The public health establishment as a whole needs to change its attitude and address lung cancer as a disease, not a punishment. The majority of patients still die within a year of diagnosis -- whether they smoked, used to smoke or never smoked. That statistic has never changed.

I was extremely moved by your article. On March 31, my upper left lobe was removed. I was and still am a smoker, trying hard to quit, which is obviously a New Year's resolution. I wish people could look past the cause of my cancer and more toward its cure and counseling. The stigma attached to the disease is worrisome and hurtful.
