Smokers With Cancer Can Add More Years To Their Lives According To A New Study

If you are a smoker and you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, there’s now a way you can add years more to your life.

Cancer patients who quit smoking shortly after a diagnosis significantly lowered their risk of dying, a University of Texas study found.

Patients who started tobacco treatment and quit smoking within nine months of their cancer diagnosis added nearly two years to their lives.

The earlier they quit smoking, the longer they lived.

The study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
