Lung cancer cases rise in UK women:

Lung cancer cases in women are continuing torise, according to figures
released by Cancer Research UK.
It says more than 18,000 UK women were diagnosedwith lung cancer in
2009, compared with fewer than 8,000 in 1975.
Cases of lung cancer reflect smoking rates two to threedecades
earlier, as more than 80% of cases are linked to tobacco.
Lung cancer is still more common in men, with more than 23,000 cases
in 2009, but rates have been falling fast.
That means lung cancer incidence is now just under59 per 100,000 UK
men compared with 110 in 1975.
The comparable figure for women was 39 in every 100,000 women in 2009
- but 22 in 1975.
Wartime peak
Smoking rates for women in Britain were highest during the 1960s, with
around 45% of women smoking, but that has now fallen to around 20%.
The teenage girls and young women we see around us smoking todayare
the lung cancer statistics of the future"
Dr John Moore-Gillon
British Lung Foundation
Male smoking rates peakedat 65% during WWII, downnow to 22%. The lung
cancer rate in men peaked three decades later/

The Life of this Worldis Fleeting Enjoyment

http://translate.google.co.in/m?hl=en&twu=1/

"Know that the life of thisworld is only play and amusement, pomp and
mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respectof wealth and
children. (It is) like a rain (Ghayth), thereof the growth is pleasing
to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow;
then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe
torment, and (there is) forgiveness from Allah and (His) pleasure. And
the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." [57:20]
Allah the Exalted degrades the significance of this life and belittles
it by saying,
"that the life of this worldis only play and amusement, pomp and
mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respectof wealth and
children."
Meaning, this is the significance of this life to its people, just as
He said inanother Ayah,
"Beautified for men is thelove of things they covet; women, children,
much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and
well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world's life;
but Allah has the excellent return with Him." ( 3:14 )
Allah the Exalted also sets aparable for this life, declaring that its
joys are fading and its delights are perishable, saying that life is,
"Like a rain (Ghayth)," which is the rain that comes down to mankind,
after they had felt despair....
