Not all cases of lung cancer can be prevented, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk:
- Stop smoking – it does not matter how long you have smoked for, you will lower your risk if you quit smoking.
- Avoid secondhand smoke and air pollutants:
• Use protective equipment at work
• Test your home for radon - Stay active and eat a balanced diet, high in fibre
- Get screened if you are eligible
