#250posts24hrsAAPI - 55: And In Case You Needed Another Reason To Quit Smoking

Saturday, May 20, 2017

Err - check these stats out from the CDC:

The three leading causes of death among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are cancer, heart disease, and stroke,8 all of which can be caused by cigarette smoking.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders.9 Within this population—

Hawaiian men and women have the highest rates of lung cancer deaths.

Filipino men and women have the lowest rates of lung cancer deaths.

Yeah - I'm working on the patch.

But maybe after this quest.
