Lung cancer usually starts at an 'older age'. You of course first have to get to that age... PS. Great side, superb videos, very nicely presented (both in graphics as in speech).

Great statistics! I have a little critique: The presentation of the percentages are somehow confusing, because the women do not make up 10% of the men. I would find it more appropriate, if you present a percentage of the entire population as ca. 10% and then 40$ instaed of 66%. OR present the ratio between number of men and women. I know that's what a percentage can represent. However, ordinary perception and associations are commonly different. Best wishes. Very nice site! Great statistics!
