🚭 It's time to choose a healthier lifestyle!

Every year, 700,000 lives in the EU are lost to tobacco. It is the leading cause of preventable cancer in Europe and the biggest preventable health risk.

As #EWAC2025 continues, we call for stronger EU policies to support cancer survivors:
🔹 Address long-term needs
🔹 Enforce the Right to Be Forgotten
🔹 Fight discrimination in credit access

Survivors deserve a future free from stigma.

Of course, prevention is the best cure.

1 in 2 Scots still don't know that alcohol causes #cancer

That's because under the current voluntary label schemes, the alcohol industry omits this truth 🤫

We need mandatory health warning labels on alcohol products

🥀 In 2022, over 14 thousand children and teens in Europe were diagnosed with cancer.
