quitting, blood levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide drop significantly, allowing oxygen to circulate more freely to the body&#8217;s various cells. At the same time, the lungs begin to clean themselves and evacuate all the harmful substances and mucus clogging them. Gradually, the entire cardiorespiratory system recovers its efficiency, and the cells altered by repeated smoking are renewed.\n\nEven so, it takes an average of 10 years for an ex-smoker to regain a level of health comparable to that of a non-smoker who has never touched a cigarette. It&#8217;s this relatively long delay that leads some people to believe that quitting smoking doesn&#8217;t prevent cancer, or even worse, causes it.

Let&#8217;s be very clear: no, quitting smoking does not cause lung cancer, or any other type of cancer for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>However, as we have seen, the body takes some time to repair all the damage caused by cigarettes, and it takes between 5 and 15 years for it to return to a state of fitness close to what it would have been without them.

Alas, it&#8217;s not enough to stop puffing on a cigarette for this eventuality to become null and void overnight. Pre-cancerous cells may already be present in the body, and are likely to develop into cancerous lesions despite withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>However, stopping smoking reduces the chances of malformed cells turning into cancer, particularly in the lungs. When you stop smoking, new cells gradually re-establish themselves in the lungs, helping to protect them against this common pathology among smokers. The longer the last cigarette, the lower the risk of cancer, although it remains higher than for non-smokers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c7364c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c7364c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Smoking cessation is essential even when cancer has been diagnosed<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30a9919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"30a9919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Receiving a cancer diagnosis following a medical consultation doesn&#8217;t mean there&#8217;s no point in quitting smoking. On the contrary, it&#8217;s probably the last warning a smoker gets before it&#8217;s too late! Among other things, smoking can increase the side effects of certain anti-cancer treatments and raise the mortality rate of cancer patients. A person with lung cancer has a better chance of survival if he or she is committed to smoking cessation, even if this has only recently begun.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6131f7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6131f7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">It's never too late to quit smoking!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05c0d1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"05c0d1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What's in it for you?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75b2dc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75b2dc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As we&#8217;ve seen throughout this article, quitting smoking is one of the most powerful preventive measures against all kinds of cancer.
