• Recommendations can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes
And always remember – do not smoke or chew tobacco
• Tobacco causes 90% of lung cancers
• Implicated in cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, pancreas, cervix, kidney and bladder
• Particularly harmful when combined with alcohol

• 12.5 year follow up• 5-6 for men, 6-7 for
women • Associated with 34%
lower hazard of death• Included cancer, heart
disease and lung disease• Same for all 9 countries
