We have got to stop our young women from smoking!

Yes, I've been on my high-horse about tanning too! A sad sight is to see a darling girl leave a tanning salon and light up a cig... If only they had crystal balls!

Personally, I would like to see smoking banned completely.
Realistically, with nicotine being highly addictive, this isn't going to happen.
I have never smoked, but was unfortunate enough to get small cell carcinoma, less than 1% of cases are non-smokers.
I also got it in my breast rather than my lungs, an even lower percentage!
And it was hormone receptive - almost unheard of!
Yet I carry the gene for the common breast cancer which both my sister, mother and maternal grandfather had!
Risk factors are just that, no guarantees one way or another.

they don't seem to be precisely beneficial what motives breast maximum cancers, yet many stuff/ environmental aspects, like cigarette smoking, have been related as threat aspects for breast maximum cancers. remember, cigarette smoking is a threat element for many categories of maximum cancers.

Also, are you going to stop the young women from tanning? I see way more high school/college girls tanning than smoking, and tanning is just as bad for you.

Never smoked a cigarette in my life. Got breast cancer anyway.
