Since I am a chain smoker, what can I do to reduce my risk of cancer?

Answer 1

dark green vegetables fight free radicals from carcinogens very well

Answer 2

Well the best thing you can do is quit....it's hard to do but it is do-able....ex-smokers will always be at a higher risk than non-smokers for cancer..thats just a fact that we have to live with...BUT for each year that you dont smoke the body will start to repair itself...lungs clean out etc etc...and the chances of getting cancer are reduced...nobody is safe from getting it even the non smokers/non drinkers etc....look how many children have cancer...and they werent smokers

Answer 3

The best way to reduce your risk is to quit smoking, but just know that your lungs have already been exposed to the dangers of smoking for years ( I don't know how long you have been smoking), so years down the road, you may still get cancer. There are other diseases that you may get, like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) , or emphysema.

Answer 4

Cut down on smoking. Nothing else can reduce your risk of lung cancer further.

Answer 5

Please give up. I work in a Hospice and I have seen the effects smoking has had on people. Start by reducing the cigarettes and them give up completely. Try using patches or gum to help.

Answer 6

Not that I am advertising or something. In this website, click "Prevent Cancer" on the NAVIGATION section, and that might help. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/franciatanael/

Answer 10
