More young and middle-aged women are being diagnosed with lung cancer at a higher rate than men, and scientists are struggling to understand why, new research shows. Awareness of the disease’s effects on women is lacking, experts say, and the US government spends significantly less on its research than on similar studies in men.
“When you ask people what the number one cancer killer of women is, most will say that it’s breast cancer. It’s not. It’s lung cancer. Lung cancer is a women’s health disease, but we clearly need to educate more people about it,” said Dr. Andrea McKee, a radiation oncologist and volunteer medical spokesperson for the American Lung Association.
Have you been in a salon? Those spray products are unholy. Breathing in those things every day for years can’t be good.
Makeup and perfumes are inhaled way more by women outside of a salon too. That just can’t be good for a person.
Yeah, people are fixating on the salon, but I just meant that as an example. Many women use a lot of product at home every day. It can’t be good.
So why don’t barbers have a high cancer rate?
Hairdressers do have above average rates of cancer, amongst other elevated rates of health conditions linked to chemical exposure.

Who says they don’t? Was there a study done on them?
Anecdotal but I’ve not seen a barbers on the level of women’s salons, and I was in the barbers yesterday.
Not an aerosol in sight. Sure sprayed me with some liquors but nothing like what women spray.
Plus women have salons for hair, nails and whatever else so more exposure.
