Smoking and tobacco use are major causes of cancer, linked to lung, mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreatic, bladder, and kidney cancers. Secondhand smoke is also harmful. Quitting reduces cancer risk significantly. Prevention, education, and support are key to combating tobacco-related cancers.

Regular physical activity lowers cancer risk by regulating hormones, boosting the immune system, and reducing inflammation. It also aids cancer survivors by managing fatigue, improving mood, and enhancing quality of life.

Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of cancers like breast, colorectal, and pancreatic. Excess body fat leads to inflammation and hormonal imbalances, promoting cancer. A balanced diet and regular exercise are key to weight management and cancer prevention.

A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can reduce cancer risk. Limit processed foods, red meats, and sugars, which can increase risk. A balanced, plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle choices are key to prevention and support during treatment.
