Description
Natarajan and co-authors review the case for quitting smoking as a shield against oral cancer. Smoking is a leading driver of these cancers, which remain a heavy global burden. The review gathers evidence on how stopping changes a smoker's risk, both soon after quitting and over the long run.
Quitting cuts exposure to cancer-causing chemicals and lets the mouth's lining heal, lowering the chance that malignant change takes hold. The benefit grows with time away from tobacco. The authors also survey public-health tactics that help people stop, from counseling to policy, and argue these belong at the center of oral cancer prevention. For smokers, the message is simple: stopping is the strongest step available.
