Does quitting smoking really lower your cancer risk? Medical Oncologist Dr. Randeep Singh shares the science-backed facts:
📊 Key Takeaways:
Earlier Quitting = Lower Risk: The sooner you quit smoking completely, the faster your risk of developing cancer drops compared to active smokers.
Impact During Treatment: Smoking during chemotherapy or radiotherapy leads to poorer treatment results and increases side effects by 1.5x to 2x.
Action Plan: Always aim to quit smoking before a diagnosis—and unconditionally stop if diagnosed—to give your body the best chance to heal.
