With next year's presidential election still over a year away, candidate hopefuls are cranking up the heat on health issues and the stances being taken. Seeing as cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S., it is sure to take front stage quite a bit between now and late next year.
In the latest edition, Kansas Senator Sam Brownback and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee have joined
Senator John Edwards in stating publicly that they intend to fight cancer with increased funding and research.
One of the largest and most viewable aspects of cancer topics -- cigarette smoking -- has these men taking different opinions on what steps should be taken to curb smoking. Huckabee supports a nationwide smoking ban, while Brownback supports control by local communities. Which is better in your opinion?
