Can Quitting Tobacco and Alcohol Reduce Cancer Risk?
Absolutely. Quitting tobacco can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer. The risk of lung cancer, for example, decreases over time after quitting smoking, although it may never return to the level of someone who has never smoked. Similarly, reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption can lower the risk of alcohol-related cancers. The benefits of quitting these habits are substantial, even for long-term users.
