Lung cancer is not just a smoker's disease!

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas given off by soil, rock, and water which can leak into buildings and accumulate to dangerouse levels. We can't see, smell, or taste radon gas, so you must test to identify radon levels in your home. At-home radon test kits are simple to use and can be purchased at home improvement stores, hardware stores or online for about $20 to $30.... Test your home today and save lives!

Why it's important to spread awareness and end the stigma of lung cancer!
