World Lung Cancer Day is observed every year on August 1.
The best way to reduce lung cancer risk is to quit smoking, as most cases are linked to direct or passive smoking.
Stay away from smokers and avoid places where people smoke.
Physical activity can help lower your risk of lung cancer.
Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to keep your lungs healthy.
Test your home for radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that has no colour, smell or taste. It is produced in the ground from uranium and diffuses into the atmosphere.
Avoid heavily polluted areas and take steps to reduce indoor air pollution.
Some chemicals, like arsenic and chromium, can increase lung cancer risk - avoid exposure when possible.
