Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both women and men in the United States and throughout the world. Lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. In the United States in 2007, 160,390 people were projected to die from lung cancer, which is more than the number of deaths from colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer combined. Only about 2% of those diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread to other areas of the body are alive five years after the diagnosis, although the survival rates for lung cancers diagnosed at a very early stage are higher, with approximately 49% surviving for five years or longer.

Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lung that primarily causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the lung tissues necessary to support the physical shape and function of the lung are destroyed. It is included in a group of diseases called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD (pulmonary refers to the lungs). Emphysema is called an obstructive lung disease because the destruction of lung tissue around smaller airways, called bronchioles, makes these airways unable to hold their shape properly when you exhale.

      .. i'll make a bet with you that kathy here comes down with some sort of serious sickness (e.g. cancer) before it's legal for my little sister to smoke.

      my sister's twelve - where i'm from, it'll be legal when she turns eighteen. so i give it six years.

      if that doesn't happen. I'LL smoke a cigarette.

      Stop belittling people Perez, its so fucking annoying. I think this may be one of your most annoying characteristic so far. I think people can make their own decisions OK. And if they want to fucking die of lungcancer, let them and shut up.

      out of curiosity anyone know what they are sipping on? It looks too dark to be a white wine, I was thinking maybe it was tequila shots…they have a margarita glass there, maybe they ordered 2 extra shots? If thats tequila I wonder what kind because its dark for gold tequila.

      Obesity is a bigger killer. Also, overall the lifetime medical costs picked up by the state are less for smokers than porkers. Perhaps you should consider controlling YOUR appetite with a smoke or two.

      Go ahead and wear a hat so you don't get wrinkles, but suck on the stick responsible for terrible aging effects. Smart!
