Are there any news about LUNG CANCER?

GUESS WHAT? There are! In fact, news report that lung cancer is the SECOND cause of death in the U.S.A. Below is a pie chart showing the ten leading causes of death in the U.S.A.

[] On this pie chart posted in July 2008, it clearly shows that **HEART DISEASE** and **CANCER** are the two leading causes of death. 16% of deaths are deaths of smokers, which means **__115,883__** people are dying from SMOKING. 23% of **CANCER** deaths are deaths of smokers. That is **__538,947__** people dying. Don't you think that is a little bit too much? That's SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE dying, and even more! Our main topic isn't about preventing smoking, but if you don't want lung cancer and want to stay away from it, there's one simple thing you can do. Everybody knows it; STOP SMOKING!
