While smoking isn’t the only cause of lung cancer, you are at much greater risk of lung cancer if you are a current or past smoker. When you smoke, the cancer-causing substances in cigarettes, called carcinogens, begin to change the tissue in your lungs almost immediately. Over time, the cells become too damaged and can eventually develop into cancerous cells. • At first your body might be able to repair the damage, but over time, the cells become too damaged and can eventually develop into cancerous cells. • The best thing you can do is to avoid smoking. And for those who do smoke, look for ways you can stop. It is never too late to quit smoking. After 10 years of not smoking, your chances of developing lung cancer are halved. • At the end of the day, whether a person who has lung cancer has smoked or not is unimportant. Every person deserves the same level of care, empathy, and support. We’re working hard to change the conversation around lung cancer and lung disease to make this a reality. • To find out more, to get involved in breaking down the stigma or to access support, connect with us today: https://lungfoundation.com.au/lung-ca...
