	Short of Breath? Ever feel short of breath after hanging out at bars? It’s probably the secondhand smoke that is affecting you. Experts say secondhand smoke is linked to approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths in non-smokers each year. Non-smokers are not only at risk for cancers, but heart disease and cardiovascular disease as well. Learn more about how secondhand smoke affects you by clicking here.



	Myth: Using deodorant causes certain types of cancer. Fact: Scientists at the National Cancer Institute are not aware of any research to support a link between the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data to support the theory that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer. Thus, there appears to be no basis for this concern. For more information, check out the CDC website.
