The CDC report says in the five year period between 1999 to 2004, tobacco was responsible for 2.4 million cases of cancer in the U.S.
Top of the table were as might be expected, lung and bronchial cancer which accounted for almost half the cases, but the CDC says cancers of the larynx, mouth and pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, cervix, as well as acute myelogenous leukemia, were also found to be caused by tobacco.

A new Center for Disease Control and Prevention study cleared the air and found fewer Americans are breathing in harmful second hand smoke.
The research, published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, found nearly half of nonsmoking Americans are still breathing in cigarette fumes, but since the early 1990s the percentage has declined dramatically

A new report issued today by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) exemplifies the need for nonsmoking Americans to be better protected against exposure to secondhand smoke. The report finds that 46 percent of Americans show biologic exposure to the deadly toxins found in cigarettes. Even more startling are the millions of children this statistic includes.

Women smokers may not be at greater risk for lung cancer than their male counterparts. These results were recently published in Lancet Oncology.Lung cancer claims more lives every year than any other type of cancer. In fact, lung cancer kills more people than breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer combined. 
It is well known that smoking is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing lung cancer. However, there has been recent debate as to whether female smokers are more susceptible to developing lung cancer than male smokers.

Biological indicators, or “biomarkers” of exposure to secondhand smoke that can be analyzed in blood, tissue or other samples, or through imaging scans are needed to examine whether exposure to secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer.

In an article published in The Lancet today, the researchers also said that although a reduction in lung cancer as a result of such policies is plausible, evidence to support such a health benefit will only become apparent in the future.

Smokers and passive smokers have an equal chance of contracting fatal diseases caused by smoking, claimed Pakistan Medical Society (PMS) President Dr Masood Sheikh.
He told Daily Times on Sunday that, “There is no difference between smoking and passive smoking. A smoker is at risk. However, a non-smoker who inhales the smoke exhaled by a smoker is at equal risk. This poses a serious issue.”

Screening for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT) may help reduce lung cancer deaths in current and former smokers, but it won’t protect them from other causes of death associated with smoking, according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology.”Our study suggests that screening may be one way to reduce risk of death from lung cancer,” said the study’s lead author, Pamela McMahon, Ph.D., senior scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and instructor in radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. “However, the number-one goal should still be to quit smoking, because it will reduce risk of death from many causes, including lung cancer.”
