I see the public emphasis of the smoking-cessation campaigns undermining the progress in funding research for lung cancer. The over-emphasis on smoking-cessation (which I might also argue the effectiveness of the dollars spent there) actually focuses people on the stigma and the blame, versus working toward effective treatments and a cure. Eradicating smoking, which would make a positive impact on people's health in MULTIPLE areas, would not eradicate lung cancer. I'd still be dying of it...
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not work so hard to remind the public to blame people for their lung cancer...progress is set back because people feel justified sending their money elsewhere and neglecting the disease further. Work as hard on lung cancer as on other lung diseases. Make smoking-cessation programs about more than lung cancer...partner with other organizations for breast cancer, bladder cancer, and heart disease to coordinate smoking-cessation message (ever notice that they don't go out of their way to make that link??).

I have participated in training offered by this organization and worked directly with its talented staff. They have secured funding in the Department of Defense for lung cancer, which was unprecented (though not for other diseases).

Through their training, they change people's lives and turn them into real activists. They stay connected to their advocates and use our expertise to further their mission and toward accomplishing our shared goal.
