Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, but early detection and prevention can save lives.

🌬️ 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬:

🚭 Smoking (the #1 cause — responsible for up to 90% of cases)
☁️ Secondhand smoke exposure
🏠 Radon gas
🧪 Family history of lung cancer
🏭 Exposure to asbestos and other harmful chemicals

💡 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬

If you’re 50–80 years old, have a history of heavy smoking, and currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years, ask your doctor about a low-dose CT scan. Screening can catch lung cancer early—when it’s most treatable.

🚭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

It’s never too late. Quitting smoking reduces your risk for lung cancer and improves your overall health—no matter your age or how long you’ve smoked.

𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸: Smoking is a known risk factor for prostate cancer. Men who smoke are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to non-smokers. Additionally, smokers are more likely to develop aggressive forms of the disease.

2. 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Smoking can complicate the treatment of prostate cancer. For instance, smokers may experience more complications after surgery, such as infections and slower healing.

3. 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: Smoking can reduce the effectiveness of certain treatments, like radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Smokers may have a lower response rate to these therapies, which can negatively impact their outcomes.

4. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀: Prostate cancer treatments often come with side effects like fatigue, nausea, and decreased lung function. Smoking can exacerbate these side effects, making the patient's overall well-being worse.

5. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸: Smoking is associated with a higher risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients who smoke are more likely to experience disease progression and have a lower overall survival rate.

6. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲: Smoking can reduce a patient's quality of life during and after treatment. It can worsen symptoms, reduce physical fitness, and hinder the recovery process.

Given these negative impacts, it is strongly advisable for prostate cancer patients to quit smoking. Quitting smoking can lead to several benefits, including:

• 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸: Quitting smoking reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and lowers the risk of developing other smoking-related health issues.

• 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀e: Non-smokers tend to respond better to cancer treatments, leading to improved outcomes.

• 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳e: Quitting smoking can lead to better overall health, increased energy levels, and a higher quality of life for prostate cancer survivors.

• 𝗙𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Non-smokers generally experience fewer complications during and after cancer treatment.

It's crucial for prostate cancer patients who smoke to seek support and resources to quit smoking, as it can significantly improve their prognosis and overall well-being.

Pride with Purpose: Protecting Our Health

This , let’s celebrate love, identity, and community — and also protect our health.

Did you know that to***co companies have historically targeted the LGBTQ+ community with marketing campaigns that exploit our spaces, pride events, and media? As a result, LGBTQ+ individuals are more than twice as likely to use to***co products compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers.

But we deserve better. We deserve to breathe freely, live fully, and thrive.

To***co use increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness — and quitting can dramatically improve your health in just weeks.

Whether you're quitting for the first time or trying again, the Inspira Quit Center is here for you. They offer:

• FREE one-on-one and group counseling
• Ni****ne replacement therapy (patches, gum, lozenges)
• Virtual and in-person support

𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 — a time to shine a light on one of the most serious and often overlooked cancers.

Smoking and va**ng both play a dangerous role in increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. The harmful chemicals in to***co and e-ci******es can damage the lining of the esophagus, leading to long-term, sometimes deadly consequences.

Smokers are up to 10 times more likely to develop esophageal cancer. And while va**ng is often seen as a “safer” option, studies show it still exposes users to cancer-causing toxins.

This April, let’s spread awareness, encourage prevention, and support those affected. Your choices matter. Quitting smoking or va**ng can save your life — and the lives of those around you.

If you are a smoker, you can get help with quitting.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and while smoking is strongly linked to various cancers, including colorectal cancer, quitting smoking is a significant step towards reducing your risk.

• People who have smoked to***co for a long time are more likely than people who don't smoke to develop and die from colorectal cancer.

• Someone who smokes has up to 60% higher risk of colorectal cancer than someone who does not smoke.

• Someone who quits smoking lowers their risk of colorectal cancer than those who continue to smoke.

• The risk of colorectal cancer increases with the number of years spent smoking and the number of ci******es smoked per day.

• The longer someone smokes, the greater the risk for death from colorectal cancer.

This Black History Month, Prioritize Your Health! 🖤💪🏾🚭

To***co companies have historically targeted Black communities, leading to disproportionate smoking-related health issues.

Here are some key statistics about the to***co industry's impact on Black Americans:

𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠:

• To***co companies have historically targeted Black communities with aggressive marketing, particularly for menthol ci******es. Studies show that 85% of Black smokers use menthol ci******es, compared to 29% of white smokers.

• In the 1950s, only 10% of Black smokers used menthols, but due to decades of targeted advertising, that number skyrocketed.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬:

• Black Americans are more likely to die from to***co-related diseases than any other racial or ethnic group, despite smoking at similar or lower rates than white Americans.

• Smoking-related illnesses are a leading cause of death among Black Americans, contributing to higher rates of lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 & 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭:

• Despite high motivation to quit, Black smokers have lower quit rates due to reduced access to quit-smoking resources and the addictive nature of menthol ci******es.

• Community support and quit programs improve success—if you're thinking about quitting, help is available!

The 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 is here to help you:

✔️ 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 ni****ne replacement products like patches, gum, and lozenges.

Have you thought about quitting smoking, va**ng, or chewing to***co? You don’t have to quit in one day, just start with one day, so why not make today the day?

Within minutes of quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drop to normal levels. Within 2 weeks, your circulation improves, and your lung function increases. The long-term benefits continue over time – including reduced risk of cancer and heart disease. Research shows that while quitting is difficult, with help, you can increase the likelihood of quitting successfully.

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵.

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.

Cigarette smoking is the top risk factor for lung cancer, with the Centers for Disease Control estimating more than 80% of all cases are caused by to***co use. Unfortunately, about 70% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage when survival rates are low.

Low dose computed tomography, known as a CT scan, is key for identifying lung cancer early. According to the American Lung Association, in New Jersey, 4% of those at high risk were screened, which was significantly lower than the national rate of 6%.
Under new lung cancer screening guidelines, updated in 2021, anyone between the ages of 50 and 80 who has smoked at least 20 “pack-years” and either still smokes or quit within the last 15 years will be eligible.

A “pack-year” is calculated by multiplying the number of packs a day someone smoked during the years they smoked the most by the number of years they smoked. For example, someone could qualify by smoking pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years.

It is easier than ever to get screened for lung cancer. To save lives, eligible smokers and former smokers have to accept that they are at risk and get screened.
