November is 🤍
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but many cases are preventable. Protect your lungs and help lower your risk by:
✅ Quit smoking — It’s never too late to stop. Within weeks of quitting, your lung function begins to improve.
🚫 Avoid secondhand smoke — Even brief exposure can increase risk.
🏡 Test your home for radon — This invisible gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
🥗 Eat a balanced diet — Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants help support lung health.
🏃‍♀️ Stay active — Regular exercise keeps your lungs strong.
🩺 Get screened if you’re at risk — Annual low-dose CT scans can detect lung cancer early when it’s most treatable.
