Many cancers are preventable if people adopt healthy lifestyles. Avoiding cigarette smoke and tobacco in any form is the most important action anyone can take to avoid cancer, especially lung and pancreatic cancers, which are most often incurable. Cigarette smoke is estimated to be the primary cause in the development of at least 30% of all cancers.
