Lung Cancer Organization). Since 1965 to 1998 the number of cases has increased by over an astonishing 230% and is still on the rise (Lung Cancer Organization).
             Some people may be shocked by the amount of case but wait until they hear how many patients who actually die in America each year. An average of 157,000 Americans die each year from lung cancer. This year's early estimates say that about 156,900 will die of those 89,700 of them are men and 67,600 of them are women (Cancer Organization). Just recently the number of white and black men patients is declining, but the number of white and black female patients are on the increase as more turn to tobacco smoke in their youthful years (United States Lung Organization).
