  1. It's so sad to see the death rates in New England from cancer. It is because people are not taking enough diet they are not eating a proper meal or if they are eating so not taking on time. They prefer junk food compared to healthy food which is the worst thing. Nowadays people are more depressed and in stress which is affecting their health.

  2. It is so sad to read about this cancer death article in New England. but what is the reason behind cancer death besides smoking. I have read an article, in the united kingdom more than 1 in 4 cancer death just because of smoking. I think the government should take a step and ban or something like that and think about it because human life is a big asset in the world.
