Jackson, MS

February 12th, 2007 by Lance Armstrong

I was in Jackson, MS today attending the President’s Cancer Panel Meeting. The topic of this series of meetings is on reducing the risk of cancer through promotion of healthy lifestyles. This meeting focused on Tobacco. Did you know that tobacco is responsible for over 30% of all cancer deaths? Think about that - by eliminating tobacco use we could save over 150,000 people a year from dying of cancer in the U.S.

I also submitted an opinion piece to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

On to New York.

LIVESTRONG,
