Fighting America's oil addiction proverb

 Fighting America's oil addiction with these standards is like fighting lung cancer by smoking 49 cigarettes a day instead of 50.

 The biggest issue with lung cancer, as we know, is that smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Without a doubt, 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths are caused from smoking,
  Karen Carpenter

 We know that second-hand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer and studies have suggested that it is associated with lung cancer mortality. But this is the first study to show that second-hand smoking also is associated with lung cancer survival. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness. We know that second-hand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer and studies have suggested that it is associated with lung cancer mortality. But this is the first study to show that second-hand smoking also is associated with lung cancer survival.

 Smoking appears to confer a modest elevation in breast cancer risk, ... Certainly this relationship is not as strong as the relationship between smoking and lung cancer or smoking and heart disease, but breast cancer may be another disease to add to the long list of diseases associated with smoking.

 It's appalling that the tobacco industry is not held responsible for the deadly products it continues to market and sell to young people. Clearly, the industry is trying to get young people hooked on smoking and nothing is being done to limit this targeted marketing. Cigarettes, even in assorted candy flavors, cause lung cancer and lung disease and should be banned for the sake of our children.

 Dana Reeve's death highlights the fact that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S., claiming 30,000 more lives annually than breast cancer. It is not unique that she developed lung cancer as a non-smoker -- at least 1 in 5 women with lung cancer have never smoked.

 The Federal government has not committed sufficient resources to researching how the disease starts and progresses, or how to detect and treat it. When accounting for all Federal funding on specific cancers, the U.S. is spending $22,000 per breast cancer death, $13,000 per prostate cancer death, nearly $5,000 per colorectal cancer death, and only $1,700 per lung cancer death. Considering that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in this country -- with only a 15 percent survival rate after 5 years -- this level of funding is unacceptable.

 Whether talking about addiction, taxation [on cigarettes] or education [about smoking], there is always at the center of the conversation an essential conundrum: How come we're selling this deadly stuff anyway?
  Anna Quindlen
