Paul Newman and Lung Cancer

Cancer has made the news with actor Paul Newman’s death yesterday reportedly from lung cancer. Everyone will shake their head knowingly… yes, Paul Newman had at one time been a chain smoker. It is this belief that anyone who gets lung cancer must have been a smoker that accounts for the lack of research funding for the disease that I am currently living with. But the truth is that the number of non-smokers being diagnosed with lung cancer is ever increasing. Please inform others of this fact when discussing Paul Newman’s death.
