Lung cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer in Canada, representing 30% of the cancer deaths in males and 25% of the cancer deaths in females. Smoking is the single most important cause of lung cancer. A comprehensive approach to tobacco control has been adopted all over the country. Measures such as educating the public about the harmful effects of smoking have contributed to significant decreases in smoking over the past several decades. The annual results from the official departments show that between February and December 2007, 19% of the Canadian population aged 15 years and older were current smokers. Slightly more males than females were smoking. But the difference between the male and female smoking rate has narrowed from 6% in 2005 to only 2% in 2007. 14% of Canadian households reported at least one person who smoked inside the home every day or almost every day. Among the remaining homes where someone did not smoke every day or almost every day, 12% of homes still allowed smoking inside. It was also reported that 7% of children under the age of 12 were regularly exposed to second-hand smoke at home. There are no differences between 2007 and 2006 in these respects. All this shows we have a long battle to fight. World No Tobacco Day is held every year on May 31 to encourage countries and governments to work towards strict regulation of tobacco products. The theme of 2008, Tobacco-Free Youth, aims to educate the general public and particularly the young people about the dangers of smoking.6. _ is the leading cause of death due to cancer in Canada.A) Liver cancerB) Lung cancerC) Stomach cancerD) Bone cancer Script: _ is the leading cause of death due to cancer in Canada.正确答案：B学生答案：B 得分：2分 7.
