Quit Smoking, Double Your Chances of Surviving Cancer!

People diagnosed with lung cancer can double their chances of survival by quitting smoking early on, according to new research from the UK. This is great news because it's the first hard evidence showing that kicking the smoking habit can significantly improve a lung cancer patient's odds of survival. According to health researcher Amanda Parsons of the U.K. Centre for Tobacco Control Studies:
"The message is you should never give up on giving up (smoking)... Even at the stage where you have been diagnosed with early stage lung cancer ... if you give up smoking, your body can still partially recover and your risk is reduced."
Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer in the world. Hopefully this new research will help to make it a little less deadly for millions of smokers around the world!
