Dear Colleagues,


May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day, a global initiative to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and its devastating effects on lung health. Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable lung cancer deaths, responsible for nearly 7 out of 10 cases worldwide. Early detection is crucial: Lung cancer screening finds over half of cases at an early stage, compared to only about 25% without screening, greatly improving chances of successful treatment


As a Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS), you play a critical role in guiding individuals toward healthier choices and encouraging life-saving screenings.
