Exercise can reduce a smoker's lung cancer risk, but quitting smoking is still most important
In a study of more than 36,000 women, researchers observed that smokers can reduce their risk of developing lung cancer by being physically active. However, they strongly caution that any relative benefit is dwarfed by the benefits gained from quitting smoking.   view more (2006-12-11)
