I do smoke so is there any procedure to avoid cancer by smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Really: To avoid cancer after exposing yourself to smoking you can increase the amount of exercise and nutrition to try to offset the negative effects of smoking. But there is no known straightforward antidote to the harmful effects of smoking other than cessation of smoking.
