Global Cancer Facts & Figures 2nd edition includes a special section on cancer in Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where the disease is an emerging public health problem. According to IARC, about 681,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 new cancer cases and 512,400 cancer deaths occurred in 2008 in Africa. These numbers are projected to nearly double (1.28 million new cancer cases and 970,000 cancer deaths) by 2030 due to the aging and growth of the population, with the potential to be even higher due to the adoption of behaviors and lifestyles associated with economic development and urbanization such as smoking, unhealthy diet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and physical inactivity.
The report says despite this growing burden, cancer continues to receive low public health priority in Africa, largely because of limited resources and other pressing public health problems,cheap marlboro red cigarettes wholesale, including communicable diseases such as AIDS/HIV infection, malaria, and tuberculosis. Cancers related to infectious agents (cervix, liver,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kaposi sarcoma, urinary bladder) are among the dominant forms of cancer in Africa.

The world's third-largest tobacco company by sales volume after Philip Morris International Inc. and British American Tobacco PLC generated a net profit of 37.5 billion yen ($456.2 million) in October-December period, compared with a 40.9 billion yen profit in the same period a year earlier.

The state now allocates just 0.5 percent of the $120 million recommended for New Jersey by the CDC since it revised its state spending recommendations in 2007. Dr. Fred Jacobs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], director of the Quality Institute for the Saint Barnabas Health Care System and former commissioner of the state Department of Health and Senior Services under former Govs. Richard Codey and Jon Corzine, said even in the face of budget cuts during each of his three years as commissioner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he always preserved the $11 million in funding he had for anti-tobacco programs.
He did so even while watching other programs in his department lose money. They (anti-smoking programs) were that important to me,Jacobs says. If you increase the smoking rate just 1 percent, the cost is in the billions of dollars. So even just from a financial sense, it's worth it to spend the money . . . But when you talk to the (state) Treasury, they don't look at it that way.
