The TRUTH About Quitting Smoking at ANY Age
Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer.
However, if you’ve smoked for most of your life, you might think it would be pointless to quit now.
After all, the damage is already done, and the cards have been dealt.
But if you believe that, you’ll be blown away by what I tell you next…
New research reveals it’s never too late to reap the benefits of quitting smoking—ESPECIALLY when it comes to reducing your risk of cancer.
In a massive study, researchers followed over 3 million people for an average of 13 years.
During that time, those who stopped smoking had a 42 percent lower risk of lung cancer!
The earlier someone stopped smoking, the greater the risk reduction. So, no surprise there.
In those cases, the drop in risk WAS quite dramatic. Folks who quit before 50 had a 57 percent lower risk of lung cancer.
But here’s the thing. Even those who quit after 50 had a 39 percent lower risk compared to the smokers.
Quitting led to a reduced risk of other cancers as well, including…
- liver (27 percent reduced risk),
- stomach (14 percent reduced risk),
- and colorectal cancers (20 percent reduced risk).
In other words, no matter your age, quitting smoking reduces your risk of many different types of cancer.
In fact, another study showed that once someone hits the 10-year mark after quitting, their risk of liver cancer drops to about the same as someone who never smoked.
The message is clear. It’s never too late to reap the benefits of kicking the habit.
If you’re in this boat, make today day number one.
It really could be the first day of the rest of your life.
P.S. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. But the number two cause could be in your home right now.
