“Lung cancer is still the number one killer in men and women worldwide against all other cancers combined,” says Dr. Nina Maouelainin, an interventional pulmonologist, as she joins Dr. Regina Druz to tackle a powerful question: Why are so many non-smokers, especially younger women, now at risk? Dr. Maouelainin reveals how factors like air pollution, cooking fumes, and microplastics are affecting lung health in ways we’re just beginning to understand. She explains the importance of proactive screening and how family history can heighten risk—even for those with no smoking background. In a world full of invisible risks, are we paying enough attention to what we’re breathing? Dr. Maouelainin’s advice to “watch what you breathe” serves as a reminder that a healthy environment at home could be one of the most impactful steps toward better lung and heart health.
Quotes
- “November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and COPD Awareness Month. It is a topic that is very dear to me. And unfortunately, lung cancer is still the number one killer in men and women worldwide against all other cancers combined.” (01:45 | Dr. Nina Maouelainin)
- “In March of this year, a study came out in the New England Journal of Medicine where a group in Italy looked at the composition of plaques taken from patients’ carotid arteries… They found that a proportion of patients actually had microplastics and nanoplastics—tiny plastic particles—present in those carotid artery plaques.” (09:46 | Dr. Regina Druz)
- “We definitely do not pay attention to our radon… When was the last time you checked your radon level?” (30:07 | Dr. Nina Maouelainin)
- “My biggest message is to watch what you breathe… If you see it, chances are it’s going to get deposited in your lungs. Be much more aware of what you cannot see and breathe in.” (51:08 | Dr. Nina Maouelainin)
