Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that start off in one or both lungs. It usually happens in the cells that line the air passages in your lungs. These cells that form in the lungs do not develop into healthy lung tissue, but it divides rapidly and forms tumors. When these tumors grow they make it such a problem that it slowly stops the lungs ability to provide the bloodstream with oxygen. The tumors that remain stable in one spot and do not spread throughout the lungs are called benign tumors. Preventing cancer is such a necessity and an essential component to cancer control plans because an estimated number about 40% of all cancer deaths could have or can be prevented. With information gathered between the years of 1973 and 2007, the unfavorable lung cancer trend in white women born after circa 1950 in the southern and Midwestern states. Research showed that there was a decline in age-specific lung cancer death rates among women in the US slowed in those who were under the age of 50. This indicated that there was a low level recommendation for additional interventions that promote the end of smoking in high-risk populations. This was because it possibly could lead to a raise in the mortality trends not only for lung cancer but for additional smoking-related disease as well. We are all aware that smoking cigarettes is highly correlated towards lung cancer and is more than likely the cause most of the time. Also, tobacco itself is responsible for 90% of cases of lung cancer. What also falls under the use of tobacco and can cause lung cancer are pipe and cigar smoking, second hand smoking, asbestos fibers that you breathe in, radon gas and lastly the air pollution. Those who smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day raise their chances of lung cancer 25 times higher than a non-smoker and those who smoke pipes or cigars are about 5 times
