Transform treatment

Smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of death in industrialized countries. There are more than 90 million smokers and ex-smokers in the United States, among more than 1 billion smokers worldwide.  In the United States more than 440,000 people die prematurely each year due to their smoking habit, with an estimated 160,390 lung cancer deaths in 2007 alone.  Smoking’s negative impact extends to health care systems and economies, accounting for costs estimated at up to $150 billion a year in the United States.

Engage doctors & patients

Studies show that smoking cessation efforts improve when smokers are presented with personal risk information or events.  With Respiragene™, doctors now have a new tool that enables them to engage their patients and discuss personal health risks--before the onset of disease symptoms.

Improve quality of life

Knowing that you are at higher risk of contracting a disease can be a powerful motivator to try to make significant lifestyle changes especially stopping smoking. Quitting improves health and well-being right away and lowers future health risks.

Lower Mortality Rates

Smoking cessation and taking steps with your physician to more actively monitor your health for early symptoms of disease such as lung cancer are key factors in improving overall health and lowering mortality rates attributed to smoking.
