Intrestly after being brought up in a yellow stained house, neather my sister or I smoke!
Same here, both of us have never smoked. Dad smoked heavily for at least 40 years but gave up a few years ago, he died recently at 65, it was a health issue, however not smoking related.

If you live long enough, you will eventually get cancer.

"Cancer: Lifestyle causes 40% of cases warns charity"

Don't worry; there'll be a report tomorrow saying that one beer or glass of wine a day will give you several different cancers.
And the next week someone else will be saying alcohol is good for you in moderation.
If you believed or took heed of all these studies you would just sit in a field and slowly starve to deat.
Just because I could get struck by lightning, that's no reason to stop looking left and right when I cross the road.
Avoiding lifestyle cancer triggers is a good idea. It lessens your risk, but of course doesn't remove it. Also, if you do get a "bad luck" cancer, aren't you chances of beating it better if you start chemo or whatever from a healthy point?

I dunno, you've got to wonder if someone has a vested interest in all these articles.
Take this one from the BBC again from 2006, "Tea, healthier drink than water".
"Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption.
They found clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day can cut the chances of having a heart attack.
Some studies suggested tea consumption protected against cancer, although this effect was less clear-cut.
Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening."
"The Tea Council provided funding for the work. Dr Ruxton stressed that the work was independent".
