Summary
Recent studies have shown that unhealthy lifestyles are the major contributing cause of cancer. Smokers are especially susceptible, to no one's surprise, and an estimated 168,140 people will die from smoking-related cancer this year alone. Additionally, obesity is a major cause of cancer, so anybody who is overweight should eat healthier and begin exercising. Finally, people should use the seriously underutilized cancer screenings available to them.
