The bill, S. 1190, is a concurrent resolution that aims to declare November 2026 as "Lung Cancer Awareness Month" in the state of South Carolina. The resolution highlights the significant impact of lung cancer on individuals and families within the state, noting that a substantial portion of those diagnosed have never smoked or have quit smoking. It emphasizes the various causes of lung cancer, including exposure to radon, secondhand smoke, and environmental factors, and points out that South Carolina has a higher incidence and mortality rate for lung cancer compared to national averages.

The resolution calls for increased awareness of lung cancer, screening, and biomarker testing as essential measures to reduce the state's lung cancer mortality rate. It concludes with a directive for the resolution to be presented to Governor Henry McMaster, reinforcing the legislative body's commitment to addressing this critical health issue in South Carolina.
