The introduction of the UK's Vaping Products Duty reflects growing concern about youth vaping and nicotine uptake. The GLCC believes more research is needed to better understand the long-term impact of vaping and supports evidence-based measures to protect future generations. #LungHealth

In a small trial in Turkey, 84 people newly diagnosed with non-small cell #LungCancer were assigned to a 12-wk nurse navigation programme or usual care. The navigation group reported less depression & stress, & better QOL + fewer emergency department visits. #LCSM pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42686455/

#LungCancer surgery became more common in England. Among 308,000+ people with NSCLC, the proportion having surgery rose from 15.4% (2015) to 20.9% (2023). Stage I diagnoses rose from 17.4% to 26.8%. Early diagnosis must lead to timely treatment. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/9... #LCSM
