Individual Health is focused on one patient, public health is focused on health of populations
Sedentary lifestyle, alcohol and other drug use, sexual activity, behaviors that cause injuries, tobacco use, poor eating habits
This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.
If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.
If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.
I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!
