The air we breathe plays a major role in our lung health. šŸ«

Air pollution is a major public health concern, contributing to millions of deaths each year and affecting communities around the world.

From outdoor sources like wildfires, vehicle emissions and industrial activity to indoor pollutants in our homes and workplaces, the air around us can have a significant impact on our health.

By understanding air quality and the factors that affect it, we can take steps to better protect our lungs and the people around us.

Learn more about air quality and how you can support your lung health on our website.

Your left and right lungs arenā€™t *exactly* the same.

The lung on the left side of your body is divided into two lobes, while the lung on your right side is divided into three.

Fun fact: The left lung is also slightly smaller to allow room for your heart! ā¤ļø

Young people are the future of lung health. šŸ«

On International Youth Day, weā€™re recognizing why youth are at the heart of so much of what we do.

Through education, resources and advocacy, weā€™re working to empower young Canadians with the knowledge and support they need to make informed choices and protect their lung health. If youā€™re an educator, make sure to check out our Lungs Are For Life program for even more helpful resources.

What conversations about lung health should we be having more often?

A generation of young people is growing up surrounded by messaging that makes va**ng seem harmless. šŸ’Ø

But the reality is far more complicated. Teen va**ng can impact developing lungs, create ni****ne dependence and introduce a slew of health risks that may last well beyond adolescence.

Knowledge is one of our most powerful tools in protecting youth lung health. Watch our Marketing, Misinformation and Mental Health webinar to see how you can help.

Your health is your greatest wealth!

As we head into the long weekend, take the time to rest and do something that supports your well-being. Maybe for you that means getting outside, practicing yoga or just slowing down a little!

Small choices today can lead to stronger, healthier tomorrows.

Have a great Canadian summer long weekend!
