Stop smoking if you want to protect yourself or loved ones from lung cancer.
Today, 5.6 million people smoke in Ukraine. Smoking is one of the main causes of mutations leading to lung cancer.

Even if cells with genetic mutations appear in the lungs, they will gradually be replaced by healthy and new cells.We tested 16 smokers who quit cigarettes. About 96% of the cells in their lungs have mutations that nonsmokers don't. Moreover, 25% of cells had cancer-related mutations.Over time, the number of healthy cells began to grow even in heavy (formerly) smokers. This confirms the fact that the lungs are able to recover!
