Lung Cancer Rates a Concern in Saint John

85% of lung cancers are linked to tobacco use......that from Ellen Snider with the Cancer Society. This after learning the Vital Signs Report shows lung cancer rates in the Greater Saint John Region are on the rise. Snider tells CHSJ News, 20% of the people living in this Province still use tobacco in some form.

Snider adds she would like to see the province take further measures to ensure tobacco use will not impact the future health of New Brunswicker's like we are seeing now.
