How Can You Lower Your Risk of Getting Lung Cancer?

  • The best way to lower your risk of lung cancer is simple: Don't smoke. If you do smoke, quit. The sooner you quit smoking, the sooner your risk of lung cancer drops. It's never too late to quit smoking.
  • Stay away from second-hand smoke.
  • Check your home for radon, an odourless, invisible gas that can seep through walls and basements.
