IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS IN LUNG CANCER

The people should be given the comprehensive information about the lung cancer when a campaign is conducted by any cancer support groups. Now-a-days, many people are unaware of the latest treatment techniques and methods used in the field of treating lung cancer. People should give support to the government to successfully implement the ban on the cigarette. Anybody can participate in cancer awareness program. It is just easy. A person who is willing to take part in the lung cancer awareness can offer an event just from the workplace.

He/she can make posters regarding the consequences of smoking and can display them in public places and cancer clinics and some work places. There are many internet websites are available to give complete details and procedures to quit smoking. The latest information about the new improvements in lung cancer treatment and the techniques involved in detecting the lung cancer in its early stage are given in these websites. Every cancer society will have its own website which helps people 24*7.

Lung cancer awareness campaign is an effective way to educate the people about the worthiness of the early detection of lung cancer and the evil impressions of smoking habit. There are wide numbers of lung cancer support groups available. They usually conduct lung cancer awareness campaign program often in many parts of the world. The main aim of these campaigns is to give training and the complete set of information about the lung cancer to everyone in the world.

These campaigns conducted by the support groups are helpful in reducing the overall death toll of lung cancer. Smokers who realized the bad consequences of smoking after hearing to the campaign have started to throw out the habit. A shocking statistics says that around 110 people are detected with lung cancer every day in United Kingdom. Out of 5, one death is due to the lung cancer in United Kingdom. Therefore UK government should take the appropriate steps to cut down the number of smokers by making the people aware of the burdens of smoking habit.

‘SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH’ – It is a well known slogan for everyone. But the question is that why still some people follow the habit of smoking even after knowing the real meaning of this simple slogan. In fact, the above slogan is imprinted on the cigarettes itself. People who buy the cigarette can easily see the slogan. But they never care about the real meaning of the slogan.

A recent report claims that the percentage of youngsters in active smokers list is around 58%. This is really a shocking news because the world has been developed enormously and everybody wants to live the life happily and peacefully, but the youngsters who have responsible future life are getting spoiled by the worthless habit of smoking. Smoking a cigarette can make a person to feel good for just few minutes, but the ultimate effect of smoking, the lung cancer will not leave him/her till the death. By concluding, we can say that awareness of lung cancer among the people is poor.

In every year, November month is conducted as the cancer awareness month. The main aim of this program is o educate the people about the importance of quitting smoking and the early diagnosis of lung cancer. If an individual smokes a cigarette every day, then he/she is likely to get affected by lung cancer four times more than a person who does not smoke. Sometimes people who do not smoke also are affected by this direful disease. This happens when a person is exposed to the smoke emitted from other smoker’s cigarette.

This is usually called as passive smoking or second hand smoking. Therefore, people who are aware of smoking also get affected mistakenly sometimes. The government should take proper steps to reduce the use of tobacco related products and a strict law should be formulated to ban the usage of tobacco and tobacco related products anywhere in the country. Both the buyers and the seller of tobacco related product should be imprisoned and fined heavily. Awareness can be given via cancer awareness campaigns also.

Lung cancer is the world’s most deadliest and expensive disease. This awful disease accounts for more than 40% of the total number of deaths all over the world. In United States, lung cancer tops the list of deadly diseases which cause death of many people. We can say that the recent generation of people is very intelligent and curious to know about any new technologies and other stuffs.

But it is mysterious that why these intelligent people are unaware of the ill effects of lung cancer. Still some people know the dreadful effects of lung cancer; they do not care about it. This will lead to a major problem in the future. But these people do not realize this fact and start smoking casually. Later on, they become addicted to the habit which will ultimately result severe lung cancer. Therefore, people should be aware of the lung cancer and some campaigns should be conducted by the government in order to make the folks mindful of the effects of lung cancer.
