Lung Cancer Treatment Options
Article by Frank De Sousa
I think you would be hard pushed to find a single smoker anywhere that wasn’t aware of the dangers of smoking. Even if you wanted to get away from it you couldn’t because the media won’t let you. If you haven’t taken any notice of these messages it’s because you want to ignore them. Lung cancer is not pleasant but is not the exclusive realm of the over 65’s and people prone to it because of genetics.
Most people think that just one cigarette won’t hurt them but they obviously are unaware that one cigarette won’t leave your lungs completely for a month. So you can imagine how much damage just one pack of cigarette can do. So, if you still haven’t made your mind up you really need to start doing some research and the internet is full of articles on lung cancer.
There is no excuse not to keep informed nowadays especially with all the resources there are to help you. Prevention is always better than cure and no-one can say that they weren’t given enough information nowadays to help stop a condition that is preventable. There are some medical conditions that once highlighted the individual will take appropriate action but this isn’t generally the case with smoking.
There are those that just need a bad scare to make them take some action and quit smoking. Often though by the time that the medical problem makes itself know, all the damage has been done and it’s too late. Knowing this, how stupid would you have to be to continue smoking, albeit through a slit in your throat, after having cancer of the same. I know some people find it harder to quit smoking than others but at what point would this person stop.
You cannot go on explaining things away and ignore the proof that smoking seriously damages your health. General medical information and articles on lung cancer support this and will confirm that respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis can be caused by smoking.
We need to work toward a smoke-free environment, because all the rest of us are being assaulted by the second-hand stuff. The case for this is now so strong, more and more countries and places are making smoking illegal in specific areas so isn’t it time you wised up?
