains the best alternative to smoking and the first risk reduction tool in many countries.
