Smoking & Lung Cancer – Stats To Wake You Up!

Lung cancer is the most dangerous type of cancer & took the life of 17 lacs people in 2016 alone which means 4600+ lives each day. The biggest factor of lung cancer is smoking. Smoking alone took the life of 60 lacs people each year worldwide. It’s loss of about 16,500 lives each day. Do we need more brutal reason to quit smoking or ask others to quit? We think no. But still, let’s explore more. Few smokers argue that non-smokers too have lung-cancers. Yes, it’s true but please remember that 80+% of the lung-cancers are caused by smoking. Given the fact that 80,000-100,000 people (that includes children as well) join smoking each day, the situation is serious. Even if we can’t change the world, we can change ourselves. So, quit smoking, eat healthy, exercise daily and keep cancer away to live healthy & live more. And yeah… stopping smoking works!
