LUNG CANCER1998-2007 • Incidence •  Males 15.5%,  Females 23% • Mortality •  Males 17.8%,  Females 23.9% • 5 year survival • 13% Males, 15% Females •  in lung incidence in males due to smoking cessation • Uptake of smoking among females occurred later – therefore impact only now being observed

  4. LUNG CANCER APRIL Age Progression Software is a unique computer program that creates a stream of images of a person's face as it changes with age, also known as a Smoking Simulation Software. Health and lifestyle effects such as smoking, sun exposure and obesity can also be applied. For example you can illustrate the differences of someone who smokes vs. a non-smoker and allows you the ability to compare and save the results, displaying a progression of aging. http://ks3.smokesnojoke.org.uk/content/AgeingEffects.aspx
