World Lung Cancer Day: Debunking Dangerous Myths
August 1 is also World Lung Cancer Day, a date that now centers not only remembrance, but misinformation correction. In a widely circulated campaign, oncologist Dr. N. Aditya Murali highlighted six dangerous myths about lung cancer, including:
-
Only smokers get lung cancer – False. Non-smokers account for a growing percentage due to pollution, asbestos, and genetics.
-
Low-tar cigarettes are safe – There is no safe form of tobacco.
-
It affects only older men – Women and people under 50 are increasingly affected.
-
Lung cancer is always late-stage – CT scans now detect it in early, curable stages.
-
Treatments are too toxic – Newer therapies target cancer precisely, with fewer side effects.
-
It’s always terminal – Advances in immunotherapy and personalized medicine mean longer survivorship.
Dr. Murali urged high-risk individuals—especially those 55–74 with smoking history or exposure—to undergo low-dose CT screening, which reduces mortality by nearly 20%, according to the National Cancer Institute.
The Convergence of Beauty and Wellness
This year’s August 1 marked an intersection of self-care, health advocacy, and consumer empowerment. From product launches that promote confidence and sustainability to public health education that dispels fear with facts, the day offered a compelling glimpse into where beauty and wellness are heading: informed, inclusive, and proactive.
