Lung cancer has long been associated with smoking - but shocking
new research reveals a terrifying new trend. In a break from precedent,
more and more non-smokers are being diagnosed with this deadly disease. Experts warn that air pollution could be a major culprit, yet we still lack the full picture. The World Health Organization (WHO) must act now to investigate and address this growing crisis before even more lives are lost. Sign now to urgently demand more research into this trend!Lung cancer is already
the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and it's only getting worse. Studies show that lung cancer in people who have never smoked is now
the fifth highest cause of cancer-related deaths. In 2022 alone, a staggering 200,000 cases of one particularly aggressive form of lung cancer - adenocarcinoma - were
directly linked to air pollution. Scientists fear this number will continue to rise as pollution worsens across the globe.
The consequences of inaction are devastating. Unlike traditional lung cancer cases, non-smokers who develop this disease may not even know they are at risk. Without awareness, they are diagnosed too late--when survival chances are grim.
Many of these individuals never had a choice. They never picked up a cigarette. They never engaged in any known risky behavior. And yet, they are still fighting for their lives anyway, without their participation or decision.
We need answers. We need action. And we need the WHO to take the lead in investigating and combating this crisis.
Sign the petition to ask for urgent research into the direct link between air pollution and lung cancer in non-smokers and strong international policies to reduce air pollution and protect public health!
