| The Journal of the American Medical Association has included in its September 28 edition findings of a Denmark-based study that simply cutting down on cigarette use also helps lower the risk of lung cancer even for heavy smokers. Copenhagen University Hospital's Dr. Nina S. Godtfredsen and her team's 31-year research into the link between lung cancer and reduced smoking found that bringing down daily cigarette consumption from about 20 sticks to below ten helped effect a 27% drop in cancer risk compared to a group that maintained the habit. For long-term and consistent ex-smokers, risk of the disease was 83% below that of their heavy smoking counterparts, while non-smokers exhibited even less risk of contracting lung cancer. Light smokers, or those consuming 9 sticks a day on average, reduced their risk by 56%. However, those who permanently quit saw their risk fall 50% compared to heavy smokers.
