Nonsmokers

' Rights Nonsmokers’ Rights refer to the legal rights of individuals to not be exposed to or face discrimination due to their choice of not to smoke. Nonsmokers’ Rights laws seek to safeguard the health of individuals who choose to not smoke – as well as those who live, work, and pass through spaces where smoking is prohibited, such as in hospitals, workplaces, and public places. These laws provide protection from secondhand smoke, limit advertising of cigarettes and other tobacco products, and even restrict where people can smoke in public. In some places, nonsmokers’ Rights laws also extend to other substances and products, such as banning vaping and restricting the sale of flavoured tobacco products. Nonsmokers’ Rights laws are important for the health and well-being of individuals, promoting public health and reducing risks associated with smoking.

Lung cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that start off in one or both lungs; usually in the cells that line the air passages. Abnormal cells do not develop into healthy lung tissue, they divide rapidly and form tumors. As tumors become larger and more numerous, they undermine the lung's ability to provide bloodstream with oxygen.
