Relay for Life Quitters Walk: for those who have quit smoking Event is part of the Relay for Life June 9, 2006 Big Night From Relay for Life Education Committee Jessica Caldwell & Jelaine Phillips As the day for Relay for Life, June 9, 2006, gets closer we are reminded of those who have lost the battle with cancer and those who fight to survive. We are encouraged by the progress in treatment and research, yet we should be doing more in prevention. Each year about 428,000 people die in the U.S. from tobacco use. Smoking accounts for about 30% of cancer deaths Cigarette smoking accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths. It is a major cause of cancers of the lung, larynx, oral cavity, pharynx and esophagus, and is a contributing cause in the development of cancers of the bladder, pancreas, cervix, kidney, stomach, and some leukemias. According to the American Cancer Society, about 87 of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, and is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Fortunately, lung cancer is largely a preventable disease. For those who smoke, cessation has major and immediate health benefits for men and women of all ages. Benefits apply to persons with and without smokingrelated diseases. Smoking cessation decreases the risk of lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke and chronic lung disease. Secondhand smoke is known carcinogen For those who don't smoke, don't start and don't be around secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is classified as a known human carcinogen or cancercausing agent. It contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds with more than 60 of them being suspected to cause cancer. There are about 3,000 lung cancer deaths in nonsmoking adults yearly. If you have given up tobacco please join us for Relay for Life on June 9th, 2006 and walk the Quitters Lap at 745. This is a lap to recognize and celebrate with those who have made the choice to improve their health by giving up tobacco. If you are a smoker and need help to quit, call your local health department or 1-800-QUITNOW for support. This story was posted on 2006-06-02 14:23:07
