Quitting smoking and lung cancer risk reduction?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Recent New England: Journal papers demonstrate that quitting before age 35 reduces your risk t never smokers, but quiting at any age up to 65 (they didn't have data beyond that) markedly and significantly redced risk and mortality. Quit. Never start. Don't allow the tobacco thugs to profit from your suicide.
