NEW YORK -- A new report details the toll lung cancer is taking on public health. 

The American Lung Association's data breaks down the challenges faced by each state. 

More than 350 people die from lung cancer nationwide each day. But there's been a 22% increase in survival rates over the past five years. 

We spoke with the American Lung Association's National Assistant Vice President for State Public Policy Mike Seilback to discuss the findings. 

He addressed what can be done to increase survival rates even further, and how to close the health disparity gap. We also asked about screenings and other recommendations.
