Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in America, taking more lives than breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers combined. Research holds the key to knocking lung cancer off its #1 spot. Today’s lung cancer research arena, while under-funded by the federal government, is nonetheless yielding many promising diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that need more time and funding to ensure their success. Research in the fields of lung cancer prevention, screening, and treatment shows great promise in changing the future for lung cancer patients.

For others it seems they simply wake up one morning and decide to < >quit smoking. What makes the difference in these people? Is someone who decides to < >quit smoking like this a stronger person than the one who has yet to become a non-smoker? Let?s evaluate.

The first part to our quit smoking guide is understanding how smoking becomes addictive. Once you discover the roots of the addiction, it is much easier to remove the behaviour.
* Addiction to nicotine: Nicotine is a substance found in tobacco that is highly addictive. Smoking trains your body to receive regular doses of nicotine. With time your body requires more nicotine and you begin to increase the number of cigarettes you smoke each day. Although addictive, nicotine itself is not very harmful.
