Good news on the health front for a change. Cancer death rates in the US have dropped "bigly". Last year was the single biggest decrease ever. Most of the drop can be attributed to lung cancer deaths which itself can be attributed to a decrease in smoking rates. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...cer-death-rate

It is great news. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine who smoked died about two months ago from lung cancer.
I made more than one attempt over the years to get her to quit. Nothing worked. She left behind a mass of medical bills and a nineteen year old daughter who is searching for answers.
For heaven sakes, people. Learn. Smoking cigarettes is a one way ticket to the cemetery.

You don't have to tell me.... my beautiful mother died from lung cancer at only 58.... smoker with poor eating habits. I despise smoking of any kind.

Yes, my brother died of lung cancer this summer at age 68. The media loves, loves, LOVES stories about people w/lung cancer who never smoked a cigarette, but 80-90% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. https://www.lung.org/lung-health-and...act-sheet.html

Good news.
I know people (like a lot of us do) who started smoking in their teens and they didn't make it to 50.
Perhaps we'll see more Cancer in the future b/c of Glycosphate.
Cancer is mostly a disease of older people, and the U.S. population is aging rapidly. So while rates are declining, the absolute number of cancer deaths is not.
"We have more than 600,000 deaths from cancer in this country every year, and that number continues to grow," Siegel says.
Since the US birth rate continues to decline, and number of US cancer deaths continue to increase, how is the cancer death "rate" decreasing?

While growth is slowing the US total population is still increasing. That growth includes immigration, not just births.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I hear of more people getting pancreatic cancer lately.
You are right.

Why Pancreatic Cancer Is on the Rise
Pancreatic cancer will soon be the second-biggest cause of cancer deaths
Oncologist Robert A. Wolff has been treating pancreatic cancer at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for 20 years. “Since I've been practicing, I've seen a shift from smoking to obesity as the driver,” he says. “An average patient of mine has a body mass index between 30 and 35 [obesity is defined as 30 or more], has diabetes or prediabetes, is hypertensive and takes a lipid-lowering agent.” Toss in a history of smoking, and such patients, he says, “are just time bombs for pancreatic cancer.”

According to the graphs, yes, a slight rise.
