Tobacco and lung cancer

Smoking is the number one preventable cause of premature death. One in two smokers who smoke throughout their life dies of a disease related to this consumption. In pneumology, two of the main pathologies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer, are due in approximately 80 to 90% of cases to tobacco consumption.

Lung cancer is the set of malignant tumors originating in the bronchial or bronchopulmonary level. The incidence and mortality are very close, which testifies to the poor prognosis of this disease.
