LE FIGARO.
- For cancer, we feel that the fight against alcohol is less offensive than the fight against tobacco ...
Yes, we could still see this Thursday morning in the statements of the president of the National Cancer Institute, saying straight away
"we are not hygienists"
.
We feel that this is an embarrassing subject, and we do not observe any desire to emphasize the risks associated with alcohol.
Look at the results on the prevention of the previous cancer plan (2014-2019): 100 million euros were spent on the fight against tobacco, and only 700,000 euros on alcohol.
This does not correspond to the level of risk: alcohol is the second cause of preventable cancer after tobacco.
We also talk too little about the synergies between tobacco and alcohol, but the cancer risks when we consume both do not add up but multiply!
