Because most people are non-smokers or former smokers, a study of non-smoking individuals was performed to see how they fared in relation to cancer and other disorders.

Not only do these findings support the importance of diet and exercise; they emphasize the enormous benefits of staying away from cigarettes and other tobacco products.
