Smoking tobacco is the #1 risk factor for lung cancer. The good news: It’s never too late to quit, and quitting can significantly decrease your risk of getting cancer or other lung disease. It can also improve your prognosis if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10–15 years after quitting, the smoking-related risk of lung cancer drops by 50%. Quitting smoking can also improve your prognosis if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer.
