Despite the decrease in prevalence of #cigarettes 🚬 in previous decades in 🇺🇲, #smoking is still the leading risk factor contributing to 20% of new #Cancer cases and 30% of cancer #deaths overall. Congratulations Farhad Islami, MD PhD et al for this work.

Proud of Julia for leading this study 👏 We found that a Tobacco-Free Generation policy prohibiting tobacco sales to those born in 2006–2010 could prevent 1.2 million lung cancer deaths in this cohort globally🚭🌍 Details in #openaccess article👇 thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…
